What can you cook with a stainless steel saucepan?

A stainless steel saucepan is a versatile utensil that allows you to prepare a wide variety of recipes. Thanks to its ability to heat evenly, it’s ideal for making smooth sauces, simmering flavorful dishes, cooking pasta, or preparing broths and soups. Its neutral material doesn’t alter the taste or quality of your ingredients, ensuring healthy and controlled cooking.

To prevent food from sticking, use the water droplet test: heat your saucepan over high heat and sprinkle a few drops of water—if they roll around like beads, the temperature is just right. You can then slightly reduce the heat and start cooking. This technique ensures perfect cooking while preserving flavors.

Are stainless steel saucepans compatible with induction?

Yes, most De Buyer stainless steel saucepans are induction-compatible thanks to their magnetic or multi-layer bases. They’re also suitable for gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, making them an ideal choice for all modern kitchens.

Can stainless steel saucepans go in the oven?

De Buyer stainless steel saucepans offer great versatility and can be used in the oven to sear, roast, or simmer your favorite dishes. However, be sure the handle or grips are suitable for extended oven use.

Models with removable handles like ALCHIMY LOQY are particularly convenient for this type of cooking.

What’s the difference between multi-layer stainless steel and encapsulated base saucepans?

Stainless steel saucepans fall into two categories: Multi-layer saucepans, which have excellent thermal conductivity similar to copper, and Encapsulated base saucepans, which conduct heat from the bottom, ideal for immersion cooking.

The AFFINITY collection features 5-ply stainless steel (stainless steel – 3 layers of aluminum – stainless steel), offering thermal reactivity closest to that of copper.

The ALCHIMY collection is made of 3-ply stainless steel (stainless steel – aluminum – stainless steel), providing excellent heat distribution throughout the body.

The MILADY and PRIM’APPETY collections, on the other hand, feature an encapsulated base (also known as a sandwich bottom) that ensures heat is distributed from the bottom, making them ideal for immersion cooking.

How to care for a stainless steel saucepan?

Caring for stainless steel saucepans is simple and quick. They can be cleaned in the dishwasher or by hand with warm soapy water. For stubborn stains or cooking residues, use a gentle cleanser or a mix of baking soda and water.

Avoid abrasive sponges that might scratch the surface and always dry your saucepan thoroughly after washing to preserve its shine.
