Material & Types

A saucepan is a stovetop circular cooking vessel that is deep, comes with high sides and straight edges. There is usually a long wooden or metal handle and most of these pans come with glass lids or lids in other materials. Not to be confused with a sauté pan or a crockpot as it is narrower and taller than a sauté pan.

The narrow surface area is for the even distribution of heat in the liquid inside the pan. You can buy high-quality pans in non-stick, stainless steel, cast iron and metal with a copper-coated bottom. The standard size for the smallest saucepan is a diameter of 16 cm, medium 18 cm and larger of 20 cm.

Tips & Comments

If you buy a pan with a glass lid, make sure the manufacturer uses tempered glass as only that variety can withstand high temperatures. While there are many materials, not all of them are dishwasher and oven safe. The stainless steel variety is quite durable and also rust-resistant and you can easily use them in a dishwasher or an oven.
