What customers say
Reviewers consistently praise the exceptional quality and robust construction of this sauteuse. Its tri ply design ensures remarkably even heat distribution, making searing and simmering effortless. A key highlight is the comfortable cool touch handle, which significantly improves ease of use during extended cooking sessions. While this is a premium investment, the consensus confirms its lasting durability and superior cooking performance fully justify the cost.
Know before you buy
Tri-ply construction means the pan features a core of conductive metal sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the bottom and up the sides, preventing hot spots and allowing for more consistent searing and sautéing.
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all cooktop types, including magnetic induction. The stainless steel construction is designed to perform efficiently on any heat source.
The ergonomic handles are designed to stay cool to the touch during standard stovetop cooking. However, if you are using the pan for an extended period or at very high heat, it is always a good practice to keep an oven mitt nearby.
The tempered glass lid is oven safe up to 425°F. While the pan itself can withstand temperatures up to 500°F, you should remove the lid if you are roasting or broiling at higher temperatures.
The pan has a height of 4 inches, which provides plenty of depth for braising, simmering sauces, or preparing one-pan meals without worrying about splashing or overcrowding.
The mirror satin finish is durable, but to maintain its luster, it is best to avoid abrasive scouring pads or harsh steel wool. A soft sponge and mild dish soap are sufficient for daily cleaning, and a stainless steel cleaner can be used occasionally to remove any heat discoloration.
