Offering maximum efficiency through modern technology, the d5 line from All-Clad bonds five distinct layers in a perfect harmony of cooking performance. The pan features a patented, three-layer aluminum and steel core that propels heat sideways, eliminating hot spots and driving through the entire pan, not just the base. Designed for cooking at higher heat with oil to create full flavor, color and crispy texture, the pan also feature three layers of PFOA-free nonstick coating to ensure effortless food release and easy cleanup. The pan is designed with flared sides for easy pouring and riveted stainless steel handles for comfortable maneuvering.
