What customers say
Customers highly value the All-Clad D3 Skillet for its superior quality and enduring performance. The core praise centers on its robust 3-ply construction, which ensures exceptional durability and reliable, even heat distribution crucial for professional searing results. Users appreciate that this consistency prevents hot spots, making cooking predictable. While adapting to stainless steel requires learning proper preheating, the skillet proves incredibly versatile for various cooking tasks. The included domed lid adds utility by locking in moisture.

Know before you buy
Tri-ply construction features a core of conductive aluminum sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design allows the pan to heat up quickly and distribute that heat evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can burn food.
Yes, the D3 Stainless skillet is fully induction compatible. The stainless steel exterior is magnetic, allowing it to work efficiently on induction burners as well as gas and electric cooktops.
Yes, this skillet is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. You can comfortably sear a steak on the stovetop and transfer it directly into a hot oven to finish cooking.
The domed lid is specifically designed to provide extra clearance for resting meats or simmering larger portions. It helps retain moisture and heat, making it particularly useful for resting proteins after searing.
While the skillet is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the polished finish. For stubborn stuck-on food or heat discoloration, a stainless steel cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend works effectively to restore the shine.
The handles are double-riveted for a secure, permanent grip. They are designed with a concave shape that fits naturally in the hand, providing better control and balance even when the 3.88 lb skillet is loaded with food.
