What customers say
This All-Clad D5 skillet is lauded as a professional grade workhorse built for serious cooking. Customers consistently praise its superior performance, noting the five ply construction delivers exceptionally even heat distribution without hot spots, perfect for searing.

Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction layers stainless steel and aluminum to provide consistent heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan. This eliminates hot spots, ensuring your food cooks evenly whether you are searing a steak or sautéing delicate vegetables.
Yes, the All-Clad D5 skillet is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, halogen, and ceramic surfaces.
Absolutely. This skillet is oven and broiler safe up to 600° F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
No, this skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the brushed stainless steel finish and the performance of the 5-ply construction, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and water.
The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, because it is made of metal, it will become hot if used in the oven or under the broiler, so always use an oven mitt.
No, this is a traditional stainless steel skillet and is completely PFAS-free. It relies on proper heat management and oil usage to prevent sticking rather than chemical coatings.
