Saute
pan is ideal for quickly browning pieces of meat, poultry, or other
ingredients. A saute pan should be well-made from heavy metal.
Kitchen
saute pans are designed to be large enough to hold food in a single
layer without crowding.
Straight sides help contain splattering and accommodate pan sauces. The
close-fitting lid of the stainless steel pan seals in moisture when
ingredients are simmered. Omelette pans, with sloped sides, can be used
interchangeably with saute pans in most of the times, except where a
significant amount of liquid is added to the pan. The traditional cast
iron handles offer balance and heat resistance, and are securely
fastened with three stainless steel rivets.
