Le Creuset Essential Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Sauté Pan with Lid

With the Le Creuset Essential Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Sauté Pan with Lid you can cook any recipe with great control and in the easiest way you can imagine. This 26 cm pan has a design that makes it extremely versatile. Its high, straight sides prevent splatters and let you use it both as a frying pan and as a shallow casserole or roasting pan, with a generous 4.2-litre capacity. The long handle and helper handle are perfect for handling it comfortably and safely, whether you are using it on the hob or moving it into the oven to finish cooking or brown the top of a dish.

Thanks to its 3-PLY tri-ply technology, which combines high-quality stainless steel and aluminium, you'll get fast, even heat distribution from the base to the rim of the sauté pan. You'll notice it in the results and in the lower energy consumption. This 3-layer construction gives you excellent control over cooking: you'll see how quickly it responds when you turn the heat up or down, so you set the pace at every step of the recipe.

With its elegant, functional design, this 26 cm sauté pan will make cooking a joy and look great on the table as you enjoy the results of your recipes. It has everything to make cooking with it a pleasure:

• It comes with a perfectly fitting stainless steel lid that keeps steam and heat from escaping, helping to make cooking more efficient while preserving all the flavour, aroma and nutrients of the food.
• Its multi-layer construction, with 3-PLY tri-ply technology, combines bonded high-quality stainless steel and aluminium to form a 3-layer material that distributes heat quickly and evenly throughout the cookware. The whole body of the sauté pan heats up fully in less time, which means greater energy savings.
• The handle and helper handle are very comfortable and slightly raised, so you can lift it and move it between burners or take it to the oven or the table safely.
• The handle and helper handle are hollow inside to reduce heat transfer, so you can handle the pan without burning yourself.
• The rim of the sauté pan is drip-free, so you can pour out the contents without spills or drips. It helps you serve neatly and easily.
• It has a measuring scale on the inside to make preparing your recipes easier.
• It's ideal for your kitchen, whatever cooker you have: gas, induction, ceramic. Even in the oven and the freezer. If you decide to cook with it in the oven, remember that the lid is heat-resistant up to 220 °C.
• It's very easy to clean, both by hand and in the dishwasher.
• Le Creuset offers a lifetime guarantee.

As well as being a truly elegant piece, this sauté pan is ideal for all kinds of recipes, from stir-fries to braised meats, bean and lentil stews, soupy rice dishes, risottos, stovetop pasta dishes or delicious oven roasts. Because it heats up more quickly and evenly, it's a perfect choice for sauces that need gentle cooking, such as béchamel, or for making the dough for your croquettes.
