Hybrid Deep Sauté Pan with Lid, 5.5-Qt O4

There’s a lot to love about this deep sauté pan. Its depth – a full 3.5 inches – means it won’t meet a chicken thigh it can’t sear and braise. At a foot wide, it’s about the size of a typical skillet, but because of its tri-ply construction – stainless steel enveloping aluminum – it’s light. (Not cartoonishly heavy, like cast-iron.) You’re going to want to keep this one-pot meal workhorse on the closest burner for searing, braising, frying and simmering: Its high sides will help keep your kitchen spatter-free. We love a sauté pan with a lid, and this one’s glass lid employs durable, high-quality tempered glass that you can peer through to check on your Sunday sauce.
