Know before you buy
Yes, the All-Clad HA1 features a bonded stainless steel base specifically designed to be compatible with all stovetops, including induction.
While the nonstick finish is durable, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to maintain the integrity of the coating and extend the life of the pan.
The pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop, though it will become hot if used in the oven. We recommend using an oven mitt when removing the pan from the oven.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to preserve the nonstick surface and prevent premature wear.
The pan features high, straight sides that provide ample volume for braising, simmering, and sautéing while minimizing splatters on your stovetop.
