All-Clad Gourmet Specialties Cookware has a sleek modern appearancewith a dark colored, anodized aluminum exterior. This is an exceptionally hard surface which has superior heating properties and will not scratch, chip or peel. Through All-Clad's unique bonding process, this exterior is combined with a non stick interior and a thick aluminum core - that extends up the sides to the top of the pan, ensuring rapid, even heating.
This cookware is not recommended for dishwasher use. For best results, use medium to low heat and utensils of plastic, rubber or wood.
All-Clad is renowned for using American-made metals to make handcrafted bonded cookware in the tradition that established a new benchmark for professional bonded cookware. At each stage of the manufacturing process, every piece of All-Clad bonded cookware is hand-inspected to ensure that it maintains All-Clad quality standards. This extreme scrutiny slows the production process, but guarantees that every piece of bonded cookware that leaves the Pennsylvania rolling mill preserves the reputation that precedes it.
Every detail receives critical attention. The signature stay-cool handle is cast from solid stainless steel, and is ergonomically-designed for comfort during long cooking sessions. Rivets are formed from high-yield-strength stainless steel, and treated to remove trace elements of iron that could otherwise cause corrosion. These painstaking efforts result in a finished bonded cookware product that maintains the same integrity it was created with, even after a lifetime of service.
