Know before you buy
Yes, the All-Clad D3 fry pan is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
The pan and its lid are oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it versatile enough for finishing dishes under the broiler or slow-roasting in the oven.
The tri-ply design features a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This ensures fast, even heat distribution across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven cooking.
The pan features an ergonomic, riveted stainless steel handle designed for a secure and comfortable grip. Because it is made of metal, the handle may get hot on the stovetop, so we recommend using an oven mitt or towel when handling.
The gently sloped sides are specifically designed to make it easier to flip food, toss ingredients, and slide items out of the pan onto a plate. This shape is ideal for sautéing and frying where frequent movement of food is required.
