  • Demeyere Industry 5 3.5-Quart Saucier with Lid

    A saucier like this 3.5-quart Industry 5 has a narrow base and wide, sloping walls that meet the bottom in a curve, so a whisk reaches every part of the pan. That shape suits risotto, pastry cream, polenta and pan sauces that need constant stirring, and the wide top speeds reduction. When you toast rice for risotto and then stir it for twenty minutes, the sloped sides make the work easier on the wrist.Demeyere’s European catalog names it a conical sauteuse, and some retailers sell it as an essential pan. The cladding follows the sloped walls to the rim, so the curve of the pan heats as evenly as the base.Customers ask whether a saucier can replace a saucepan. For stirred dishes it does the job better, though the straight-sided Industry 5 3.2-quart saucepan is easier for boiling and storing leftovers. The Atlantis 3.5-quart saucier is the seven-layer version. Our Demeyere cookware guide compares both collections. Learn More
