This is a 2-quart saucier from Hestan's Thomas Keller Commercial Clad line: tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel around a ProCore aluminum core. Its wide, shallow shape gives more cooking surface than a tall saucepan, which suits whisking sauces, risotto, pastry cream and grains. The sealed rims make it fully dishwasher safe, and it is oven and broiler safe to 800°F. Against All-Clad and Made In sauciers it stands out on heat conductivity and the vented, seamlessly attached handle; it is a heavier investment than mainstream tri-ply pans.

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 605 ratings, owners consistently praise the even heating, the comfortable handle and how easy the pan is to clean. Complaints are few and mostly about weight and the learning curve of cooking on uncoated stainless.
This 2-quart saucier is part of Thomas Keller's Commercial Clad line from Hestan. It is made of triple-bonded 18/10 stainless steel with a ProCore aluminum core, which gives 35% greater heat conductivity. The pan is wider rather than taller, giving more cooking surface for sauces, risotto, pastry creams and grains.
The handle is ergonomic and fastened seamlessly to the pan, so there is no crevice to trap food. A heat vent in the handle reduces heat transfer by up to 20%. Flush rivets prevent food build-up and let the pans stack and nest. The sealed rims are flared for drip-free pouring.
The saucier works on all cooktops, including induction. It is oven and broiler safe to 800 °F / 426 °C, safe for metal utensils and dishwasher safe. It is made in Italy, and the packaging is made from recycled materials.
