All-Clad d5 Non-Stick Frying Pan

Sturdy, high-performance frying pan that retains and distributes heat perfectly, with three layers of PFOA-free non-stick coating. ---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 .) 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.

---BENEFITS--- ‘Clean-up is so simple that it probably takes less effort to wash this pan by hand than it does to find space for it in the dishwasher, where harsh detergents could weaken the coating.’
