A deep sauté pan is a cook’s essential for lots of reasons. For one, sometimes you need to start a big-batch cook by searing–whether it’s chorizo for a chili, bacon for a beefy stew, or sausage for a cassoulet. It’s ideal for building a fast braise or soup, wilting down greens or anything for which you think, “I hope this doesn’t spill over!” (High, straight sides–as opposed to those on a standard skillet–keep moisture in and reduce messy spatter.) Best of all, compared to a traditional stainless, our Hybrid tri-ply construction delivers extraordinary searing power with easy clean-up. Designed with a convenient helper handle, it’s a breeze to move it from stove-top to oven. Bonus: This generously sized 4.5-quart pan has a wide, 11-inch cooking surface ensuring a proper crisp on any fry. Sear, braise, fry and simmer all in one. Ideal for one-pot meals, with high sides keeping moisture in and preventing spatter. Revolutionary hybrid technology combines both stainless-steel and nonstick for the ultimate sear and easy clean-up. Tight-fitting, tempered glass lid is break-resistant, features a small steam vent, has a stay-cool handle, and is oven-safe up to 400º.
