A 4-quart, 11-inch, 5-ply stainless steel sauté pan with a lid, sized to cook a whole chicken's worth of thighs without overcrowding. The uncoated stainless surface builds real fond for deglazing, and the wide base browns evenly while the straight sides hold liquid.

What It Is For

This versatile sauté pan excels in braising, shallow frying, and one-pan dinners, allowing you to sear ingredients before finishing them in sauce. With five bonded layers that ensure even heating from base to sidewalls, the 5-ply stainless steel sauté pan guarantees precise and consistent cooking temperatures. It can withstand oven heat up to 500°F, surpassing the limits of many coated pans.

Getting the Best From Stainless

To achieve the best results with the 5-ply stainless steel sauté pan, start by preheating the empty pan, then add oil followed by your choice of food. Initially, proteins may stick, but they will release naturally once a crust has formed. It's vital to allow the food to cook without disruption during this stage. Since the sauté pan is uncoated, metal utensils are perfectly safe to use. Any residue from stuck-on food can be easily addressed with deglazing instead of scrubbing. For maintenance, allow your pan to cool before washing and use a soft sponge or non-scratch pad. Periodically, Bar Keepers Friend can be used to restore the pan's shine when it starts to dull. See our braising basics for how to put this pan's fond to use.
