Sauté Pans

Fissler®, The BMW of stainless steel cookware

YourSmartKitchen takes your cooking endeavors seriously. That's why
we offer kitchenware in a variety of categories - and in a variety of options
for you to choose from within each catgegory. One of the most
indispensable kitchenware "tools" is a well-constructed Sauté Pan. While
other pans - even skillets - are often substituted for the properly
constructed sauté pan, the result is a poor compromise. We offer sauté
pans in our flagship brands - Fissler®, Swiss Diamond® and Mauviel® - and
in les well known brands like Paderno®, an 80-year-old Italian
manufacturer based in the city of Paderno.

What makes a sauté pan a sauté pan?
The Sauté Pan has characteristics in common with both the saucepan and the skillet. 
Like the saucepan, the sauté pan has a base that is completely flat, not rounded at 
the edges like a skillet. Yet, like the skillet, the sauté pan has short rather than tall sides. 
The tall sides of a saucepan help to conserve the heat of the simmering sauce, and also allow the sauce to expand as it
heats up without spilling over the sides, but a sauté pan with tall sides would trap the steam released 
in the sautéing process causing it to condense as water droplets that slide down the sides of the pan and into the
"frying fat" resulting in splattering. Therefore the sides of aSauté Pan should be short, not tall.
