All-Clad Stainless Steel Fry Pan, 12-Inch

Originally designed to meet the demands of professional chefs, All-Clad continues to be the undisputed choice in four-star kitchens throughout the world. The cookware features exquisite lines, impeccable balance, meticulous hand-finishing, and superior heat-conductivity. Stainless with d5 technology, the latest line from All-Clad, now delivers unprecedented evenness of heat for uniform browning.

This cookware boasts five layers of metal (alternating bands of aluminum and stainless steel) - this construction not only heats more evenly, but more quickly and retains heat longer to make the cookware more energy efficient, and more durable. There are two aluminum layers, one to conduct and one to sustain heat. The stainless-steel core diffuses heat and delivers consistent results. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless steel exterior has a polished finish and can be safely used on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as on induction cooktops.

The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, so it's stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops, and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.

This classic, slope-sided fry pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless line is so popular. It's 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home where big meals are prepared. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended.

All-Clad Stainless cookware is designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops. It features beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer, a pure aluminum core that covers the bottom and extends up the sides for great heat conductivity and even heat distribution, and a stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface. The long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles and sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets add to the durability and functionality of this cookware.

The All-Clad Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface. For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, cleaning with a product called Bar Keepers Friend is recommended. This can be used on the interior and exterior of the cookware, except for the Cop-R-Chef exterior, which requires a brass/copper cleaner.

In recent years, the Stainless line has expanded to include a professional-size 14-inch fry pan, as well as several popular specialty pans, such as the petite brasier, petite roti roasting pan, Dutch oven, and French oven oval roasting pan. The collection also features a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans, a flare-sided Windsor pan, a contemporary "Soup for Two" pot, and a "Pasta Pentola" stockpot with colander insert and lid. Stainless cookware sets are available in various sizes, from a starter 5-piece to a complete 10-piece set.
