A sauté pan is an indispensable kitchen “tool” used for frying and stewing foods.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova , the sauté pan is more versatile and easy to use, which makes it indispensable in any kitchen.

We invite you to find out what features this product has that distinguish it from other types of cookware.

Form

A sauté pan usually has a flat bottom, which allows it to distribute heat evenly across the entire surface. Compared to a frying pan or saucepan, a sauté pan has a wider open surface, which allows for better control over the cooking process. The sides, on the contrary, are lower than those of a saucepan.

Dimensions

Sauté pans are generally larger in size than frying pans.

Application

Such products are used for frying products and slow stewing dishes. In a sauté pan, you can cook meat and fish steaks, cutlets, vegetables, various sauces and gravies, as well as stews, pilaf, paella and other dishes.

Pen

Saucepans are equipped with a long handle, which makes it easy to lift and move the cookware, making the products unlike saucepans.
