All-Clad is known for its name. Why? It’s a brand of cookware that uses fully clad technology. This means the entire body of the pan, not just the bottom, is made of bonded layers of aluminum and stainless steel.

In my time cooking in commercial kitchens, I’ve been able to get my hands on plenty of All-Clad products. They are seriously worth the hype. They cook evenly and allow food to slide right off the pan. This is the strongest, longest-lasting cookware you’re going to find. All-clad believes this too, which is why all of their products come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Before we dive into the product reviews, let’s see the other amazing reasons to go with All-Clad.

All-Clad: Crafting Culinary Perfection

The Pinnacle of Nonstick Coating: PFOA and PTFE-Free

Nonstick is what we’re all here for and All-Clad’s state-of-the-art nonstick coating is both PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) free. This commitment to safety ensures that your cooking experience is not only convenient but also free from potentially harmful chemicals. PFOA, in particular, has raised environmental and health concerns, and All-Clad's move to exclude it demonstrates a dedication to both the user and the planet.

Durable Construction: Layers of Stainless Steel and Aluminum

The construction of All-Clad nonstick cookware involves the fusion of multiple layers of stainless steel and aluminum. This marriage of materials combines the durability of stainless steel with the exceptional heat conductivity of aluminum. The result is cookware that heats up quickly, distributes heat evenly, and withstands the rigors of daily cooking.

Handles Crafted for Comfort and Control

The handles on All-Clad nonstick cookware are designed with both comfort and control in mind. Crafted from stainless steel, these handles stay cool on the stovetop, preventing unnecessary burns and ensuring a secure grip. The ergonomic design adds a touch of sophistication to the cookware while enhancing the overall cooking experience.

Oven-Safe Versatility: A True Kitchen Companion

All-Clad nonstick cookware is not confined to the stovetop—it seamlessly transitions from the cooktop to the oven. This versatility opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to start a dish on the stove and finish it in the oven. The cookware's ability to withstand high temperatures makes it a true kitchen workhorse.

Rivets and Cooking Surfaces: The Finishing Touches

If you’ve gone through some cookware in your time, you’ll notice the first thing to start going bad – handles. Handles on pans get loose, rusted, and sometimes just fall right off. With All-Clad, you'll notice the secure attachment of handles through stainless-steel rivets. This construction ensures the longevity of your cookware.
