The 2-in-1 All-Clad Pan You’ll Actually Use for Everything (It’s on Sale!)

Kitchen storage is a hot commodity. As someone who’s been dealt one tiny kitchen after another, I’m familiar with the struggle of not having enough space for all of my tools and gear. In my first New York City apartment, I had a grand total of two overhead cabinets. They became my pantry, so stowing away my cookware was out of the question. Sadly, so was buying any extra pots and pans that weren’t absolutely necessary. My only option was to keep my single saucepan and fry pan on my stovetop permanently.

The moral of the story: If you’re short on storage, you have to be strategic about what cookware you buy. You need a pan that can do it all in order to save as much space as possible. Luckily, I just found one such versatile gem from All-Clad, and not only does it function as two pans in one, but it will also last a lifetime. I have no doubt that the D3 Weeknight Pan will quickly become the most-used item in your kitchen — and it’s 10% off right now.

All-Clad is beloved by home cooks, pro chefs, and my Kitchn teammates for a reason. If you take care of them properly, the brand’s pieces will withstand the test of time. Just ask Meghan, our former food editor, whose All-Clad collection began nearly two decades ago and is holding up beautifully. The entry-level D3 line is a particularly good choice if you’re new to the brand — or if you want a piece of cookware that’s straightforward, yet impressive. With its aluminum layer sandwiched between stainless steel, it offers the classic, durable, and heat-conductive construction that All-Clad is known for.

This pan has even more features that put it above the rest. Its lid, shape, and four-quart capacity make it ideal for large, one-pot meals, and it combines the benefits of a sauté pan and a saucier, which saves you a ton of space. The rounded walls and wider mouth make stirring a breeze, and the material is also safe to put in the oven, as long as it’s 600°F and under. Hand-washing is recommended, but numerous five-star reviews say it’s shockingly easy to clean. When you consider all of that, it’s really no wonder that it’s called the Weeknight Pan. You’ll definitely use it every day, if not multiple times a day.

Average Rating: 4.7/5

“Excellent. So much more than I was expecting. It’s lighter than I thought it would be — especially the lid. The handle is comfortable and it cleans up super easy. The best part is how evenly it heats — especially on an induction cooktop. Temperature control is great.” —Skuli

“This is one of my new favorite pans in my rotation. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality pan. It’s durable, heats evenly, and is big enough to use for a variety of meals. I have also found it easy to clean, which I was skeptical of coming into getting it.” —Cubs2244

“I have been using this to cook large meals when I prep for the week. I am still getting used to cooking with stainless, but I have found this easy to use and simple to clean. It does a great job of holding a big amount of food and lets me avoid using several pots and pans. I am a huge fan.” —Kevjack123

When it comes to All-Clad, the “you get what you pay for” saying is 100% true. Although the steeper price tag can be a little difficult to stomach at first, you won’t have to worry about replacing it a year or two down the line, like you would with most under-$50 options. Given how often you’ll use the Weeknight Pan, it’ll pay for itself in no time.
