There¡¯s a lot to love about this deep saut¨¦ pan. Its depth ¨C a full 3.5 inches ¨C means it won¡¯t meet a chicken thigh it can¡¯t sear and braise. At a foot wide, it¡¯s about the size of a typical skillet, but because of its tri-ply construction ¨C stainless steel enveloping aluminum ¨C it¡¯s light. (Not cartoonishly heavy, like cast-iron.) You¡¯re going to want to keep this one-pot meal workhorse on the closest burner for searing, braising, frying and simmering: Its high sides will help keep your kitchen spatter-free. We love a saut¨¦ pan with a lid, and this one¡¯s glass lid employs durable, high-quality tempered glass that you can peer through to check on your Sunday sauce.
