What customers say
This premium skillet earns high praise for its superior cooking performance, driven by exceptional heat retention and remarkably even distribution, especially on induction surfaces. Its seven-ply construction ensures consistent temperature stability, making searing and complex reductions easier. Users value the professional grade finish and perceived lifetime durability. The main drawbacks noted are its significant weight, which impacts maneuverability and handling during pouring or cleaning, and its high price point. While performance is unmatched, some question the added value over lighter, less expensive alternatives. It is best suited for cooks prioritizing absolute cooking results.
Know before you buy
The d7 technology refers to a patented seven-ply construction that layers different metals, including an aluminum core, to create a thicker, more conductive vessel. This design provides significantly more even heat distribution and better heat retention than traditional stainless steel, performing similarly to cast iron but with faster responsiveness.
Yes, it is an excellent alternative if you want the heat retention and durability of cast iron without the maintenance. Unlike cast iron, it does not require seasoning, is reactive to acidic ingredients, and is much easier to clean.
Yes, the All-Clad d7 skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and ensure the longevity of the stainless steel surface over time.
This skillet is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, making it versatile enough for searing on the stovetop and finishing dishes in the oven.
The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, because it is a metal handle, it will become hot if placed in the oven, so you should always use an oven mitt.
