All-Clad D5 Essential Pan

The five-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 superior warp resistance, keeping the pan flat on your stovetop even after years of high-heat use.

Yes, the D5 Essential Pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric ranges.

Like all high-quality stainless steel cookware, this pan is not non-stick. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan over medium heat and ensuring your oil or fat is shimmering before adding ingredients.

This pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it highly versatile for tasks that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as braising or roasting.

Yes, the 6-quart capacity is quite generous and well-suited for one-pan meals, large batches of soup, or braising proteins for a family. Its wide surface area also makes it excellent for searing multiple portions at once without overcrowding the pan.

The pan features oversized, double-riveted stainless steel handles designed for a secure and balanced grip. While the handles are sturdy, they are made of metal, so we recommend using an oven mitt when moving the pan from the oven or stovetop.
