All-Clad D5 Saucepan with Lid

Sturdy, high-performance saucepan that retains and distributes heat perfectly. Optimised to withstand the high heat of induction hobs, this warp-resistant pan is also oven-safe. It is made to last a lifetime. —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. The d5 range was designed with the high heat of induction hobs in mind, as its five layers of indestructible metal18/10 stainless steel exteriors, with two heavy-gauge layers of heat-responsive aluminium in the middle plus a core of stainless steelhelp prevent warping. This also results in excellent heat retention, so your food stays warm long after you take it off the hob. 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. Both the inner and outer parts of these pans are finished with brushed stainless steel which resists fingerprint marks.

—BENEFITS— The handle stays cool as I cook on the hob, and it feels very secure, especially with the bolster near the rivets (for extra balance).
