Layer of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to interior
Long, comfortable, stay-cool handle riveted for strength
Editorial Review:
Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior, the LTD 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 the exterior and the interior 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 striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick coating bonded to the steel.
This classic, slope-sided fry pan exemplifies why All-Clad's LTD cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. It's 7 inches in diameter--perfect for sautéing a salmon fillet or conjuring up a quick broth-based sauce--and the nonstick coating allows you to cook with little or no fat for a healthful meal. Because the interior is nonreactive, acidic foods won't taste metallic. 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 heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
