Same Performance Material, Different Kind of Heat
Graphite Changes the Game
From tennis raquets and golf clubs built for speed and control to electric vehicles and consumer electronics engineered to manage heat efficiently, graphite is chosen when performance matters.
All-Clad has been setting the standard in stainless steel cookware since 1971, and recognized an opportunity to innovate and enhance the performance of our five-layer construction by adding a graphite core. The result is remarkably lightweight cookware that heats quickly and evenly and responds rapidly to temperature changes, giving cooks greater control from the first sear through the finish.
Performance, Down to the Core
Innovation You Can See
Our graphite matrix surface showcases the patented G5® construction & becomes more visible as the pan heats.

"Everything about the G5 is awesome! I've never seen so much packaging! The quality is out of this world! I wish I had known previously how easy it is to cook with stainless steel!"

"Very happy with this graphite saucier. This pan is perfect weight, perfect heat distribution and fast clean up. Quickly becoming my go-to pan."
— Tony L., December 2024 -
"I own original All-Clad pots from over 20 years ago (gift from my husband) and absolutely love them. I added this to my collection because of the wider handles and the fact that graphite makes the pot lighter. I am happy to report that splurging on this pot was well worth it."

The graphite core spreads heat uniformly with no hot spots, for perfectly even browning and crisp searing. Thanks to its high efficiency, feel good about cooking with lower heat settings.
Lighter Weight Convenience
The pan's graphite core is even more conductive than copper but at a fraction of the weight - making it easier to flip foods and maneuver in the kitchen.
Rapid Heat-Up
Revolutionary, ultra-conductive graphite core saves time when preheating.
Comfortable, Contoured Handles
Ensures comfortable grip when handling.
Graphite Pattern
The distinctive pattern featured on the pan's surface showcases the breakthrough graphite technology.
Quick Cool-Down
The graphite core cools more quickly, making it easier to clean right after cooking.

FAQ
Does the graphite material go all the way up to the rim of the pan?
No, the graphite material is securely encapsulated into the core of the cooking surface, however, the other materials are fully bonded all the way to the rim.
What is the benefit of G5® Graphite Core cooling down so quickly?
Unlike most pans, you won’t need to wait for the pan to cool to start cleaning. The pan will be ‘cool to the touch’ very soon after use.
Can I cook as I normally do with other cookware?
G5® Graphite Core heats very quickly. We recommend using a lower heat setting than with traditional cookware and slightly lower than other All-Clad cookware.
Where is G5® Graphite Core Made?
G5® is proudly Bonded, Engineered, & Assembled in Canonsburg, PA – USA Since 1971
