Why this gift works
The All-Clad D3 10-Inch Fry Pan (4110) is tri-ply bonded stainless steel with an aluminum core, a double-riveted stainless handle and a 10-inch diameter. It works on induction, is oven and broiler safe to 600 F, is made in the USA with global components, and carries All-Clad's limited lifetime warranty; All-Clad's page says hand wash.
At 30, the scratched nonstick from the first apartment is due for retirement. A stainless skillet that sears, deglazes and goes into the oven is a lifetime piece.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Home cooks upgrading
- New homeowners
- A 30th birthday splurge
Think twice if
- They want nonstick
- They use the dishwasher for everything
The catch
Uncoated stainless sticks unless the pan is preheated and oiled properly; no lid is included; All-Clad's page says hand wash only; and it is pricey for one pan.
Skip for someone who only cooks eggs and wants nonstick.
