Know before you buy
The 5-ply bonded construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum throughout the entire pan, not just the base. This design ensures heat travels evenly up the sides, which eliminates hot spots and provides more consistent temperature control for delicate sauces or searing.
Yes, the All-Clad D5 Weeknight Pan is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass ranges.
Absolutely. This pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it ideal for recipes that require finishing in the oven or keeping a meal warm.
The weeknight pan features higher, gently sloping sides compared to a traditional straight-sided sauté pan. This shape provides a generous searing surface while offering enough depth to prevent splattering when simmering liquids or tossing ingredients.
No, the high-quality stainless steel cooking surface is non-reactive. You can safely cook acidic ingredients without worrying about metallic flavors leaching into your food.
The pan features an oversized, ergonomic handle designed for a secure grip. While it provides excellent control, it is made of stainless steel, so it will get hot on the stovetop; we recommend using an oven mitt or towel when handling.
