Sauce Pans
A saucepan is a versatile cookware piece that can be used for almost any cooking task. It's the ideal pan for heating and simmering, searing and frying, and braising and baking. A saucepan's rounded bottom and sides make it easy to stir food while it cooks, which is why they're often used for making soups. With various sizes and materials, a saucepan is a kitchen essential that can last for years and be used to create multiple delicious dishes.
Sauce Pans
Choosing the right sauce pan means considering how you cook and what you love to make. For those who enjoy experimenting with new recipes or often cook for a crowd, a large sauce pan offers the flexibility to prepare everything from risotto to poached eggs. If you’re cooking for one or two, a smaller pan might be more practical, but don’t underestimate the usefulness of a mid-sized option—it’s often the go-to for quick weeknight meals or simple sides. Look for sauce pots with lids that fit securely, as a tight-fitting lid helps lock in moisture and flavor, whether you’re simmering a tomato sauce or steaming vegetables. A comfortable handle and a well-balanced weight also make a difference, especially if you’re transferring hot liquids or pouring directly from pan to plate. The sur la table saucepan collection includes a variety of sizes and finishes, so it’s easy to find the perfect fit for your kitchen style and daily routine.
Sauce pans also make thoughtful gifts for newlyweds, college students setting up their first apartment, or anyone looking to upgrade their cookware. Their everyday usefulness and classic design ensure they’ll be reached for again and again, whether for making oatmeal on a busy morning or crafting a special dessert sauce for a summer celebration. For those who love making homemade soups or stews, exploring our Soup Saucepans collection can help round out your kitchen essentials. No matter the season, a dependable sauce pan is a cornerstone of home cooking—ready to help you create, share, and enjoy your favorite recipes.
Top Picks For Sauce Pans
FAQ List
Sauce pans are typically deeper and narrower than sauté pans, making them ideal for cooking liquids and sauces. Sauté pans, on the other hand, are wider and shallower, making them better suited for cooking foods that need to be stirred or tossed, such as vegetables or meats.
The size of your sauce pan will depend on your cooking needs. If you're cooking for one or two people, a small sauce pan (1-2 quarts) should suffice. If you're cooking for a larger group, you may want to consider a larger sauce pan (3-4 quarts).
The best material for a sauce pan will depend on your cooking preferences. Stainless steel is durable and easy to clean, while copper provides excellent heat conductivity. Aluminum is lightweight and affordable, but may not be as durable as other materials.
While sauce pans are not specifically designed for frying, they can be used for shallow frying or pan-frying small items. However, if you plan on doing a lot of frying, it may be best to invest in a dedicated frying pan.
The best way to clean your sauce pan will depend on the material. Stainless steel can be cleaned with soap and water, while copper may require special cleaning products. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and care.
