Saucier and Saucepan
What is Saucier and Saucepan?
A saucier and a saucepan are very similar with a few key differences. This piece of cookware is perfect for preparing sauces and reductions but can also be used to prepare side dishes. Typically, saucepans have straight sides, while the saucier is designed with rounded sides, making whisking a delicate sauce easier. The rounded bottom of the saucier ensures sauce avoids sticking to the corners of the pan and does not get burned. The saucepans, by contrast, are ideal for preparing grains and small sides, but can also be used to prepare sauces. The saucier and saucepan’s ergonomic stay-cool handles offer cooks complete control and a confident grip.
How is a Saucier and Saucepan used?
As their names suggest, a saucier and saucepan are ideal for making sauces, but can also be used to prepare vegetables and side dishes, including green beans and rice. Their shallow base provides a large surface for reducing sauces and offers superior heat retention. The pans’ unique curved corners ensure ingredients are exposed to a consistent heat source. The saucier and saucepan also maintain their heat level throughout the cooking process, which is especially crucial for the preparation of delicate sauces.
