Is this pan worth it over a cheaper stainless skillet?

If you cook on induction or move pans into a hot oven, the bonded three-ply build and 600°F rating justify the price. A cheaper disc-bottom pan will heat less evenly and may not be broiler safe.

How does D3 compare with All-Clad's D5 or Copper Core?

D3 has three layers and heats quickly; D5 adds two more layers for more thermal mass and slower, steadier heat, at higher cost and weight. Copper Core adds a copper layer for faster response, again at a premium.

Will food stick to it?

Yes, if you treat it like nonstick. Preheat the dry pan, add oil, and let food release on its own; with that method, searing and pan sauces work well, but eggs need plenty of fat.

Is it really oven safe to 600°F?

Yes, the pan and lid are rated oven and broiler safe to 600°F. Use oven mitts, since the stainless handle conducts heat.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

It is dishwasher safe, but All-Clad recommends handwashing. Dishwasher detergent can dull the finish and leave water spots, so most owners wash by hand.

What comes in the box?

The 12-inch D3 frying pan and its matching lid. No other accessories are included.

Our take on the All-Clad 12-Inch D3 Stainless Steel Frying Pan With Lid

The All-Clad D3 12-inch frying pan is a three-ply stainless steel skillet: a bonded aluminum core between two layers of stainless, which gives fast, even heat and no coating to wear out. It is oven and broiler safe to 600°F, works on induction and every other stovetop, and comes with a matching lid that turns it into a covered braiser for larger cuts and one-pan meals. At 12 inches across and about 3.7 inches deep, it is a big pan that suits family-sized searing and saucing. All-Clad's D3 line is the brand's long-running entry tier, and this size with a lid typically sits in the middle of the D3 range.
