Know before you buy
The saucier features rounded, sloped sides rather than straight edges. This design makes it much easier to whisk ingredients thoroughly and prevents food from getting stuck in the corners, which is ideal for sauces, risottos, and custards.
No, this pan is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas, electric, and ceramic glass stovetops.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the triple-layer nonstick coating and the hard-anodized finish, you should hand wash it using mild soap and a soft sponge.
This saucier is oven safe up to 400°F. This allows you to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven without needing to transfer your food to a different container.
The helper handle provides an extra point of contact, making it much easier and safer to lift or move the pan when it is filled to its 4.5-quart capacity. It offers better stability and control, especially when pouring.
This pan features a triple-layer nonstick interior specifically engineered for superior scratch resistance. While it is highly durable, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to ensure the longest possible lifespan for the coating.
