Know before you buy
Yes, the All-Clad D3 3-Ply construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
The D3 set is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes.
The 18/10 stainless steel surface features a starburst finish to help with stick resistance. For the best results, allow the pan to preheat properly before adding oil or food.
The riveted stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. However, they will get hot if used in the oven or under the broiler, so always use oven mitts.
The 3-ply construction consists of a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design ensures even heat distribution across the entire pan, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven cooking.
