All Clad D5 8-qt polished Nonstick Stock Pot

An 8-Quart D5 Stock Pot With High Sides for Soups and Stews

This All-Clad D5 8-quart stock pot has high sides and a wide base, the shape for soups, stews and stocks. D5's five bonded layers of stainless steel and aluminum give warp-free strength and even heat from the base up the sides. Oven and broiler safe to 600°F, optimized for induction, made in the USA.

Why an 8-Quart Pot

Big batches of soup scorch in a thin pot because the bottom runs hotter than the sides. A fully bonded D5 pot heats evenly, so you can sauté in it first and then simmer for hours.

• Sauté first, then simmer. The wide base browns aromatics before the liquid goes in.
• Five layers, alternating stainless and aluminum. All-Clad's patented D5 construction bonds three layers of stainless steel with two layers of aluminum. The stainless core spreads heat more gradually, which All-Clad says evens out hot spots.
• An 18/10 stainless cooking surface. The polished interior sears well, is ideal for deglazing and does not react with acidic foods.
• Works on every cooktop, including induction. The magnetic stainless exterior works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
• Oven and broiler safe to 600°F. Move from burner to oven without switching pans.
• Flared rims pour clean. The rims are shaped for drip-free pouring, and capacity is engraved on the base.

D5 8-Qt Stock Pot Specifications

Condition: new and never used, sold as open stock. It ships in a plain, non-retail carton with the All-Clad warranty card, and may show light superficial marks on up to 1% of the exterior that do not affect cooking. Light marks may also appear on the interior. Capital Cookware is an authorized All-Clad dealer and buys its inventory directly from All-Clad.

Use and Care

The short version. The All-Clad use and care guide has the full details.

1. Preheat, then add fat. Heat the empty pan over medium for a minute or two, then add oil or butter. Stainless releases food far better once it is hot.
2. Stay at medium. Bonded cookware spreads heat well, so medium does the work high heat does on a thinner pan. Save high heat for boiling water.
3. Let food release. Proteins stick at first and let go once a crust forms. Wait for that before you turn them.
4. Cool, then clean. Let the pan cool before it meets water. Wash with warm soapy water, and use a fine powdered cleanser and a nylon pad for stuck food or rainbow tint. Skip steel wool and bleach.
