LTD's deep black hard-anodized exterior and contrasting 18/10 stainless steel interior create a dramatic impression, even when you are not cooking. Handles, rivets and lids of polished stainless steel accentuate the precision craftsmanship that has become an All-Clad trademark. All-Clad's proprietary hard-anodizing process yields an outer surface that is durable and permanent. The 18/10 stainless steel interior is metal utensil safe, easy to clean, and non-reactive with foods. LTD 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.

LTD's patented three-ply design is composed of a brushed 18/10 stainless steel interior clad to a pure aluminum outer ply. The aluminum exterior is anodized to create a surface that will not scratch, chip or peel. The deep black appearance is a result of the anodizing process, which absorbs light, rather than the use of superficial pigmentation. Aluminum core distributes heat evenly.

At each stage of the manufacturing process, every piece of All-Clad cookware is hand-inspected to ensure that it maintains All-Clad quality standards. The signature stay-cool handle is cast from solid stainless steel, and is ergonomically-designed for comfort during long cooking sessions. Rivets are formed from high-yield-strength stainless steel, and treated to remove trace elements of iron that could otherwise cause corrosion. These painstaking efforts result in a finished cookware product that maintains the same integrity it was created with, even after a lifetime of service. At All-Clad, performance is paramount, and quality will never be compromised. These are the principles that have guided All-Clad from its inception. These are the edicts of the engineers and artisans whose passion and pride continue to turn cookware into heirlooms.

All-Clad's Limited (LTD) line features a dark, hard anodized aluminum exterior layer that won't scratch, peel or chip. The pure aluminum core not only covers the bottom of the pan, but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you will never have any "hot spots" when cooking. The stainless steel interior is stick resistant, and the polished stainless handles are secured with sturdy, non-corrosive rivets. Hand washing is recommended when cleaning All-Clad LTD cookware.
