Know before you buy
This size is ideal for smaller tasks like heating soups, melting butter, or reducing delicate sauces. It is a specialized tool for precision work rather than a primary pot for boiling large batches of pasta.
The light sand-colored enamel is designed to help you monitor the color of your sauces as they cook. While it may show some discoloration over time with heavy use, it is durable and easy to clean with a soft sponge and warm soapy water.
Yes, the enameled cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stovetops.
While the saucepan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to preserve the luster of the exterior enamel and prevent the cast iron edges from dulling over time.
The empty saucepan weighs 5.6 pounds. Because it is made of solid cast iron, it will have a substantial, sturdy feel on the stovetop, which helps keep it stable while you stir.
The helper handle provides extra stability when lifting or pouring, which is particularly helpful given the weight of the cast iron. It allows for a more secure, two-handed grip when moving the pan from the stovetop to the oven or table.
