Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum to eliminate hot spots and ensure consistent heat distribution across the entire pan. This design also provides structural integrity, making the pan highly resistant to warping even under high heat.
Yes, the All-Clad D5 is fully compatible with all cooktop types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic.
No, this saucepan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the brushed stainless steel, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use.
This saucepan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
No, this is a traditional stainless steel saucepan without any non-stick coating. It features a non-reactive stainless steel cooking surface, which is ideal for browning, deglazing, and making pan sauces.
The pan features riveted stainless steel handles designed for a secure, permanent grip. While they are durable and heat-resistant on the stovetop, they can get hot during extended oven use, so we recommend using oven mitts.
