Appliance review: Best large saucepans and our test winners
The Fir Eats / Amelia Manley
A well-equipped kitchen needs a variety of pots and pans large and small when it comes to saucepans. “A large pot is good for making soups and braising roasts but smaller saucepans are what I use most” says Tanorria Askew chef cooking instructor and creator of Tanorria’s Table . It’s her go-to cookware for boiling eggs making sauces reheating leftovers melting chocolate and warming milk or cream.
There are a few key things to consider before buying a smaller skillet including how you’ll be using it how the handle is attached (look for screws not glue or welds) and whether you want a nonstick surface. Many home cooks want a variety of small skillets for different tasks so it’s best to buy more than one. “I often have two or more small pans on my stovetop at once” Askew says.
