Sauteuse
What is a Sauteuse?
Sauteuse is the French term for frying pan and can typically serve two purposes: as a classic sauté pan or as a rounded saucepan. The sauteuse is ideal for simmering, reduction, searing, sautéing, and frying. This pan shares many characteristics with the Dutch Oven but differs in shape. The sauteuse boasts a set of curved handles, making it easier to transfer to and from the oven top as well as pour liquids. Its sloping sides make stirring easy and is ideal for preparing delicious sides, casseroles, and more. And its tight-fitting lid ensures even heat distribution throughout. The sauteuse is available in different sizes, accommodating for larger or smaller recipes.
How is a Sauteuse used?
Despite their similar names and functions, a sauteuse should not be confused with a sauté pan. The sauteuse is typically used to braise, sear, fry, and sauté a wide array of foods, including pot meals and casseroles. Its enamel cast iron exterior adds to its durability and prevents staining. The pan’s sloping sides and rounded base also make it easy to whisk ingredients, making the sauteuse ideal for slow-simmering and reducing sauces. The sauteuse’s deeper cooking surface also serves as a great base for deep frying and pan searing.
Benefits of a Sauteuse
The sauteuse is one of the more versatile pans in any cookware set, and can be used for braising, searing, frying, and sautéing. The sauteuse’s sloping sides distinguish it from the French Ovens and regular sauté pan, ensuring you can mix ingredients with ease. The pan’s unique shape also allows you to simmer soups, reduce sauces, deep-fry, and more. Its enamel-cast exterior, moreover, means it is built to last.
