Like the kind All-Clad produces- stainless steel sandwiching a core of aluminum or copper.

I can understand how you can produce clad metal sheets, but not in a more complex form as a pot.

layer sheets of metal and at heat (enought to make it malliable) put into press/mold.

Or take your core of copper/etc and then press/mold.

Sounds reasonable enough.. Can't believe why I didn't think of that. Here I was thinking about centrifugal casting, press forging, etc. :confused:

EDIT: It's called deep drawing.

big heavy press for the most part, i'd imagine.

a milled/mahined pot would cost out the ass.
