Saucepan

A saucepan is the pan for sauces, soups and anything that needs attention and stirring. At Cook & Pan you'll find saucepans for reducing a hollandaise, warming milk without it boiling over, and a quick portion of pasta. All induction-ready and PFAS-free.

Which saucepan suits you?

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

• Saucepan for induction: magnetic base, quick to heat, works on every cooktop.
• Saucepan without PFAS: healthy cooking without PFAS, PFOA or PTFE.
• Ceramic saucepan: aluminium body with a ceramic non-stick coating, smooth surface and easy to clean.
• Stainless steel saucepan: handles high heat, dishwasher-safe and perfect for reducing.

Size guide for saucepans

At Cook & Pan you choose between 16 cm and 18 cm:

• 16 cm: compact, ideal for small portions of sauce, melting butter or poaching an egg.
• 18 cm: best-selling size, fits soup for 2, warming milk for the whole family or a quick portion of pasta.

In doubt? The 18 cm is a touch more useful for most households.

Material choice at a glance

• 3-layer stainless steel: sturdy, dishwasher-safe, perfect for sauces and reducing.
• Aluminium with ceramic non-stick coating: light, quick to heat, smooth surface for milk and porridge without sticking.
• Cast iron: heavy but excellent for low-and-slow simmering.

PFAS-free range

No PFAS, PFOA or PTFE in our saucepans. We work with pure stainless steel and aluminium with a ceramic non-stick coating. Find the full overview at saucepan without PFAS.

Care basics

• Warm water and a soft brush are your best friends for cleaning.
• No abrasive sponges or harsh products on the ceramic coating.
• Don't leave the pan soaking in water, that prevents stains.
• For extra shine on stainless steel: a splash of vinegar or lemon juice works wonders.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a saucepan and a frying pan?

A frying pan has a wide base and low, sloped sides, perfect for frying. A saucepan has high, straight walls and a long handle, made for sauces, soups and anything that needs reducing.

What's the difference between a saucepan and a stockpot?

A stockpot is larger and has two handles, made for boiling water and big portions. A saucepan has one long handle and is meant for smaller portions you stir often.

With good care, years. At Cook & Pan you get 7 years' manufacturing warranty, 2 years on the coating and 60 days of trial cooking. Not happy? Send it back.
