When it comes to making sauce, gravy, or other liquid foods, the saucepan is your go-to. Its high, straight sides lend themselves well to frequent stirring or whisking required for making sauces, limiting spilling. And the smaller surface area retains heat well and limits evaporation. As part of our Copper Core collection, this saucepan features a thick copper core, 2 layers of aluminum, and 2 layers of stainless steel. This unique construction makes it ultra-responsive to heat, disperses heat evenly, and creates unmatched, long-lasting durability. For an added touch of elegance, it has a polished surface and a cutout that shows off that lustrous copper. At 3 quarts in size, it’s just right for making sauces, heating liquids, cooking food in liquids, and reheating. At 4 quarts, it’s big enough for those no-fuss one-pot meals and leaves you with enough for the next day's lunch. Bonded, Engineered, & Assembled in the USA.
