Silampos TriPly Saute Casserole with Lid / 26cm / 4.3L

A versatile, two-handled saute pan that’s dishwasher- and oven-safe, with efficient heating from base to edge. —DETAILS— Made in Portugal since 1951, Silampos pans anticipate the needs of home cooks. This saute casserole is clad, from base to rim, with three layers of metal: non-reactive and induction-compatible stainless steel on the outside with a core of heat-responsive aluminium. This construction heats food uniformly and retains that heat well. The stainless steel is polished on the outside for a mirror finish and brushed on the inside. The oversized handles make it easy to manoeuvre and fit in the oven (where it is heat-safe up to 200C) and a curved rim prevents liquids from trailing along the side of the pan when pouring. The tight-fitting lid includes a tall and wide handle that’s easy to lift. This pan is dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing will extend its durability. The extra surface area of this saute pan is useful for browning meat, vegetables, and other ingredients, while the tall sides also make it suitable for cooking braises and curries.
