An 8-inch and a 10-inch pan in hard-anodized aluminum, with PTFE nonstick and an optimized stainless base that makes them work on induction. All-Clad rates them to 500°F, which is 100°F above the other nonstick pans here.
Why the stainless base matters
Aluminum alone does not respond to induction. The steel plate underneath is what puts this set on an induction range, and it also resists warping.
The fine print
The maker recommends a soap and sponge to preserve the coating, even though the pans are dishwasher safe. One line mentions glass lids while the included-components row says two fry pans, so check the buy box.
Where it sits
For a 12-inch surface on gas or electric, the Tramontina is cheaper and larger.

The questions that come in
Do these All-Clad pans come with lids?
The listing is unclear: the included components say 2 fry pans, while a bullet mentions tempered glass lids. Assume no lids unless the buy box says otherwise.
Are All-Clad HA1 pans made in the USA?
No. The listing says designed in Canonsburg, PA, and made in China. The D3 stainless pan is the All-Clad line made in the USA.
Our score
7.8/ 10
The nonstick pick for induction, if two smaller pans suit how you cook.
This one against the other cookware and knives
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for cookware and kitchen knives and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
OXO's 12-inch hard-anodized skillet with a PFAS-free, diamond-reinforced ceramic coating, oven safe to 430°F and dishwasher safe, at about $70. The listing never says whether it works on induction.
Best for: A gas or electric kitchen that wants a 12-inch coated pan without PTFE and finishes dishes in the oven
