Made from an innovative 5-layer multi-ply material, consisting of stainless steel and aluminum alloys, it ensures quick and even heat distribution up to the top edge. This allows for exact temperature control and prevents overcooking once the sauté pan is removed from the stove. The straight side walls and practical pouring rim facilitate drip-free pouring of sauces and other liquids. The ergonomically shaped handle made of cast stainless steel is double-riveted and remains pleasantly cool due to its special construction. With a wall thickness of 2.3 mm and a highly polished exterior, the sauté pan impresses not only functionally but also visually. This sauté pan is ideally suited for sautéing small vegetables or searing pieces of meat. Thanks to its excellent thermal conductivity, it is particularly suitable for preparing sauces, as temperature changes are directly transferred to the interior of the pot. The fine surface milling inside also reduces food sticking. The de Buyer Affinity Sauté Pan is suitable for all types of stoves, including induction, and is dishwasher safe. For long-lasting enjoyment of this high-quality cookware, it is recommended to occasionally treat the exterior with polishing paste to maintain its original shine.
