All-Clad Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Dutch Oven Overviews
All-Clad’s three-layer construction allows the pan to heat evenly all the way up the sides. Their Dutch ovens are wider than they are tall, to fit easily in the oven. Brown your meat and vegetables on the stovetop, add liquid to the pan and braise slowly in the oven for a flavorful, juicy stew.

All-Clad Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Dutch Oven Specifications
The bestseller among All-Clad’s renowned cookware collections, the Stainless 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 is a thick aluminum core that spreads heat evenly across the bottom of the pan and all the way up its sides. The interior is 18/10 stainless steel, highly polished so it’s stick- as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware’s lifetime warranty against defects–and beyond.
This 5-1/2-quart Dutch oven makes clear why All-Clad Stainless is so popular–it’s practical as well as beautiful. This pot is perfect for braising veal shanks, baking beans, or slow cooking choucroute under its domed lid. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly, even though the oven is 4-1/4 inches deep (10-3/4 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won’t taste metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won’t be harmed by an oven’s heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. –Fred Brack
From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature “stay-cool” long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.
Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:
- Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
- Pure aluminum core that 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 won’t have “hot spots” when cooking.
- Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
- Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
- Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won’t react with foods.
- Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
- The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
- The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.
Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.
Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Dutch Oven CustomerReview
Don’t let the price tag scare you – this pot will become one of the main tools in your kitchen. And you’ll be hooked and you’ll go back for more.
A few years ago I went to a famous kitchen store to purchase Le Creuset, but they were out of the size I wanted and the saleslady suggested this All Clad dutch oven. She said, “I’m waiting for my own Le Creuset to wear out so I can get one of these.”
I took her advice, and I use this pot ALL THE TIME. At least once a week I use it to roast a whole chicken in the oven. I use it for spaghetti, casseroles, soup, jambalaya – anything. It works equally well in the oven or on the stove top. It’s easy to clean – even oven-baked-on food comes off with a little soaking and a scrubber sponge.
I don’t have a lot of money but I considered this a lifetime investment that was worth every penny. I am so sick of the cheap and flimsy Chinese products that have saturated the market. It is SO refreshing to find cookware that is so well made, so versatile, and so good looking, too. I eventually purchased the 13″ braiser which I also use all the time. It’s a good complement to the dutch oven.
If you’re thinking of getting one of these, just do it!
This All-Clad Dutch Oven Is Beautiful! It cooks well and looks great. – Bold Consumer – USA
I love this dutch oven! It’s my favorite brand, All-Clad, it’s beautiful, and does a great job. I recommend it.
Only one problem. My son keeps borrowing it for parties and I’m afraid I may not see it again unless I buy one for him.
Excellent gift – K. Dana – Cloverdale, CA
I gave this as a gift, it is just the right size for cooking for 2. It was very appreciated!
Stainless Steel or Mystery Metal – Michael D. Kent – Red Wing, Mn
My wife has been slowly replacing all our kitchen cookware over the last couple of years. She performs hours of research looking for cookware that last. We are replacing a set of Revere cookware that she bought in college over twenty years ago. We have a small All Clad sauce pan from the same line as the Dutch oven we purchased, and we love it. Cleans up very easy and looks great. The Revere cookware being replaced still looks fairly decent. She registered for the All Clad Dutch oven on Amazon. I purchased this along with a Le Crueset Stock Pot.
We are very happy with Le Crueset stock pot, but the Dutch oven has not faired so well. We read the literature that came with the Dutch oven on proper use, and have adhered to all of the literatures do’s and don’ts to no avail. The outside always stays spotty, even with hand drying. The inside HAS reacted with the food and is discolored. It can be cleaned with a lot of work.
In the end I would not recommend this product. I will be pursuing returning this product.
