Why we chose it
  • Heat Up Quickly & Evenly – This 3-quart small pot with lid is made of professional-grade material that conducts heat quickly and evenly and has no hot spot. No chipping, no peeling, or flaking. Regardless of whether it is cooking sauce or soup, the rounded bottom design makes the heat evenly distributed, keeping the food delicious to the greatest extent. When you are hungry, this saucepan will be the best helper for you.
  • Superior Nonstick Coating – CSK Nonstick Sauce Pan coating is divided into Heat-Resist layer, Reinforced layer, Anti-Scratch layer, Nonstick Coating layer and they are PFOA/ PFOS/ PFAS free. The advanced nonstick coating could resist scratches. Furthermore with this type of pan, you can often reduce the amount of oil that you use. Because of the nonstick coating, food could slide right off the surface so that cleaning up would be simple.
  • Ergonomic Bakelite Handle – The bakelite handles feel like wood to touch and the ergonomically designed provides you with a secure and comfortable grip. It can resist high temperatures up to 320 . Better to stay cool than metal ones and bring you a comfortable and safe cooking experience. When you need to cook for a long time such as cooking meatball, this 3.3 lb lightweight pot could effectively reduce your arms sore.
  • Multiple Usage Saucepan — CSK saucepan is perfect for cooking/reheating vegetables, sauces, pasta, or soup. A saucepan excels at cooking anything that’s mostly liquid. This means it’s great for stewing, simmering, making soups, and, unsurprisingly, making sauces like pasta sauce. This pan is not ideal for making stocks or large quantities of things like soup or stew. That’s what the larger stockpot is best for. However, for making smaller quantities, a saucepan is the perfect tool.
  • Breathable glass Lid & Pour Spouts – Pan also needs breathing! Pan lid could keep the heat in food when steaming or simmering. The vent hole allows steam to escape and effectively prevents food from spilling so as to make the cooking process safer. At the same time, it seals in the flavor and nutrients for healthier and better-tasting food. Moreover, the two Pour Spouts can effectively prevent the food from sticking to the pot wall or sprinkling on the counter, making it simple to pour food.

All-Clad - 8701004398 All-Clad 4203 Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Sauce Pan with Lid / Cookware, 3-Quart, Silver -
When it comes to making sauce, gravy, or other liquidy foods, the saucepan is your go-to. Its high, straight sides lend itself well for frequent stirring or whisking that comes with making sauces, limiting spilling. And the smaller surface area holds heat well and limits evaporation. As part of our D3 Collection, this Saucepan features a bonded tri-ply construction made with a responsive aluminum core pressed together with 2 layers of durable, stainless steel all the way around the surface, for fast and even heat. At 3 quarts in size, it’s just right for making sauces, heating liquids, cooking food in liquids and reheating. To keep your All-Clad looking brand new, we recommend washing your cookware with a soap and sponge instead of the dishwasher. Like all our bonded cookware, it's handmade in the USA at our Canonsburg, PA factory with ultra-durable materials that'll last a lifetime and never go out of style. A flat, stainless-steel lid is included to lock in moisture. Handles & handle loops are made in China.
