- Classic slope-sided, 12-inch, 2-inch-deep frying pan
- Three-ply: stainless-steel layers sandwich pure aluminum core for even heating
- Long, comfortable, stay-cool handle riveted for strength
- Dishwasher safe, but hand washing recommended
- Lifetime warranty against defects
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. --Fred Brack
From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core. Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:
- Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
- Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
- Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
- Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
- Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
- Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
- The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
- The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.
Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

Excellent heat distribution. Handle stays cool. No burns of food or skin, and no excuse to not make a delicious meal.

I'm really pleased with the pan and would happily order another one in a different size.

I bought this pan for two reasons.
1. The Cuisinart Multiclad Pro 12 inch skillet I've been wanting seems to no longer exist.
2. America's test kitchen recommended this pan highly.
Pros:
1. The size is great. I feel that it really holds my food well without crowding it.
2. The shape is great and allows for easy flipping and such.
3. It heats evenly.
4. It's light and I didn't feel it needed a helper handle as some skillets this size do.
Cons:
1. The handle design. I really prefer the gentler handle design on the Cuisinart MCP pans. They simply feel better in the hand. However, it's not terrible and the handle does stay cool. I really liked the price of this pan as well as availability. As expected from the All-Clad brand, it is a very good pan. Nothing burned in my pan... not even cheese when I was making tasty cheesy potatoes and let it cook a bit. It was super easy to clean. There was a little sticking of those tasty cheesy potatoes... but when you cook them awhile, that's to be expected at least a little... but it cleaned very easily. This pan is awesome and I would recommend it as a great pan whether you just want a 12" skillet or if you need an alternative to the ever elusive Cuisinart Multiclad Pro 12" skillet.

Although many people have written many good comments about All-Clad, I don't think that I should keep silent,either. We are family of three,love to eat hot and spicy Chinese stir fry. I dial my Bosch electric range to no.6, preheat about 2 minutes, pour "cold oil" into the pan, wait until I can the 'heat wave' in the pan, then dump meat or veggi to it, 3~4 minutes later,a yummy dish has done. Besides egg and hush brown, I hardly have 'sticky' pan problem. After many practices lately, 8 out 10,I can make non-stick egg now. Thanks many user's comments. I am very happy to made a right choice and also changed my view to USA made products.
