Know before you buy
The tri-ply construction sandwiches a heat-responsive aluminum core between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the entire pan, eliminating hot spots and providing consistent results when searing or browning.
Yes, the All-Clad D3 skillet features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
Absolutely. This skillet is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to finish steaks or other dishes in the oven without needing to transfer them to a different piece of cookware.
The rims are precision-engineered with a flared edge that allows you to pour sauces, pan juices, or liquids cleanly without them running down the side of the pan, keeping your stovetop and counters cleaner.
The 18/10 stainless steel surface is highly durable and non-reactive, meaning it won't impart metallic flavors to acidic foods. While it is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a stainless steel cleaner is recommended to maintain the polished finish and prevent heat tint.
