Know before you buy
The graphite core provides significantly faster heat conductivity than traditional stainless steel or aluminum-only pans. This allows the pot to heat up and cool down much more rapidly, giving you precise control over your cooking temperature.
Despite its durable 5-ply construction, the G5 Graphite Core is designed to be lightweight, weighing only 5.62 pounds. This makes it easier to maneuver and pour from compared to heavier cast iron or thick-bottomed stock pots.
Yes, the All-Clad G5 is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.
No, this pot is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the bonded construction and the finish, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water.
This stock pot is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes or keeping them warm.
No, the interior is made of high-quality stainless steel. It does not have a nonstick coating, which allows for better searing and browning of ingredients.
