What Does 5 Ply Mean?

When shopping for cookware, you may often come across the term "ply." This refers to layers of metal used to construct the bottom or entirety of the pot or pan. This means 5 ply All Clad cookware has five layers of metal to enhance your cooking.

• The main reason for layering metal is to include the best properties of each type. For instance, All Clad bonds stainless steel to an aluminum core. Other metals, like hard-anodized aluminum may assist in heat conduction.
• The starting point for multi-ply cookware is usually 3 ply or tri-ply. Three layers of metal allow for greater heat distribution and retention, plus great durability over time.
• When you choose 5 ply All Clad cookware, the characteristics of ply cookware are increased by the additional layers. Expect a much lower chance of warping with years of use, plus the immediate benefits of superior heat distribution for an excellent cooking experience.
