The “Excellent in Every Way” All-Clad Pan You’ll Reach for Every Single Day Is $120 Off — But Only for a Limited Time

If there’s one bad thing about summer (besides the sweltering heat), it’s that you might’ve felt forced to enjoy nature and social outings. But fall is basically here, meaning it’s time to hunker down and unwind in the comfort of your home. That might entail streaming your favorite shows on the couch, reorganizing your pantry, or partaking in more home baking and cooking. For the latter, you’ll want to make sure your cupboards are stocked with the best cookware. No matter what you need, All-Clad is the place to go. Not only does the brand make chef-worthy cookware of almost every variety, but it also frequently offers discounts on its bestsellers. There’s currently a huge markdown to take advantage of: the All-Clad D5 Stainless Essential Pan in the 4-quart size. This pan is good for, well, everything, so you’ll definitely appreciate the $120 discount. You might even find that you don’t need any other pieces of cookware once you own it.

The most important feature of the Essential Pan is its material. This pick is made from D5 stainless steel, which is known for its superior durability, warp resistance, and heat diffusion capabilities. The material has five alternating layers of aluminum and stainless steel, so it also conducts heat like a pro. We also can’t get over the lidded pan’s unique design. It has a wide surface, like a frying pan, coupled with tall, curved sides that help prevent splatter and allow for easy stirring and scooping. And you’ll find the 4-quart size to be just big enough for kitchens with limited storage space but still good for preparing family-size meals. As its name implies, this cookware staple can be used as a brasier, frying pan, sauté pan, deep fryer, and even a vessel for reheating leftovers. That’s right — the Essential Pan is oven-safe up to 600°F! The All-Clad bestseller really does it all.

Average Rating: 4.7/5

“This is one incredibly beautiful pan that I simply had to have after seeing it on display at Williams Sonoma. It’s perfect for so many different cooking tasks. I’ve used it for deep and shallow frying, whisking together sauces, tossing it in the oven, and even boiling certain foods. The Essential Pan is a workhorse, and it is quickly becoming a go-to in my kitchen.” — Will G.

“Nicely weighted, generous size, absolutely gorgeous pot! We sauté veggies every day; this pot is perfectly family-sized. Easy to restore to its nice shiny state. Not sure how we got by without it.” — Minz

“Good heat control, good for carbonara and sauces. Also great for one-pot meals. I am a messy cook, and the size allows me to rush around the kitchen and stir quickly without spilling. It’s a pretty heavy pan, so it won’t be easy to pour from. Great for soups, sauces, whisking, and most kitchen tasks.” — Patrick O.

All-Clad discounts vary; some items get marked down a small amount, like $15 to $20. But now that the Essential Pan is a whopping $120 off, there’s no better time to buy one. It’s perfect for fall cooking — but then again, it’s perfect for all-season cooking.
