Stainless Steel Sauté Pan – Frequently Asked Questions (New Zealand)
What makes stainless steel sauté pans popular in New Zealand kitchens?
Stainless steel sauté pans are a favourite among Kiwi home cooks for their durability, even heat distribution, and versatility. They can handle high-heat searing, simmering, and browning—perfect for everyday meals and entertaining guests.
What is the difference between a stainless steel sauté pan and a frying pan?
A sauté pan has taller, straighter sides and a larger cooking surface compared to a frying pan. This makes it ideal for recipes involving sauces or liquids, offering better control and less spillage while tossing ingredients.
Are stainless steel sauté pans non-stick?
Not naturally, but when properly preheated and lightly oiled, stainless steel forms a temporary non-stick surface. Many chefs prefer this for achieving golden sears and flavourful browning.
Can I use a stainless steel sauté pan on induction cooktops?
Yes, most stainless steel sauté pans available at The Living Styles NZ are induction compatible. They also work beautifully on gas, ceramic, and electric cooktops, providing consistent heat performance.
Are stainless steel sauté pans oven-safe?
Yes, stainless steel cookware is generally oven-safe, making it perfect for finishing dishes in the oven. Always check that the handle is also stainless or rated for oven use before placing it inside.
How do I prevent food from sticking to my stainless steel sauté pan?
Preheat your pan on medium heat, then add oil and allow it to shimmer before adding food. Avoid overcrowding, and let food release naturally once it’s ready to turn—this simple trick prevents most sticking issues.
How do I clean burnt or stuck-on food from stainless steel pans?
After cooking, let the pan cool slightly, then deglaze it with hot water. For stubborn marks, use baking soda paste or a gentle stainless steel cleaner. Avoid steel wool to preserve the surface shine.
Are stainless steel sauté pans dishwasher-safe?
Most stainless steel pans are dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing with warm water and mild detergent is recommended. It keeps the polish intact and extends the pan’s lifespan.
Why should I choose stainless steel over non-stick?
Stainless steel cookware offers superior heat tolerance, versatility, and durability. It’s ideal for browning, searing, and creating rich flavours that non-stick coatings can’t achieve over high heat.
