The versatile 10-Inch Saute Pan with lid features curved sides, which help retain moisture, making this a fabulous pan for simmering vegetables, braising baby artichokes, or even cooking breakfast grains. The 5-ply stainless steel construction has an aluminum core for fast, even heat distribution and the corrosion-resistant, non-reactive, stainless steel interior surface won't alter flavors. The exterior layer is composed of magnetic stainless steel-great for all types of cooktops. Attractive enough to be taken directly from the stovetop to the tabletop.
