Sitram Catering 4.9-Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saute Pan
Best Product From Sitram
Why buy this?
This is a large (11" diameter) saute pan that will brown and evenly cook almost anything you can get in it. It is a very heavy (a desirable attribute) pan. So, if you plan to toss your food while sauteing, you'll need both hands. Almost all of the exposed parts are made of high quality stainless steel, so it's non-reactive (ok for acidic foodstuff) and can be cleaned effortlessly with a Scotch-Brite pad and Bar Keeper's Friend detergent.
The copper disc (~2.5 mm thick) in the bottom of the pan, will give you the responsiveness that you expect from a copper pan without burning a hole in your pocket. If you are sauteing at a continuously high heat, then a similar pan in the Sitram Profiserie line which uses a thick aluminum disk (instead of copper) might be a better buy because it is cheaper, a bit lighter (easier to toss) and may hold heat better when dumping a lot of cold food in it (especially if your burner does not put out a lot of BTU).

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...
Sitram is Superb!
I've always wanted some Sitram cookware, but it wasn't until amazon.com offered pieces at deep discounts that I took the plunge and bought some saute pans. Rarely does something so totally exceed my expectations, but Sitram does! The deep sides of the pan keep all the activity of sauteeing in the pan and the perfectly even conduction of heat means my husband's sublime risotto got even better! Hoping amazon offers more of this wonderful cookware soon!
