Know before you buy
D3 refers to the pan's tri-ply construction, which consists of a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design ensures fast, even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
This is a stainless steel pan, not a non-stick coated one. While it features a starburst finish that offers natural stick resistance, you will need to use a small amount of oil or butter and proper heat management to prevent food from sticking.
Yes, the All-Clad D3 fry pan is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric.
This pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it highly versatile for searing on the stovetop and finishing dishes in the oven.
Yes, because the handle is made of stainless steel, it will conduct heat. It is recommended to use an oven mitt or pot holder when handling the pan during stovetop cooking.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to maintain the luster of the stainless steel finish and prevent potential discoloration over time.
