Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 2 3/8-quart Sauce Pan
Two and a half quarts is the everyday sauce pan size: enough for a pot of rice, a batch of polenta or blanched green beans for four. The Excellence version has straight sides and a heavy sandwich base that holds a steady simmer without hot spots.The welded, watertight handle stays cool on the stovetop. For a smaller pan, see the 1 3/4-quart; for a larger one, the 4-quart. The matching lid is the 18 cm Excellence lid.
What Fits in 2 3/8 QuartsThis capacity holds a pound of potatoes for mashing, a pot of rice for four or a double batch of custard for ice cream. The straight sides keep evaporation steady, which is what a recipe assumes when it gives a simmering time. Because the base is a full sandwich of stainless steel and aluminum, a thick pastry cream can be stirred over medium heat without the bottom catching, and the pan can go from a gas burner to an induction hob without any change in how it cooks.

Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 4-quart Sauce Pan
The 4-quart pan is the largest Excellence sauce pan, sized for a pot of soup for four, a batch of mashed potatoes or a pound of pasta for a small family. It is a good single sauce pan for a kitchen that has room for only one.The 20 cm base is wide enough for reducing stock quickly, and the aluminum core keeps the bottom from scorching when the pan is full. The matching lid is the 20 cm Excellence lid, and a 7 7/8-inch sauté pan fits the same diameter.
One Pan for Many JobsFour quarts is the size that boils a pound of pasta for a small family, blanches green beans for a dinner party or holds a batch of soup. With the Excellence 20 cm lid, it also steams vegetables. Its 20 cm diameter is shared with the 7 7/8-inch sauté pan, so one lid covers both, which keeps a small kitchen’s cupboard simpler.

Matfer Bourgeat Excellence 7 7/8-inch Sauté Pan
