Sauté pan

A sauté pan is the kitchen all-rounder. High walls, a deep body and endlessly versatile. At Cook & Pan you will find sauté pans for curries, shakshuka, paella and everything in between. All induction-ready and PFAS-free.

Which sauté pan suits you?

Not every sauté pan is the same. Pick the version that fits your cooking style:

• Sauté pan for induction: flat, magnetic base, quick to heat, works on every hob.
• Sauté pan without PFAS: cooking without PFAS, PFOA or PTFE.
• Ceramic sauté pan: aluminium body with a ceramic non-stick coating, smooth surface and easy to clean.
• Stainless steel sauté pan from the Honey line: sturdy, scratch-resistant stainless steel with the same smooth ceramic coating.

Size guide for sauté pans

How to pick the right size:

• 24 cm: for one or two people or a quick side dish.
• 28 cm: for a family of three or four.

In doubt? Size up. A small portion still cooks in a bigger pan, the other way around is harder.

Material choice at a glance

• Aluminium with ceramic non-stick coating: light, quick to heat, smooth surface for less fat and easy washing.
• Stainless steel with ceramic non-stick coating (Honey): sturdier and more scratch-resistant, with the same smooth coating.

PFAS-free range

No PFAS, PFOA or PTFE in our sauté pans. They all have a ceramic non-stick coating made of silicon oxide, on aluminium or on stainless steel. Find the full overview at sauté pan without PFAS.

Care basics

• Use wooden or silicone spatulas on the ceramic coating.
• Let the pan cool before washing it.
• A soft sponge and mild soap are usually enough.
• Stack pans with a cloth between them to avoid scratches.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a sauté pan and a frying pan?

A frying pan has sloped, lower sides, ideal for flipping and frying. A sauté pan has higher, straighter walls and more capacity, so it is better for stews and saucy dishes.

What is the difference between a sauté pan and a sauteuse?

Functionally they do the same job: straight high walls and a lid option. A sauté pan typically has a round handle or two grips, a sauteuse has one long handle.

What is the difference between a sauté pan and a casserole pot?

A casserole pot is deeper and heavier, built for slow stewing and oven use. A sauté pan is more agile and shallower, better for quicker frying and shorter stews.

How long does a sauté pan last?

With good care, years. At Cook & Pan you get a 7-year warranty on manufacturing and material defects, 2 years on the ceramic coating and 60 days of try-cooking. Pan does not suit you? Just send it back.
