All-Clad D5 Stainless Steel 1/2 Quart Butter Warmer

A Half-Quart D5 Butter Warmer With a Pouring Rim

The All-Clad D5 1/2-quart butter warmer has high, straight sides that hold heat and limit evaporation, and a flared rim for easy pouring. Melt butter, warm syrup or a small batch of sauce. Five bonded layers give even heat in a small pan. Oven and broiler safe to 600°F, induction ready, made in the USA. Sold without a lid.

Why a Butter Warmer

Melting butter or warming a few ounces of sauce in a full-size pan wastes heat and burns the edges. A small, heavy pan does it evenly.

• High, straight sides. Hold heat and limit evaporation.
• Flared rim. Pours melted butter and sauces cleanly.
• 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.
• Riveted stainless handle. A secure grip that stays cool on the cooktop.

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.
