All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel Fry Pan (12")
The All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel 12-Inch Fry Pan represents the pinnacle of American cookware craftsmanship. Engineered and assembled in Pennsylvania since 1971, this tri-ply pan bonds two layers of durable stainless steel around a responsive aluminum core for exceptional heat distribution and retention. The 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface is nonreactive, won't absorb flavors, and develops a fond that deglazes into perfect pan sauces. Oven and broiler safe to 600°F and compatible with all cooktops including induction.
Why We Love It
Stainless steel is the workhorse of professional kitchens for good reason: it sears beautifully, handles high heat without damage, and produces fond—those caramelized bits that make pan sauces incredible. The All-Clad D3 is the gold standard: tri-ply construction means no hot spots, and the lifetime warranty means this is the last stainless pan you'll ever buy. Yes, food can stick if you don't use proper technique, but that's a feature, not a bug—it's what creates flavor.
