All-Clad LTD2 3 Qt. Saute Pan with Lid - LD3403

A revolutionary exterior coating technology allows LTD2 to endure the harshness of daily dishwasher use while maintaining its dramatic hard-anodized satin-black appearance. LTD2 has five alternating layers of precisely formulated stainless steel and aluminum; this is two additional layers over the original LTD collection. All-Clad's patented 5-ply construction is unique in the industry, and cannot be replicated by any other cookware manufacturer. LTD2 is the ideal selection for professional chefs or gourmet home cooks who look for unique styling, as well as professional quality, in their cookware collection.

Ideal for sautéing, frying and searing, the high-sided sauté pan is also useful in cooking fresh pasta sauces, and any dish that requires liquid added to sautéed ingredients. This multi-functional kitchen helper makes cooking your favorite meals easier than ever.

LTD2 builds upon the patented 3-ply design of the original LTD collection, expanding to a 5-ply design. Each piece is composed of a brushed 18/10 stainless steel interior layer, alternating stainless and aluminum layers, and a pure aluminum outer ply. The aluminum exterior is anodized to create a surface that will not scratch, chip or peel to keep your cookware looking great, and new technology makes it dishwasher safe as well! The aluminum layers allow heat to pass through easily, while the stainless steel layers force the heat to move laterally. This produces even heat at the cooking surface, eliminating hot spots and preventing food from sticking or burning.
