Technical Details
The best kitchens worldwide rely on the craftsmanship and integrity of this heavy-gauge stainless-steel saucepan with over a 5-quart capacity. Solidly engineered to conduct heat quickly and evenly over any heat source, the Profiserie saucepan is uniquely designed for induction burners, an electromagnetic cooking technology. But this exceptional pan with a shining polished finish performs perfectly on electric or gas burners as well. Not only will this pan look beautiful for years to come, it also won't react with any foods to taint a long-simmered tomato sauce or delicate fish fumet. The smooth and comfortable handle is welded so that it can be safely put into a 500-degree oven. Though you might be tempted to baby it, the dishwasher won't ever dull this pan's shine. --Lynne Sampson
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.
