All-Clad D5 Polished Pro Fry Pan

The 5-ply construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum to eliminate hot spots and prevent warping. This ensures consistent, even heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan, which is essential for uniform searing and browning.

While the pan features enhanced scratch resistance, we recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to prolong the life of the nonstick coating. Metal tools can eventually cause micro-scratches that may degrade the release properties over time.

Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes it an excellent choice for recipes that require starting on the stovetop for a sear and finishing in the oven to cook through.

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 used in the oven, so you should always use an oven mitt.

Yes, the D5 Polished Pro is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. The magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures it works efficiently with induction burners.

Hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is the best way to preserve the nonstick surface. While the pan is durable, avoiding the dishwasher will help prevent the coating from wearing down prematurely.
