What Is the Difference Between a Saucepan and a Saucier?

Sauciers and Saucepans are differentiated by their shape. A sauce pot or pan has straight walls and a flat bottom, while a Saucier has rounded sides and a beveled edge so nothing gets stuck in the corners. If a meal requires constant whisking, stirring, and attention, it’s perfect for a Saucier while Saucepans are better for more hands-off recipes like reheating soups and stews.

What Is a Saucier Used For?

Sauciers originate from French cooking and are named after the saucier, or sauté chef, who handles sauces on the line in professional kitchens. These pots are perfect for saucy meals like risotto, or dessert sauces like caramel or chocolate ganache. Professional chefs love our Saucier for combining pasta in sauce, as it evenly distributes the sauce over the noodles.

Where Can I Use a Saucier?

All of our Stainless Steel Cookware is compatible on all stovetops, including induction cooktops, and is oven safe up to 800F.

Features and Benefits

Premium 5-Ply Construction
Premium metals are carefully layered to harness the best of each, creating all-purpose cookware that heats quickly, performs consistently, and responds instantly.
Even Heat Transfer
The lightweight aluminum core offers peerless heat conduction, while a stainless exterior promises superior circulation and retention. The result: faster 360-degree heating.
Stay Cool Handle™
In order to protect unsuspecting hands, our proprietary Stay Cool Handle™ features a hollow core—a dual-purpose design that improves maneuverability and slows the circulation of heat.
