Know before you buy
Yes, the All-Clad d3 construction features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
No, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and performance of the stainless steel. While the materials are durable, the dishwasher can dull the polished exterior over time.
This saucepan is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, it will become hot if used in the oven or under a broiler, so always use an oven mitt.
No, the 18/10 stainless steel interior is non-reactive. This means it will not impart a metallic taste to your food or discolor when cooking acidic ingredients like tomatoes, wine, or vinegar.
The triple-ply design sandwiches a pure aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel. This construction provides rapid, even heat distribution across the entire pan, eliminating hot spots that can cause food to burn.
