All-Clad marries their superior cooking technology with a classic black finish in their LTD line of cookware. One of their largest lines, the LTD cookware's exterior is made of a black hard-anodized aluminum that is resistant to peeling, chipping, or scratching. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior is nonreactive - meaning you will be left with nothing but the flavor of the food - and it is an easy-to-clean surface. But beneath this sleek black exterior is an inner core of aluminum that bonds these two layers and provides superior heat conductivity. It heats quickly and evenly, eliminating "hot spots." Certain key pieces in the LTD collection are available with a nonstick interior. The nonstick coating from All-Clad won't peel or chip and reduces your dependence on oils promoting healthier cooking and faster cleanup. All of the lids, rivets, and handles in All-Clad's LTD line are made of 18/10 stainless steel. The handles are ergonomically designed for easy use and to remain cool over heat. The lids fit pots tightly locking in both flavor and heat. All-Clad cookware is designed to the highest specifications and is meant to last a lifetime. Do you have mom's recipes? Or maybe you prefer haute cuisine? Are you a wiz in the kitchen or do you have a hard time boiling water? Whatever the case may be the frying pan is a cornerstone of every chef's selection of tools. You can use it to fry eggs, saute spinach in olive oil, or sear fois gras to perfection. But whatever you fancy you need a good frying pan and this is it. All-Clad has a large selection of pots and pan - some have copper cores, some are aluminum clad with a stainless steel exterior and others have an all copper core - but they are all built to the same demanding standards so that you can be at your best in the kitchen.
