D3 Stainless 3-Ply Bonded Fry Pan
The All-Clad D3 is the gold standard for non-toxic, high-performance cooking. Its 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface is completely inert and does not leach chemicals into food, unlike non-stick alternatives.
Quality & Materials
Uses high-quality 18/10 stainless steel (304 grade) for the cooking surface, which is highly resistant to corrosion and acid leaching. The core is high-grade aluminum for conductivity, fully encapsulated by steel.
Evidence & Testing
All-Clad products are manufactured in Canonsburg, PA, using US-sourced steel. They meet all FDA and international standards for food contact safety without the use of PFOA, PFAS, or PTFE.
Brand Transparency
While they don't publish batch-specific COAs like supplement companies, their metallurgical standards and domestic manufacturing are well-documented and industry-leading.
Value Assessment
High upfront cost ($100-$160), but the 'cost per use' is exceptionally low as the pan is designed to last decades, unlike non-stick pans that require replacement every 2-3 years.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike 'ceramic' pans that use sol-gel coatings which degrade quickly, or cheap stainless steel that may use lower-grade alloys, the D3 offers a lifetime of service with superior heat distribution and material stability.
