IKEA Sauté pan stainless steel 9 " 605.766.07 Swedish Design 365+ kitchen accessory

Sauté pan for versatile cooking

This 9-inch stainless-steel sauté pan suits home cooks who want one vessel for searing, braising and oven finishing. Its rounded interior makes stirring and beating easy during high-heat sautés. The thick encapsulated-aluminium base spreads heat evenly across all cooktop types, including induction. Buyers who need a non-stick coating or a larger family-size capacity should look elsewhere.

Limits of the all-metal construction

The pan works on every cooktop and goes straight into the oven because it is made entirely of metal. No plastic handles or glass lids restrict the maximum temperature. The steam vent reduces pressure so food is less likely to boil over when the lid is on. Cooks who require a see-through lid to monitor contents without lifting it will not get that visibility here.

Simple use with a few cautions

Place the pan on the hob, add oil or butter, and start cooking; the heavy base minimises hot spots that cause burning. Lower the heat and fit the lid to braise with trapped moisture. The metal handle stays hot on the hob and in the oven, so always use a pot holder. The stainless surface can show water marks if not dried promptly after washing.
