The sauteuse with flared sides is probably the best format for anyone who works 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. 4.7 litres is a substantial format that holds a whole chicken, a leg of lamb or a large quantity of vegetables.
Hestan's NanoBond bonds thousands of titanium-based nano-layers 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: acidic reductions and wine-based stocks can be cooked without the surface reacting and without metallic flavour being released. The titanium surface is entirely free from synthetic agents. Metal utensils and metal whisks are permitted without risk of surface damage.
The construction has three layers with a ProCore core of pure aluminium. Hestan states that the ProCore core provides 35 percent better heat conductivity compared to other cookware with the same construction. Even heating and fast response to temperature changes. Maximum temperature: 565 degrees Celsius. Hob to oven without restriction. Dishwasher safe with sealed edges. Comes with a lid. Capacity: 4.7 litres. Works on all heat sources including induction. Made by Hestan.
