Two hard-anodized pans with a stainless base for induction, rated to 500°F, the highest oven limit on this shelf.

What you are getting

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.

What we rate, and what we do not

Strengths

  • Induction ready, unlike the other nonstick pans here
  • A 500°F oven limit
  • Names its coating: PTFE

Compromises

  • No 12-inch pan in the set
  • The listing mentions glass lids, but the set is described as two fry pans; check what ships
  • Made in China under a Pennsylvania brand

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.
