Saute Pans - Frequently Asked Questions (NZ)

What's the difference between a sauté pan and a frying pan?

A sauté pan has straight or slightly sloped sides and a wide base, perfect for sautéing, braising, and simmering with minimal oil. A frying pan has flared sides and a smaller surface, ideal for flipping, searing, and shallow frying. While both can cook similar dishes, their designs suit specific techniques.

Can I use a sauté pan for frying?

Yes, sauté pans can fry foods with minimal oil due to their wide base and even heat distribution. However, for deep frying or tasks requiring easy flipping, a traditional frying pan may be more suitable.

What sauté pans do professional chefs use?

Chefs often use stainless steel or carbon steel sauté pans for durability, heat responsiveness, and even distribution. Some prefer non-stick for easy cleaning, while others like tri-ply stainless pans with aluminum or copper cores for precise temperature control. The choice depends on cooking style and kitchen needs.

Are sauté pans suitable for all stovetops in New Zealand?

Most sauté pans work on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction stovetops. Always check the product specifications for stovetop compatibility, especially for induction cooking.
