This middle-sized half stockpot of top-quality construction is the workhorse of a kitchen, and might be the pot chosen if only one is wanted. It has an 8-inch diameter and a 4-quart capacity, so it handles any medium-sized chore, from simmering a sauce to reducing stock to cooking vegetables. Profiserie pots and pans from French manufacturer Sitram are made of 18/10 stainless steel with triple-layer bottoms with an inner aluminum core and have a shiny outer surface and a brushed surface inside, with wide, stainless-steel handles. Professional chefs often choose Sitram cookware for its long-lasting quality construction and uniform heat diffusion, qualities that also earn praise from home cooks. It's dishwasher-, stovetop-, oven-, and broiler-safe. --Marcie Bovetz

Frieling USA A33201 Sitram Profiserie Half Stockpot 4 Quart Customer Review

I disagree with the previous reviewer, though I have not had to contact Sitram's customer service. That is because the Sitram pot I own (same line but 3.3 Quart) has performed flawlessly for 6+ years of regular use.

Sitram pots/pans hava a terrific thick sandwiched base and it provides optimal heat dirtribution on both electric and gas cooktops. I havent had any problems with the construction. Don't hesitate to try one of these saucepans, especially at the low Amazon prices!

Every pot needs a lid to tightly seal in juices over hours of slow cooking. This sturdy lid fits the Sitram Braisier/Stewpot and any other model 28 Sitram pots. The lid is made of the same heavy 18/10 stainless steel as the pot; the sturdy, stay-cool handle is welded on, and includes a lifetime guarantee against separation.

Sitram Catering 11 Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Lid Customer Review

Simple, but very effective. Small steam vent prevents lid from jumping/rattling while simmering. Just add a few "real corks" under handle or you'll always need to use a towel/oven mitt as the handle will be hot. Both the lid and the cork have had no problems being run through the dishwasher.

Sitram Profiserie 11 InchStainless Steel Lid Customer Review

I bought the same item from Costco (Business division)--same Sitram part number-- for 13 bucks instead of Amazon's 22 bucks.

Decently designed and made, very light weight, with a tiny vent hole near the edge. The finish is polished, not brushed like the Profiserie pots. It fits all the 28 cm rim diameter (so-called 11 inch) Sitram Profiserie pots. For me that means the 28 cm saute pan and frypan (both excellent). This Profiserie lid has a D shaped flat strap handle, with slightly smaller attachment pads than the Catering style. Perhaps the smaller spot weld pad is a weak point, but that's common to all inexpensive commercial grade lids. The more expensive 'Catering' lids have a rod shaped handle with 90 degree sides (a bit more roomy) and bigger attachment pads. The Profiserie rim edge is not actually sharp, nor rough, but it's pretty hard edged -- 'utility' grade, not luxury grade. So don't rub your hand against it. Or maybe smooth it into a nice radius with a steel or a ceramic stick or some emery paper. I haven't bothered. I physically checked a bunch of them, and some were a bit harder edged than others, but none were dangerous. I only comment on this because somewhere on Amazon there is a (no doubt accurate) complaint about a sharp edge on some Sitram object that slipped through QC.

All the Sitram Profiserie stuff is made to be 'rode hard' (although not 'put away wet') by French line cooks and should last me the rest of my life if I don't use it to pound nails or stun burglers.

Commercial quality fry pan for searing, stir-frying and sautéing
Durable 18/10 stainless steel with sandwiched copper bottom for superior heat conduction
Welded handles withstand oven and broiler
Made in France
Lifetime warranty

Technical Details

This larger frying pan is from a line of the most distinguished cookware in and outside of France. Professionals rely on the superior heat conduction and durability. For the home cook, the surgical quality stainless steel offers a lot of eye appeal along with high performance. The warp-proof pan bottom is three layers thick with a thermic copper core, the best metal for conducting heat from the flame to the food. The long handle stays cool even over high heat and it's welded to withstand the oven, broiler, and dishwasher cleaning. The polished finish will stay shining, long after you've mastered the art of sautéing without the aid of a spoon--just like the pros. --Lynne Sampson

Sitram Catering 11 Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Customer Review

I worked in restaurants for many years before going into the federal gov't, and good pans or bad pans would show their true colours over time.

For those w/ any arm/wrist/finger troubles, know that this pan may be uncomfortable to grip the handle, and may be a little too heavy. The handle is not rounded, but thin and rigid for lack of a better word. The Profiserie Sitram line is easier and "softer" to handle. However, this pan is a powerhouse, if you will, and can handle and endure heavy use in the kitchen, which is why it is "commercial grade" in both name and quality.

I would recommend using only wooden spoons and spatulas in this pan. Pure virgin olive oil is the best to use to get the pan going when sautéing, but extra virgin oo is good for lighter cooking or when simmering. Using a wooden spatula (never metal) will keep things from sticking just fine -- scrape when necessary w/ the wooden spatula. Do not forget to keep your wooden spatulas/spoons/cutting boards oiled too. (See my other reviews for suggestions on this topic)

Oil sprays are not necessary and only last so long anyway. This pan will become a valued partner in the kitchen. It is a joy to use knowing that you are using a high quality item. It is good to hand wash these pans and to use a little bit of "Bartenders Friend" to keep them shining like new. It is also good not to use high heat, but rather middle heat zones for smooth cooking.

The bottom line is that this pan is perfect, and beats a Tephlon or other nonstick pan in durability without trouble. In addition, unlike the nonstick pans, you do not have to worry about scratching it, no peeling of the coating, and best of all no chemical concerns leaching into your food -- there has been much debate/concern about this. I do not use nonstick pans for anything.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
Neil Etter

What I like most about this pot is that it has a copper bottom, sandwiched between two other layers of metal. I think that copper is the BEST metal for even heat distribution. Also, I like that it's a big pot that doesn't have a huge base that would overwelm the stovetop. (The diameter and height are each 9 inches.)

Sitram Catering 5.4 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Braisier/Stewpot Review

French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade, stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide--serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. On the Inox line's pot and pan bottoms, a disk of copper--cookware's best heat conductor--sheathed in steel conducts heat rapidly and uniformly. Sitram cookware goes safely into ovens and under broilers, and, designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely. The bottoms don't warp, and this cookware is stain- and corrosion-resistant. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. This is cookware for cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design.

Braisiers, such as this one, offer versatility. In the oven or on top the stove and covered with a lid (sold separately), this pan serves as a casserole to stew or braise meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables. Popular for browning meats and rapidly reducing sauces and broths, it's also a sauté pan, a deep-frying pan, and a double-handled saucepan large enough (9.4 inches in diameter by 9-1/2 inches high) to handle most home-kitchen tasks. --Fred Brack

Known as a half-stockpot, this pot's capacity actually is about two-thirds of Sitram's full stockpot.

Sitram Profiserie 11.6 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Half Stockpot Customer Review

i have one requirement for a pot: it needs to fit my Aga stove. In other words, it should have a perfectly flat bottom and not be too tall to fit in the ovens. Since having the Aga installed several years ago, I had to replace the pots that didn't fit or work properly on the big flat plates that serve as burners.. All Sitram pots have a thick flat bottom which works perfectly on my stove. Since most of them are made for commercial use, they are extremely sturdy and come in many useful sizes. When I realized that one of my stockpots was too tall for my ovens, i got this pot, and it's perfect, since it's wide and low. This is a great pot for large batches of stew, soup, or stock. It cleans up nicely by hand or in the dishwasher, and a little stainless steel cleaner takes away any stains that do develop. My only (small) complaint is that the lids have to be purchased separately. As you may have guessed, I own several Sitram pots and pans and like them all. They're not expensive, either.

With its wide bottom and low sides, a rondeau casserole is a commercial-kitchen workhorse. In the oven or on top the stove and covered with a lid (sold separately), this pan serves as a casserole to stew or braise meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables. Popular for browning meats and rapidly reducing sauces and broths, it's also a roasting pan and a fry pan. --Fred Brack

Sitram Catering 11.4 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Rondeau Casserole Customer Review

Perfect for browning, braising and stewing large batches of chicken, pork, lamb or the like. This is a very heavy pot - so that's what makes it great for browning meat (maillard reaction) them simmering it in wine, broth and mire poix (carrots, celery and onion) plus lots of garlic.

This is now my standard "braising and stewing" pot and has replaced my 7.25 quart Le Creuset French Oven. It can take more abuse and is easier to clean. It is much wider and will brown more meat faster.

Granted that with the 13.5 in. cover, this rondeau will put you back about 0, this will pay for itself in only 2 outings with the family is a typical restaurant.

This is my best pot for cooking a large meal for my 3 hungry boys and their friends. I love it.

With a diameter of 14 inches, this gleaming pan is wonderful for braising large roasts or simmering family-sized soups.

Sitram Profiserie 4.9 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saute Pan Review

This larger-sized sauté pan is from Sitram's stellar line of cookware widely used in professional kitchens around the world.

But this exceptional pan with a shining, polished finish performs perfectly on electric or gas burners as well. It heats so uniformly that even over the high heat of sautéing you'll be in perfect control. The smooth, rounded handle lets you keep the pan moving without needing an oven mitt. You'll start out admiring this pan's beauty, but will grow to appreciate its long-lasting quality in and out of oven, broiler, and dishwasher. --Lynne Sampson

Sitram Profiserie 4.9 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saute Pan Customer Review

This stainless steel cookware has a thick aluminum disk bonded to the bottom surface. The thick disk provides good, uniform heating, and this piece is large enough that, on a small home burner, scorching at the bottom circumference (where the disk ends) is not a problem. Obviously, some proteins will stick to bare stainless, but that's great for making pan sauces, and I've had no trouble cleaning it by boiling some water in the dirty pan.

The handle is excellent. It is thick, round, and comfortable. On the stovetop, the handle stays cool. After the pan has been in the oven, the handle is of course hot (a fact I frequently forget), but it actually cools off quite quickly. The handle is welded, so there are no rivets to make cleaning difficult. This is a large, heavy pan, though, and I would have appreciated a helper handle on the opposite side.

The construction of the pan is definately commercial/industrial. It feels solid and durable. The edges of the aluminum disk have little or no bevel; that is, they edges of the disk meet the bottom of the pan at about a 90 degree angle. This gives the pan something of an unfinished look, and could lead to the edge of the disk catching on the burner grate as you put it on the burner or move it around. Also, the bottom surface of the aluminum disk is not polished--you can see the machining pattern. This makes it a little hard to move smoothly over the burner grate when sautéing.

I am quite happy with the pan, and will continue to buy other Sitram cookware.

Whether it's simmering for hours with classic chicken stock, an elaborate minestrone soup, fiery chili, or lobster for six, this pot will provide a lifetime of consistent good cooking. The generous size of this pot is ideal for cooking for large groups or ample quantities to freeze. (Please note that the lid is sold separately.) --Sherry Smith

Sitram Catering 22.2 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Stockpot Customer Review

I LOVE home made stock. However, I don't have time to make it in small batches. With this pot I can make enough to last two months... and I use a LOT of stock. I like this pot so much, I bought another! That way I can make all my chicken and veal stock in one day.

This is a LARGE pot. I would not recommend this if you don't have a gas range. If you do, AND you make stock, you NEED one of these. This is a very sturdy, heavy duty pot.

NOTE: I also like the lid. It has a small hole to let steam escape while your stock simmers. However, I wish they'd include it with the purchase of the pot. (Who needs a pot without a lid?)

The best kitchens worldwide rely on the craftsmanship and integrity of this heavy-gauge stainless-steel saucepan with over a 5-quart capacity.

Sitram Profiserie 5.4 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saucepan Customer Review

I worked in restaurants for many years before going into the federal gov't, and good pans or bad pans would show their true colours over time.

For those w/ any arm/wrist/finger troubles, know that this pan may be uncomfortable to grip the handle, and may be a little too heavy. The handle is not rounded, but thin and rigid for lack of a better word. The Profiserie Sitram line is easier and "softer" to handle. However, this pan is a powerhouse, if you will, and can handle and endure heavy use in the kitchen, which is why it is "commercial grade" in both name and quality.

I would recommend using only wooden spoons and spatulas in this pan. Pure virgin olive oil is the best to use to get the pan going when sautéing, but extra virgin oo is good for lighter cooking or when simmering. Using a wooden spatula (never metal) will keep things from sticking just fine -- scrape when necessary w/ the wooden spatula. Do not forget to keep your wooden spatulas/spoons/cutting boards oiled too. (See my other reviews for suggestions on this topic)

Oil sprays are not necessary and only last so long anyway. This pan will become a valued partner in the kitchen. It is a joy to use knowing that you are using a high quality item. It is good to hand wash these pans and to use a little bit of "Bartenders Friend" to keep them shining like new. It is also good not to use high heat, but rather middle heat zones for smooth cooking.

The bottom line is that this pan is perfect, and beats a Tephlon or other nonstick pan in durability without trouble. In addition, unlike the nonstick pans, you do not have to worry about scratching it, no peeling of the coating, and best of all no chemical concerns leaching into your food -- there has been much debate/concern about this. I do not use nonstick pans for anything.

I hope this is helpful.

Leave it to the French to create the perfect saucepan with performance and style. The extra-thick copper-lined bottom heats fast and evenly; won't react with foods as aluminum does, and won't ever warp if left on the burner too long. The polished stainless steel will always look sharp, even with regular dishwasher cleaning. This saucepan's straight sides have a curved rim for accurately pouring a lunchtime soup into a mug or straining a beurre blanc. The handle is designed to direct the heat away and stay cool. Make room on the pot rack for hanging it within reach, because you'll definitely want to show off this imported pot. --Lynne Sampson

Sitram Catering 2.8 Liter Commercial Stainless Steel Saucepan Customer Review

A sticky label does not affect the function of this excellent saucepan. One of my favorites from my extensive Sitram Catering collection. I grab this often to heat up most liquid ingredients (e.g. broths, milk, sauces, etc.). Fits the approx. 7" burner of my ceramic cooktop perfectly. Heavy copper disk at the bottom is an excellent conductor and its weight keeps the pan from sliding all over the cooktop.

My way of removing the labels - wet label with mineral spirits then spray 409 cleaner. The glue will slightly bubble and you can remove it with a paper towel. Do this at your own risk since I do not know anything about the safety of 409 and mineral spirits reactions. This works for me for removing labels from all my Sitram cookware.

Finally, Sitram Catering is an EXCELLENT line of cookware. You won't see them listed as sponsors of many cooking shows but you'll see the cookware used in Sara Moulton's show, some of Food Network contests on TV, and in commerial kitchens. It's hard to find similar quality (especially with copper) in the same price range.

Frieling USA A32532 Sitram Catering Saucier Pan 3.35 Quart Review

French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide. Serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. On Profiserie pot and pan bottoms, an aluminum disc sheathed in steel conducts heat rapidly and uniformly. Sitram cookware goes safely into ovens and under broilers. Designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely. Bottoms don't warp. It doesn't stain and resists corrosion. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. For cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design, this cookware is for you.

Use this versatile pan--7.9 inches (20 cm) in diameter--to cook sauces, vegetables, soup, or rice or to heat liquids. Covered, it steams clams or mussels. At only 4 inches high, it's ideal for rapidly reducing sauces and its gently rounded sides facilitate stirring. In the oven (to 500 degrees F) or on top of the stove and covered, it functions as a casserole to stew or braise meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables. Its long (8-1/4 inches), hollow-oval, heat-resistant handle--notched on the end for easy hanging--keeps hands away from the heat. Pair with the Profiserie 7.9-inch stainless-steel lid or the Inox 7.9-inch Commercial stainless-steel lid. --Fred Brack

Frieling USA A32532 Sitram Catering Saucier Pan 3.35 Quart Customer Review

I checked the Sitram website for Profiserie cookware (which is the same as "Professional"; the alternate name is chosen only by retailer or distributor, and elsewhere on Amazon the same line is called Profiserie)

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:dpjBfLIEouAJ:www.sitramcookware.com/profiserie_hu.htm+Sitram+20041&hl=en&lr=lang_en

the picture Amazon shows is for a 'saucier pan'(evasee), Sitram numer 27672, 2.1 quart, not the 3.3 qt. sauce pan, Sitram 20041. They are the same size rim diameter, and use the same lid.

I own the next size smaller saucepan in this series, and it is sturdy, heats quickly and evenly, has a very stay-cool tubular handle (I have an electric coil range), is happy in the dishwasher, and pours easily without dripping. I wonder if the spot-welded handle will ever come off, but if it does, it has a lifetime guarantee. I have a bunch of other Sitram Profiserie pans that also work well. I hate electric coil cooktops, but these work well on mine. If i get an induction top some day, they will work well on that too (as they do for friends of mine on theirs)

If you don't want to buy copper or copper sandwich disc bottom pots, and don't need nonstick, I think this is as good as you can get in a saucepan from a functional point of view. I own original Calphalon, French tinned copper, Anolon non-stick, and Scanpan non-stick, for comparison. None (except the copper) heat quicker or more evenly, and the Sitram is more convenient.

Technical Details

The classic French sautéuse is one of the most versatile pans. With short, straight sides and a wide cooking area, it quickly browns ground beef or simmers a stew. No ordinary sauté pan, Sitram's line of heavy-gauge stainless-steel cookware is found in the finest restaurant kitchens in France and the United States. Hidden between layers of surgical stainless steel is copper, the best heat conductor in the world. The result is a nonreactive sauté pan that heats evenly and cooks foods reliably over gas or electric burners. A long upward-sloping handle stays cool even over high heat. Ovenproof and dishwasher-safe, the Sitram sauté pan will hold its shine long after it becomes your best-loved pan. --Lynne Sampson

Sitram Catering 4.9 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saute Pan Customer Review

I worked in restaurants for many years before going into the federal gov't, and good pans or bad pans would show their true colours over time.

For those w/ any arm/wrist/finger troubles, know that this pan may be uncomfortable to grip the handle, and may be a little too heavy. The handle is not rounded, but thin and rigid for lack of a better word. The Profiserie Sitram line is easier and "softer" to handle. However, this pan is a powerhouse, if you will, and can handle and endure heavy use in the kitchen, which is why it is "commercial grade" in both name and quality.

I would recommend using only wooden spoons and spatulas in this pan. Pure virgin olive oil is the best to use to get the pan going when sautéing, but extra virgin oo is good for lighter cooking or when simmering. Using a wooden spatula (never metal) will keep things from sticking just fine -- scrape when necessary w/ the wooden spatula. Do not forget to keep your wooden spatulas/spoons/cutting boards oiled too. (See my other reviews for suggestions on this topic)

Oil sprays are not necessary and only last so long anyway. This pan will become a valued partner in the kitchen. It is a joy to use knowing that you are using a high quality item. It is good to hand wash these pans and to use a little bit of "Bartenders Friend" to keep them shining like new. It is also good not to use high heat, but rather middle heat zones for smooth cooking.

The bottom line is that this pan is perfect, and beats a Tephlon or other nonstick pan in durability without trouble. In addition, unlike the nonstick pans, you do not have to worry about scratching it, no peeling of the coating, and best of all no chemical concerns leaching into your food -- there has been much debate/concern about this. I do not use nonstick pans for anything.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers,

Technical Details

French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade, stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide--serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. On its Profiserie line's pot and pan bottoms, an aluminum disk sheathed in steel conducts heat rapidly and uniformly. Sitram cookware also goes safely into ovens and under broilers, and, designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely. The bottoms don't warp, and this cookware is stain- and corrosion-resistant. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. This is cookware for cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design.

Braisiers such as this one offer versatility. In the oven or on top of the stove and covered with a lid (sold separately), this pan serves as a casserole to stew or braise meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables. Popular for browning meats and rapidly reducing sauces and broths, it's also a sauté pan, a deep-frying pan, and a double-handled saucepan large enough (7.9 inches in diameter by 4-1/4 inches high) to handle many home-kitchen tasks. --Fred Brack

Sitram Profiserie 3.3 Liter Commercial Stainless Steel Braisier/Stewpot Customer Review

This was the second Sitram product I bought (first was an 8" frypan) and I use this handy little pot more than anything else in my cookware cupboard. As I live alone, I don't need a large pot most of the time for soups, chili, cooking vegetables, braising, etc., and this is a perfect size for one or two (maybe three or four) people. I love the fact that I don't have to turn the heat on high to get it to warm up. I don't worry about burning things in it because of the even, steady distribution from the aluminum core. It is easy to clean, and the handles don't get hot. It is better than a saucepan because the long handle on a saucepan takes up more room on the stove and in storage. It is a dream to clean, and if a few discolorations from heat appear, they can be erased in a swipe of Barkeeper's Friend. For that once-in-a-while need for a larger pot, I also have a 6 qt. size. Love it. Love all of them.

This large frying pan is from a line of the most distinguished cookware in and outside of France. Professionals rely on the superior heat conduction and durability. For the home cook, the surgical quality stainless steel offers a lot of eye appeal along with high performance. The warp-proof pan bottom is three layers thick with a thermic copper core, the best metal for conducting heat from the flame to the food. The long handle stays cool even over high heat and it's welded to withstand the oven, broiler, and dishwasher cleaning. A smaller handle on the opposite side helps in maneuvering this wide-bodied pan. --Lynne Sampson

Frieling USA A18369 Sitram Catering Frypan with Helper Handle, 13.5 Inch diameter Customer Review

The Sitram Catering line is among the world's finest. The pots are virtually indestructible (anything can break during shipping and it means zero about the brand) they are super easy to clean and they retain heat better than anything out there, even Le Creuset. The line comes in very small to very large sizes, something you will not see with other brands such as All-Clad. You have a very smart lid system which will allow you to have many pieces that share the same lid if you want.

I could not give a product a higher recommendation. Sitram is the bomb.

Sitram Catering 1.6 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saucier Pan Review

Special Price at Amazon Click to See Price

French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade, stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide--serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. On the Inox line's pot and pan bottoms, a disk of copper, cookware's best heat conductor, sheathed in steel conducts heat rapidly and uniformly. Sitram cookware goes safely into ovens and under broilers, and, designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely. The bottoms don't warp, and this cookware is stain- and corrosion-resistant. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. This is cookware for cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design.

A chef's pan has rounded rather than straight sides like a saucepan, giving it greater capacity than a saucepan with the same size bottom and adding versatility. It's better for braising meats, poultry, seafood, or vegetables, and, with a greater surface area, it also reduces liquids more rapidly. Its rounded sides facilitate the traditional C-shaped flipping motion, making a chef's pan ideal for rapidly sautéing vegetables or browning small pieces of meat or poultry. At 7.1 inches in diameter by 2-3/4-inches high, this chef's pan will satisfy many home-kitchen needs. Its handle has a hole for hanging on a hook or peg. --Fred Brack

Sitram Profiserie 9.5 Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Customer Review

I've been using Sitram for several years, and I've never had any problems. The stuff is built for the food industry - no frills and no fancy packaging, but it will stand up to use and abuse.

The company changed hands a couple of years ago, and for a little while during the transition their customer service was suffering. Don't let that detract you from buying this cookware.

(My only beef is that they've discontinued the Magnum Pro line, which was the only copper-based line that also worked on induction. Dear Sitram/Freiling folks - please, oh please bring it back).

"Love these pans. They make cooking a pleasure. Got tired of throwing out ever more expensive department store nonstick pans. Love using stainless spatuals and whisks. Go on, use your fork. The best part is using the stainless scrubber, that comes with the pan, to swipe off anything that dares to stick. HAHA. ... or just throw the pan in the dishwasher.

If you've been cooking with cheap pans, you will need to use a lower heat setting than you are used to. If you get the frying pan, you are going to need to preheat the pan and use a little butter or something, especially for eggs or crepes."

This durable, commercial-quality stockpot is suitable for restaurant and catering use, but also comes in handy when you need to cook for a crowd. Fill it with soup, stew, lobsters, corn on the cob--whatever you need for that family reunion or holiday dinner. This pot can be used on any stove--its tall, narrow design means it will fit on your burners (but it may squeeze out other pots). The stainless-steel and aluminum construction provides even heat distribution. The angled handles--which are welded to the pot--make it easy to lift and carry, and the curved rim facilitates pouring. --Jennifer Harris

Sitram Profiserie 31.7 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Stockpot Customer Review

"I wanted a very large pot to make batches of homemade soup for freezing and for cooking dozens of ears of corn at the summer cookouts. This pot suits my purpose. It is a beautiful, heavy duty stainless steel. It may be a little bit pricey especially since you have to purchase the lid seperately, but this pot gets an A+ for quality."

Technical Details

French manufacturer Sitram produces commercial-grade, stainless-steel cookware for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchens worldwide--serious home cooks also use this cookware to advantage. On the Inox line's pot and pan bottoms, a disk of copper--cookware's best heat conductor--sheathed in steel conducts heat rapidly and uniformly. Sitram cookware goes safely into ovens and under broilers, and, designed to withstand rough treatment, its bright, shiny appearance lasts indefinitely. The bottoms don't warp, and this cookware is stain- and corrosion-resistant. And with no inside rivets to clean around, it scrubs up hygienically and painlessly. This is cookware for cooks who value heavy, bang-around durability over fancy design.

With a copper-core bottom that quickly and evenly spreads heat, this saucepan is ideal for preparing roux-based sauces or gravies, because the roux's color can be controlled so precisely. At 6.3 inches in diameter by 3-1/4 inches high, it's a basic, workhorse pan upon which to build a well-equipped kitchen. Its handle has a hole for hanging on hook or peg. --Fred Brack

Sitram Catering 1.4 Liters Commercial Stainless Steel Saucepan Customer Review

"This is a very nice saucepan for the price. The copper disk provides even heating across the bottom, and rapid response to changes in the flame. The handle, which does not stay particularly cool during cooking, is welded to the pan, so there are no rivets to complicate cleaning. The top of the pan is rolled into a lip for pouring, which works well. The saucepan seems durable and well-constructed.

Because the copper is confined to a disk, and does not extend up the sides, there can be some trouble with scorching at the bottom circumference of the pan, where the disk ends. This resulted in some minor sticking when I cooked risotto. Still, I recommend the pan as a good value in professional-quality cookware."

Technical Details

The classic French sautéuse is one of the most versatile pans. With short, straight sides and a wide cooking area, it quickly sautés garlic and shallots or braises coq au vin. No ordinary sauté pan, Sitram's line of heavy-gauge stainless-steel cookware is found in the finest restaurant kitchens in France and the United States. Hidden between layers of surgical stainless steel is copper, the best heat conductor in the world. The result is a nonreactive sauté pan that heats evenly and cooks foods reliably over gas or electric burners. A long, upward-sloping handle stays cool even over high heat. Ovenproof and dishwasher-safe, the Sitram sauté pan will hold its shine long after it becomes your best-loved pan. --Lynne Sampson

Sitram Catering 3.8 Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saute Pan Customer Review

"I worked in restaurants for many years before going into the federal gov't, and good pans or bad pans would show their true colours over time.

For those w/ any arm/wrist/finger troubles, know that this pan may be uncomfortable to grip the handle, and may be a little too heavy. The handle is not rounded, but thin and rigid for lack of a better word. The Profiserie Sitram line is easier and "softer" to handle. However, this pan is a powerhouse, if you will, and can handle and endure heavy use in the kitchen, which is why it is "commercial grade" in both name and quality.

I would recommend using only wooden spoons and spatulas in this pan. Pure virgin olive oil is the best to use to get the pan going when sautéing, but extra virgin oo is good for lighter cooking or when simmering. Using a wooden spatula (never metal) will keep things from sticking just fine -- scrape when necessary w/ the wooden spatula. Do not forget to keep your wooden spatulas/spoons/cutting boards oiled too. (See my other reviews for suggestions on this topic)

Oil sprays are not necessary and only last so long anyway. This pan will become a valued partner in the kitchen. It is a joy to use knowing that you are using a high quality item. It is good to hand wash these pans and to use a little bit of "Bartenders Friend" to keep them shining like new. It is also good not to use high heat, but rather middle heat zones for smooth cooking.

The bottom line is that this pan is perfect, and beats a Tephlon or other nonstick pan in durability without trouble. In addition, unlike the nonstick pans, you do not have to worry about scratching it, no peeling of the coating, and best of all no chemical concerns leaching into your food -- there has been much debate/concern about this. I do not use nonstick pans for anything.

I hope this is helpful.
