NanoBond 2qt Covered Saucier

NanoBond 2qt Covered Saucier

The saucier is the quiet workhorse of a good kitchen. Its rounded interior has no sharp corners for a whisk to miss, which is exactly what you want when you're coaxing a hollandaise together or stirring a custard that can't be left alone.

The details

This 2-quart saucier has curved, flaring sides that make whisking and stirring effortless and pouring clean. At about 8.5 inches across the rim and just under 3 inches deep, it's sized for the things you make in smaller batches: a pan of caramel, a cup of beurre blanc, a morning's worth of oatmeal or polenta. The tempered glass lid lets you watch a reduction without losing heat, and the long handle stays cool on the stovetop.

Like the rest of the NanoBond line, it's built from titanium-bonded stainless steel: molecular titanium layers fused to 18/10 stainless over an aluminum core, handcrafted in Italy. There's no nonstick coating to scratch or degrade, just a fully non-toxic surface that's 400% harder than ordinary stainless and engineered to conduct heat about 35% more efficiently than standard clad cookware. For a saucier, that even, responsive heat is the whole point, since most of what you make in one lives or dies on gentle, steady warmth.

You can whisk with metal, scrape with a metal spatula, and finish a sauce over high heat without worrying about the surface. It moves from stovetop to oven to broiler up to 1,050°F, works on induction and every other cooktop, and is dishwasher safe.
