All-Clad d5 Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Essential Cookware Set

The D5 Essentials: Fry Pans, a Sauce Pan, an Essential Pan and a Soup Pot

This All-Clad D5 10-piece set covers everyday cooking and entertaining: an 8-inch fry pan, a 10-inch fry pan with lid, a 3-quart sauce pan with lid, a 4-quart essential pan with lid, and an 8-quart soup pot with lid and a 14-inch ladle. D5's patented five-layer construction alternates stainless steel and aluminum for even heat and warp-free strength. Induction ready, oven and broiler safe to 600°F, bonded in the USA.

Why the D5 Essential Set

A set is only a deal if you use every piece. This one skips the filler and includes the pans that cover most weeknight cooking.

• The 4-quart essential pan. Deep enough for braises and one-pot pasta, wide enough to sear.
• An 8-quart soup pot with ladle. Soups, stocks and pasta for a crowd.
• 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.
• Oversized riveted handles. Double-riveted stainless handles give a secure grip, even with oven mitts.

D5 10-Piece Essential Set 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. 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.
