    Why we chose it What put it on our list 5 points
    • All-Clad describes “tri-ply bonded construction” with an aluminum core and a stainless steel surface, and the bonding runs “all the way to the rim”. Nothing is coated.
    • Origin is stated: “Made in the USA with global components in our Pennsylvania Factory since 1971”.
    • Heat limits are written down: oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, and compatible with any stovetop including induction.
    • A limited lifetime warranty is stated on the product page, and the maker’s warranty page describes it as covering cookware and links the full terms as a PDF.
    • The price was $149.99 on All-Clad’s site on 2026-10-22, for the pan and a lid.
    Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy 4 points
    • The pages we read do not say which stainless steel grade touches the food, so we cannot say whether it is the 18/10 type. If you have a nickel allergy, ask All-Clad before buying.
    • It is hand wash only, according to the product page, and the care text warns against steel wool, oven cleaner and bleach.
    • The warranty covers defects in material, construction or workmanship for the original purchaser from All-Clad or an authorized retailer. Its PDF terms exclude dishwasher cleaning, soaking, thermal shock, high-heat warping and discoloration, and scratches.
    • All-Clad also sells non-stick lines. Check you are buying D3 Stainless, which is a separate line from D3 Everyday.
    What to know Details worth knowing first

    Stainless steel is the low-maintenance alternative to a coated pan, and a clad pan like this one adds an aluminum core so it heats evenly. The core sits between steel layers, and food touches the steel. That matters because our aluminum article advises against cooking acidic food in bare aluminum. Our cookware guide compares stainless with the other uncoated options.

    All-Clad is the American benchmark here, and it is one of the few makers that states where the pan is made and how hot it can go. What it does not say, on the pages we read, is the grade of the steel. That gap, and the fact that every claim here is All-Clad’s own, are what stop it scoring higher.

    It costs about three times the Tramontina pan. What the extra money buys is mostly origin, finish and long-term build, not a different cooking surface.
