A saute pan is a common element of cooking utensils and is a pan with very high sides and a long handle (or two on the sides). To some extent, it would be fair to compare it not only with a frying pan, but also with a saucepan, so the saucepan occupies an intermediate place between these devices.
Mostly a stewpan is used to stew hot dishes that need to be “shaken” during cooking: these can be not only vegetable side dishes and meat, but also dough products such as noodles and some types of pasta.
The best manufacturers of saucepans
Saucepans are often included in ready-made cookware sets from well-known manufacturers specializing in kitchen utensils for home and professional use. The list includes dozens of brands, but we will list only the most famous (and verified) of them.

Kukmara - is not yet the most famous on the market, but a reliable manufacturer of dishes from Russia: the history of the company includes more than 70 years of production experience. The assortment includes more than 800 different products for the kitchen and everyday life, including stewpans.
Nadoba is a Czech company producing kitchen knives, compact multifunctional pots, pans and, of course, stewpans. The brand's products are distinguished by the fact that they are suitable for any stoves: both gas and induction.
Rondell is a brand that positions itself as a manufacturer of dishes for the "future culinary arts". Not only saute pans, but in general all products of the company justify this title due to the high quality of the materials used, ergonomics and innovative design of models.
Swiss Diamond - under this Swiss brand with an elegant name, pans, pots and stewpans are produced, which are produced according to a “special technology”, patented back in 1991. Obviously, the technology is justified: the products receive high reviews at international fairs and European competitions.
Tefal - a lot of people have heard about this brand, as well as about their legendary motto “you can't do without your ideas”. Tefal is a French company but has an international profile: their home appliances and high quality non-stick cookware are known all over the world.

Important tips when choosing a saucepan
In order to choose the best saucepan for the kitchen, it is not enough to look at customer reviews - you need to study in detail the main criteria and functional characteristics of the model, which directly determine how easy and convenient it will be for you to manage it during the cooking process.
First of all, pay attention to diameter saucepan. Today, models from 10 to 70 cm in diameter are on the market: the smallest ones are suitable for making liquid sauces, and the large ones are for sautéing and stewing second courses. For home use, a diameter in the range of 20-30 cm is considered optimal.
Material, from which the saucepan is cast also plays an important role: it can be aluminum, ceramics, copper, steel or cast iron. Traditionally, ceramic stewpans are considered the most durable, but also the most expensive. At the bottom position is aluminum - a cheap, but unreliable material.
Just one is not enough non-stick coating - you need to pay attention to its type. It can be diamond, teflon, ceramic, granite, etc. - each has its own characteristics of operation and maintenance.
Finally, take a look at additional features: this is the presence of a heat-insulated handle, admissibility using a gas pan / induction cooker, as well as the ability to wash it in a dishwasher.
