Stainless Steel Saucepan with Lid

A stainless steel saucepan with a lid and a non-stick interior — the pan that gets used more than any other and thought about least. Milk, porridge, rice, a single portion of pasta, reheating soup, melting butter. If something goes wrong in a kitchen, it usually goes wrong in this pan, because it's the one people walk away from.

Stainless outside for durability and even conduction, non-stick inside so milk and starchy liquids release instead of welding themselves to the base. The lid matters more than it sounds — it halves the time rice takes and stops a simmer reducing to nothing while you do something else.

Why you'll love it

• The everyday pan — milk, rice, sauces, reheating, one-portion cooking.
• Non-stick interior — starchy and dairy liquids release cleanly.
• Lid included — faster simmering, less evaporation.
• Light enough to pour from — one-handed, unlike a cast iron pot.

Keep metal utensils out of it — a non-stick base survives heat far better than it survives a fork. Wooden or silicone only.
