We tested nine popular saucepans to find out which ones performed the best, were the most comfortable to use, and were the easiest to clean.
, can be challenging. With taller, more narrow saucepans, stirring was harder. The upright whisk had difficulty getting into the corners of the pan and snagging, splashing the pastry cream as we stirred.
Wider saucepans were more user-friendly, allowing us to angle and tilt the whisk handle lower so we could maneuver into the sharp corners and stir and scrape the pastry cream. Clean-up was also easier, as the wider silhouette made reaching in with a sponge to scrub the sides and bottom of the pan a cinch. The Tramontina, Zwilling, and All-Clad, were eight inches from lip to lip. In comparison, some of our least favorites were 7 1/4 to 7 3/4 inches wide.
It was also important that the handles didn’t get too hot. While most stayed cool, some got quite hot, which made maneuvering the pan difficult when picking up or pouring.Finally, though it seems like a minor quibble, a couple of pans had handles positioned slightly lower on the pot. This resulted in the inside rivets being lower as well, which made cleaning more difficult, as food got trapped more easily around the rivets.
Beyond the shape, the handle on the lid needed to stay cool. Ideally, you’d be able to cook a pot of rice or boil water and then remove the lid without a towel, pot holder, orWhat's the Difference Between a Tri-Ply and a Five-Ply Saucepan?More than half of the pans we tested were tri-ply, meaning they were constructed with three layers of metal. Tri-ply cookware usually has an outer and inner stainless steel layer, and a more heat-conductive metal sandwiched between them.
But there were a few non-tri-ply pans we tested, too. This included the Farberware, Material, All-Clad D5, and Avacraft. Five-ply, as you can guess, means there are five layers of metal, often more aluminum and stainless steel to help diffuse the heat. Five-ply pans often take more time to heat up and weigh more, but the extra layers of metal distribute heat better and are more durable.
