Know before you buy
The saucier features curved sides and a rounded bottom, which eliminates the sharp corners found in traditional pots. This design allows your whisk to reach every edge, preventing ingredients from getting stuck and ensuring a smooth, emulsified consistency.
Yes, the gold-tone knob is designed to withstand high temperatures. This saucier is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to transition seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes.
While the enamel is durable and resists dulling, it is best to avoid metal utensils to prevent scratching the surface. The light interior is specifically designed to help you monitor the color of your sauces and grains as they cook, making it easier to avoid burning.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. Its heavy base provides excellent heat retention regardless of the heat source.
While the saucier is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the luster of the enamel and the gold finish on the knob over time.
The saucier weighs approximately 7 pounds and 3 ounces. Because of the weight of the cast iron, it remains stable on the burner while you are whisking or stirring.
