Know before you buy
D3 refers to All-Clad's signature tri-ply construction. This means the pan is made of three layers: a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two durable layers of high-quality stainless steel, which ensures even heat distribution across the entire surface.
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction. The magnetic stainless steel exterior allows it to work efficiently on induction ranges.
Absolutely. The pan and its stainless steel lid are oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it versatile for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
The 18/10 stainless steel interior is designed to sear proteins effectively, which creates 'fond'—the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. These bits are essential for deglazing and building deep, complex flavors in pan sauces, which nonstick surfaces cannot achieve.
The handles are double-riveted for durability and feature a classic stainless steel design. While they are sturdy and secure, they are made of metal, so they will get hot on the stovetop; we recommend using an oven mitt or towel when handling.
To keep the pan looking new, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh cleaners. For stubborn spots or heat discoloration, a specialized stainless steel cleanser like Bar Keepers Friend works exceptionally well to restore the shine.
