The sauteuse with flared sides is probably the best format for anyone who works a great deal with sauces and reductions. The flared sides expose more of the liquid surface to the air and speed up evaporation, make it easier to work with a whisk into every angle of the pan and allow you to pour off the sauce cleanly without dripping along the sides. Combined with a lid the format also offers the possibility of starting cooking over high heat on the hob, adding liquid, putting on the lid and finishing in the oven. 3.3 litres is a format that holds a batch of stock, a large emulsion sauce or a chicken.
The NanoBond process from Hestan bonds thousands of titanium-based nano-layers directly to the surface of 18/10 steel at a molecular level via a vacuum chamber process in an oxygen-free environment at extremely high temperature. Titanium and chromium-based alloys are permanently fused with the steel structure and create a surface four times harder than the underlying 18/10 steel, non-porous and non-reactive. Titanium does not react with acids, fats or proteins. This is directly relevant for sauteuse work: acids in reductions and stocks can simmer for a long time without the surface reacting. The titanium surface is free from PFAS and synthetic coating agents. Metal utensils and metal whisks are permitted.
