Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum to provide superior heat distribution. This design eliminates hot spots and prevents the pot from warping, even when exposed to high heat.
Yes, the All-Clad D5 stockpot is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.
While the stainless steel is durable, All-Clad recommends handwashing this stockpot to preserve the brushed finish and overall integrity of the bonded construction over time.
This stockpot is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
The guard serves two functions: it prevents messy grease splatters on your stovetop during simmering and allows you to strain liquids directly from the pot without needing a separate colander.
The pot features oversized, double-riveted stainless steel handles designed for a secure, ergonomic grip. Because they are metal, they will get hot on the stovetop, so you should always use oven mitts when handling.
