Stainless Steel Fry Pan, 12-Inch, for All Users

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 has 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 flared rim of the cookware is designed for easy, dripless pouring.

This line also features newly-designed ergonomic handles that offer superb handling comfort and control. The skillet has sloping sides which make it easy to turn and remove foods, as well as encourage the rapid evaporation of moisture, so pan sauces reduce quickly and foods sear rather than steam. The non-stick skillet is ideal for searing delicate items which have a tendency to stick or break apart, such as fish, and for preparing pancakes, fried eggs, an omelette, or a crêpe.

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.
