Saucepans FAQs

How should saucepans be stored?
To keep your saucepans in great condition, you can store them in a dry place with plenty of airflow. If you’re stacking them, place a soft cloth or paper towel between each pan to prevent scratches. Hanging racks are also a great option for easy access and to save cupboard space.

How long does a saucepan last?
The lifespan of a saucepan depends on the material and how well it’s cared for. High-quality stainless steel and cast iron saucepans can last decades, while non-stick saucepans typically last 3 to 5 years before the coating starts to wear down. Proper cleaning and storage will extend the life of any saucepan.

What are the features of a saucepan?
- A good saucepan should feature qualities such as the ones listed below:
- High sides to prevent splattering and allow for slow, even cooking.
- A sturdy handle for a comfortable grip and easy maneuverability.
- A well-fitting lid to retain heat and moisture while cooking.
- Durable materials, such as stainless steel, aluminium, or non-stick coatings, to suit different cooking needs.

How often should you replace saucepans?
You should replace a saucepan when it shows signs of significant wear, such as warping, deep scratches, or flaking non-stick coatings. If food starts sticking to the surface despite proper use, it may be time for an upgrade. Stainless steel and cast iron saucepans, however, can last for years with proper care.

What’s the difference between a saucepan and a pan?
A saucepan has high, straight sides and a long handle, making it ideal for boiling, simmering, and making sauces. A pan (such as a frying pan) has lower, sloped sides, which allow for better evaporation and browning, making it better for frying and sauteing.

How should I care for a saucepan?
The following care instructions can be followed to properly care for a saucepan:
- Hand wash when possible: While many saucepans are dishwasher safe, hand washing extends their lifespan.
- Use the right utensils: Avoid metal utensils on non-stick saucepans to prevent scratches.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes: Let the pan cool before washing to prevent warping.
- For stubborn stains: Soak in warm soapy water or use a gentle baking soda paste to remove residue without scratching.
