Saute pans are the Swiss army knives of cookware. With tall, straight sides, they can, well, saute, but they also sear meat, shallow fry, braise, steam, and simmer sauces. Most come with a lid to trap moisture and steam. They make everything from glossy deglazed steak to fried onion rings to simple spaghetti with tomato sauce. If you cook a lot of one-pan dinners (which is basically every other recipe on the internet), they’re one of the most hardworking pans in the kitchen.
Caraway, the premium cookware brand, just released a 3qt saute pan. Like the brand’s other products, the saute pan has an aluminum core, a ceramic nonstick coating and stainless steel handles. It’s got a laundry list of nice features: nontoxic and free of Pfas, lead and other “forever chemicals”; induction-safe; oven-safe up to 550F; ridiculously pretty.
