Sauté Pans

Many people think of sauté pans as just another frying pan, but sauté skillets are distinctly different in their construction and purpose. Featuring wide, flat bottoms and straight, relatively tall sides, sauté pans have a slightly larger cooking surface than classic skillets and help contain liquid better, too. And thanks to their fitted tops, sauté pans make great options for simmering and braising—so you can sear meat then add braising liquid directly to the pan.

Pans for sautéing are typically crafted from stainless steel, like much of our collection from All-Clad, which is known for its stainless steel sauté pans and cookware, but you'll also find Le Creuset cast iron sauté pans, and non-stick ceramic-coated versions from Caraway and Greenpan. And with open stock sauté pans available in a variety of sizes, plus cookware sets that include sauté skillets, finding the perfect options for the way you cook is simple.

For even more pots and pans, shop our cookware collection—where you'll find sauté pans alongside saucepans, Dutch ovens, and more.
