A straight-sided pan with high sides, a lid and a helper handle is the format professional kitchens choose when a dish needs to sear, simmer and be served in the same vessel. The helper handle is not an optional luxury but a safety solution: a 26 cm pan full of osso buco or poached chicken breasts is heavy enough to object to a single handle.
In CopperBond construction with five bonded layers and a core of pure copper, the same material Thomas Keller uses in his restaurants The French Laundry and Per Se. Copper responds to temperature changes faster than aluminium or stainless steel, which provides precisely the control required when simmering a sauce that must not boil. Handmade in Italy, induction-safe, oven-safe to 315 degrees. Lifetime guarantee. Hand-washing recommended.
