What Is the Difference Between a Saucepan and a Saucier?

Sauciers and Saucepans are differentiated by their shape. A sauce pot or pan has straight walls and a flat bottom, while a Saucier has rounded sides and a beveled edge so nothing gets stuck in the corners. If a meal requires constant whisking, stirring, and attention, it’s perfect for a Saucier while Saucepans are better for more hands-off recipes like reheating soups and stews.

What Is a Saucier Used For?

Sauciers originate from French cooking and are named after the saucier, or sauté chef, who handles sauces on the line in professional kitchens. These pots are perfect for saucy meals like risotto, or dessert sauces like caramel or chocolate ganache. Professional chefs love our Saucier for combining pasta in sauce, as it evenly distributes the sauce over the noodles.

Where Can I Use a Saucier?

All of our Stainless Steel Cookware is compatible on all stovetops, including induction cooktops, and is oven safe up to 800F.

From béchamel to velouté, the Saucier is designed for smooth, fully emulsified sauces. Dishes like risotto and gumbo, which require constant agitation, benefit from the Saucier’s cornerless bottom, which guides the whisk and promotes circulation.

Like the rest of our Stainless Clad Cookware, ours is crafted from 5 layers of metal for improved heat conduction and distribution. It heats evenly and responds instantly to temperature changes, giving more control when sautéing, deglazing, and reducing. It also cleans up in seconds, as it prevents the hot spots that lead to stuck-on messes. A rolled rim allows you to pour sauces without spilling, and our hollow Stay Cool Handle™ keeps your hands safe.
