Yes, the All-Clad D3 stock pot is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
Yes, this pot is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes.
While the pot is durable, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish and performance of the stainless steel.
The wide base is specifically designed to allow you to sauté aromatics, sear meats, or brown vegetables directly in the pot before adding your liquid. This saves you from having to dirty an extra pan.
