Sauté pan

Sauté pan: fry, braise and make sauces in one pan

A sauté pan combines the best of a frying pan and a casserole pot. The straight, high sides catch everything without splattering and give you room to turn vegetables, meat or fish with a flick of the wrist. Whether you sauté, braise or reduce a sauce, this pan can handle it. What exactly a sauté pan is and how it differs from other pans, you can read in our guide what is a sauté pan.

What do you use a sauté pan for?

A sauté pan is versatile enough for almost any dish that needs a little more volume or liquid. Think of:

• Sautéing vegetables without half of them flying out of the pan.
• Creamy risottos and pastas that need some room to come together.
• Stews and curries, braised with the lid on.
• Reducing sauces over a large surface for quick evaporation.
• Cooking a big batch of scrambled eggs, omelette or pancakes.
