  • Our take on the 5-Ply Stainless Saucepan with Lid

    This is an uncoated 18/10 stainless steel saucepan built from five bonded layers that run through the base and sidewalls. The clad construction spreads heat evenly and reacts quickly when you change the burner, which suits sauces, custards, grains and reductions. Because the steel is non-reactive, acidic ingredients like tomatoes, citrus and wine are no problem, and there is no nonstick coating to scratch or wear out. It is a frequent-use pan for cooks who want control and don't mind learning stainless heat management; coated nonstick saucepans are easier to clean but less precise and shorter-lived.

    About the 5-Ply Stainless Saucepan with Lid

    This saucepan is made of uncoated 18/10 stainless steel with no nonstick coating. No PFAS or PTFE is present. Its 5-ply, fully clad construction bonds five layers with an aluminum core, spreading heat through the base and sidewalls for controlled simmering and reductions.

    The non-reactive stainless steel interior suits acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, citrus and wine-based sauces. With no coating to wear away, it can be used with metal utensils, though wood or silicone helps preserve the finish. It heats and responds quickly to heat changes, which suits sauces, grains, custards and other temperature-sensitive recipes.

    The saucepan works on gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and induction cooktops and is oven safe up to 500°F / 260°C. For best results, preheat the pan before adding oil, use low to medium heat, and let food release naturally before flipping or moving it.

    Questions and answers

    Is this saucepan oven-safe?
    The five-ply stainless construction is metal throughout, so it can go from the stovetop into the oven. Check the lid's handle material before baking with the lid on.
    Does food stick to uncoated stainless?
    Yes, if the pan is cold or under-oiled. Preheat it, add fat, and let the pan release food naturally; that is normal for uncoated steel.
    Can I cook tomato sauce in it?
    Yes. The 18/10 stainless interior is non-reactive, so tomatoes, citrus and wine-based sauces won't pick up a metallic taste.
    How is this different from a nonstick saucepan?
    It has no coating, so it won't chip or wear out and it handles metal utensils. Nonstick is easier to clean but less precise and shorter-lived.
    How should I clean it?
    Wash by hand with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive pad. For discoloration, a stainless cleaner or a vinegar and water boil restores the finish.
    What is included?
    The saucepan and its lid. No other accessories are part of the set.
