The All-Clad BD55406 D5 Brushed Stainless Steel Saute Pan is a professional-grade, 5-ply bonded saute pan with a 6-quart capacity and a stainless steel lid, designed for high-heat searing, pan sauces, braising, and large-batch stovetop-to-oven cooking. The D5 construction layers two sheets of stainless steel around two sheets of aluminum and a stainless core, delivering steady, even heat from rim to rim without hot spots. This pan is also referred to as the All-Clad D5 Brushed 6-Qt saute pan, 5-ply stainless saute pan with lid, or the BD55406 saute pan, and is well suited to home cooks and culinary professionals who demand precise heat control in a durable, uncoated stainless pan.
What's In The Box▼
All-Clad BD55406 D5 6-Qt Saute Pan — Complete Piece List
This set includes one All-Clad D5 Brushed Stainless Steel 6-quart saute pan and one matching stainless steel lid, for a total of 2 pieces. The wide, flat cooking surface and straight sides of the 6-qt saute pan make it one of the most versatile pieces in the D5 Brushed lineup.
All-Clad D5 Brushed 5-Ply Stainless Steel Construction
The All-Clad BD55406 features a 5-ply fully clad construction — 18/10 stainless exterior, two aluminum layers for rapid and even heat conduction, and a stainless steel cooking surface with no nonstick coating. The brushed exterior finish resists scratching and surface marks during everyday use.
Induction Compatible Saute Pan — All Stovetop Types
The All-Clad D5 Brushed BD55406 saute pan is compatible with all stovetop types including induction, gas, electric coil, ceramic, and halogen. Its magnetic stainless steel base ensures full induction compatibility, and the pan transitions seamlessly from stovetop to oven up to 600°F.
All-Clad D5 Care, Cleaning, and Lifetime Warranty
The All-Clad BD55406 is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the brushed finish over time. All-Clad's limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship, and this pan is manufactured in the USA at All-Clad's Canonsburg, Pennsylvania facility.
Cookware Performance & Features▼
The All-Clad BD55406 D5 Brushed Stainless Steel 6-Qt Saute Pan is built around All-Clad's 5-ply fully clad bonded construction, which bonds five alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminum across the entire pan — not just at the base — to deliver consistent, warp-resistant heat performance at high temperatures. Because the D5 Brushed uses a pure stainless cooking surface rather than a nonstick coating, it develops fond naturally, making it especially well suited to building pan sauces, searing proteins, and sauteing vegetables at high heat.
The helper handle on the opposite side of the main long handle makes maneuvering the full 6-quart capacity safe and ergonomic, and both handles are secured with stainless rivets for long-term structural integrity. The stainless steel lid fits flush to the straight sides of the pan and is oven safe to the same 600°F rating as the pan itself.
-
5-Ply Fully Clad Construction: Heat distributes evenly across the entire cooking surface, eliminating hot spots common in disc-bottom pans.
-
Uncoated 18/10 Stainless Cooking Surface: Develops natural fond for pan sauces; no nonstick coating to degrade over time.
-
Brushed Exterior Finish: Resists fingerprints and surface scratches more effectively than a polished finish.
-
Riveted Long Handle + Helper Handle: Provides secure, two-handed control when transporting a full 6-quart pan from stovetop to oven.
-
Tight-Fitting Stainless Lid: Traps moisture and heat for braising and simmering applications.
-
Warp-Resistant Base: The 5-ply bonded construction maintains a flat base even under high heat cycling over years of use.
Stovetop & Oven Compatibility▼
The All-Clad BD55406 D5 Brushed 6-Qt Saute Pan is compatible with every major residential and professional stovetop type. Its magnetic stainless steel exterior enables full induction compatibility, while the fully clad 5-ply construction performs consistently on gas, electric coil, ceramic glass, and halogen cooktops. Both the pan and the stainless steel lid are oven safe up to 600°F, allowing direct transitions from stovetop browning to oven finishing without switching vessels.
-
Induction: Yes — magnetic stainless exterior is fully induction compatible.
-
Gas: Yes — performs on open flame burners of all sizes.
-
Electric Coil: Yes — even heat distribution compensates for coil inconsistencies.
-
Ceramic Glass: Yes — flat, warp-resistant base maintains full contact.
-
Halogen: Yes — compatible with halogen cooktops.
-
Oven Safe (Pan): Up to 600°F.
-
Oven Safe (Lid): Up to 600°F (stainless steel lid).
-
Broiler: Not recommended — high direct broiler heat may discolor the brushed stainless finish.
Note: The All-Clad D5 BD55406 is not recommended for use on outdoor grills or open campfire grates, as uncontrolled heat exposure may affect the bonded layers over time.
Frequently Asked Questions▼
Is the All-Clad D5 Brushed BD55406 saute pan induction compatible?
Yes. The All-Clad BD55406 D5 Brushed Stainless Steel 6-Qt Saute Pan is fully induction compatible. The magnetic 18/10 stainless steel exterior bonds directly to the cooktop surface on induction burners, delivering the same responsive heat performance as on gas or electric stovetops.
What is the difference between the All-Clad D5 Brushed and All-Clad D3 saute pans?
The All-Clad D5 Brushed BD55406 uses a 5-ply construction (alternating stainless and aluminum layers with a stainless core), while the D3 uses a 3-ply construction (stainless-aluminum-stainless). The additional aluminum layers in the D5 slow the rate of heat change, giving the D5 more even, consistent heat distribution and better performance for low-and-slow cooking, while the D3 heats more quickly and is more responsive to temperature changes.
What is the oven safe temperature for the All-Clad D5 BD55406 6-Qt Saute Pan and lid?
Both the All-Clad D5 Brushed BD55406 saute pan and its stainless steel lid are oven safe up to 600°F. This makes the set suitable for high-heat oven applications including braising, roasting, and finishing seared proteins, without needing to transfer to a separate roasting vessel.
Is the All-Clad D5 Brushed BD55406 saute pan dishwasher safe?
Yes, the All-Clad BD55406 D5 Brushed Saute Pan is dishwasher safe. However, All-Clad recommends hand washing with warm soapy water to preserve the brushed exterior finish and extend the life of the pan's appearance. Repeated dishwasher cycles may dull the brushed stainless surface over time, though they will not affect cooking performance or structural integrity.
