Product Details
All-Clad is a pioneer of multi-ply cookware, in which metals are bonded together not just at the base but throughout the pan, providing effective, even heating without any hot spots. The d5 range was designed with induction hobs in mind, as its five layers of indestructible metal—18/10 stainless steel exteriors, with two heavy-gauge layers of heat-responsive aluminium in the middle plus a core of stainless steel—help prevent warping. This construction is especially useful in a non-stick pan, as the stainless steel layer helps diffuse the heat so it does not put too much stress on the coating. (For more on non-stick pan care, read our guide.) The pan also has a high-quality R3 non-stick coating that ensures effortless food release and easy clean-up, as well as up to 30% better scratch resistance. All pans in the d5 range have curved rims for drip-free pouring, as well as riveted handles that mould comfortably to an underhanded grip.

About The Brand
All-Clad
All-Clad was founded John Ulam, a renowned metallurgist whose inventions transformed the automobile, aerospace, and mint coin industries. An avid home cook, he applied his knowledge of bonding metals with very different properties, such as stainless steel and aluminium, together to make pans. The result was cookware that cooked food more evenly, was easy to clean, didn’t alter flavours, and didn’t tarnish or warp. So when All-Clad opened the doors to their Canonsburg, Pennsylvania factory in 1971, cookware was yet another industry he transformed.
