| Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal black, hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. This round paella pan makes clear why All-Clad's LTD cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. It's 13 inches in diameter and 2-1/4 inches deep, has a perfect lid for cooking paella, and possesses a beauty that makes it ideal for serving. It's equally useful for braising lamb shanks, quickly reducing a large batch of sauce or broth, or tossing rigatoni with ragu Bolognese and bringing it triumphantly to the table. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handles are riveted to the pan for strength and stay cool on the stovetop, but they won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack |
