Babish Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pan, 5-Quart

The Binging With Babish 5QT Covered Sauté Pan is an essential addition to your kitchen. This large, versatile sauté pan, made of durable tri-ply stainless steel, distributes heat evenly, making it ideal for a variety of cooking tasks, from browning and braising to boiling and blanching. It looks, feels, and performs robustly, and is hands-down the most-used stovetop tool in the author's kitchen.

For oven safety and stovetop use, the tri-ply stainless steel construction is oven-safe up to 450°F and compatible with all cooktops and heat sources. To prevent scratching, it is recommended to lift, not drag, the cookware off the stovetop. The pan should not be used in the microwave or broiler.

Before the first use, the pan should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. To ensure even heat distribution and prevent food from sticking, the pan should be preheated on low to medium heat for a couple of minutes before adding cold oil to cover the cooking surface. When cooking, it is important not to disturb the food too much, allowing the natural sugars to caramelize and release naturally. If the heat is too high, sticking may occur, so it is recommended to use low to medium heat, except for boiling. Oven mitts should be used when removing the pan from the oven, as the handles will be hot.

The pan is safe to use with metal, wood, plastic, and heat-resistant nylon tools, but knives, sharp kitchen tools, or an electric hand mixer should be avoided, as they may scratch the lining.

For cleaning, the tri-ply cookware is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing with warm, soapy water is recommended. To remove stuck-on foods, the pan can be filled with a small amount of water and placed over low heat until the food is softened and easy to remove. Alternatively, a specialist stainless steel cookware cleaning product can be used, following the instructions on the label.

Discoloration may occur from using too high heat, and this can be removed by rubbing the cookware with a cloth dampened with lemon juice or white vinegar, or by using a specialist stainless steel cookware cleaning product.
