The saucepan is one of the ultimate cookware items available at Milton ProCook for any home kitchen. It allows you to prepare quality food with much simpler effort and easier cooking. A saucepan can perform various purposes and tasks, such as preparing pasta, rice, and oatmeal, making sauces, gravies, and soups, boiling vegetables, and more.
Even heat distribution and responsive temperature control make cooking in a saucepan reliable and consistent. Its versatility also reduces the need for multiple pans, making it an essential addition to any kitchen.
What is a Saucepan?
A saucepan is a medium-sized cooking pan with high, vertical sides and a slightly rounded bottom. It usually has a lid and a single long handle on one side. Saucepans are generally 1 to 2 quarts in volume; unlike a frying pan with low sloping sides, which helps food evaporate fast and sears, a saucepan's straight sides enable one to make sauces and soups and boil foods in copious liquid. The lid allows steam to trap inside, so the food is cooked faster with nutrients retained.

How to Select the Right Sauce Pan
With different types of sauce pans available, you must consider these factors before buying one sauce pan online:
-
Size: Saucepans typically range from 1 to 3 quarts. Choose size based on your daily cooking need and family size.
-
Material: Stainless steel is extremely durable but requires seasoning for a non-stick effect. Non-stick saucepans offer easy cooking and cleaning. Triply material combines even heating with low maintenance.
-
Handle: Check if the handle has a good grip and stays cool during cooking. Riveted handles last longer.
-
Lid: Glass lids allow monitoring of food without lifting. Well-fitting lids trap moisture and nutrients. A stainless steel saucepan with lid or a nonstick saucepan with a lid ensures durability and style.
-
Induction-Compatibility: For induction stovetops, choose saucepans with magnetic stainless steel saucepan base.
-
Cost: The prices of saucepans are also an essential consideration in finding a piece that’s functional and budget-friendly at the same time.
Care and Maintenance Tips
Follow these simple practices to increase your Milton ProCook saucepan's longevity:
-
Cooking on high heat can cause food to burn and stick to the base of your saucepan, which can damage the coating or surface. To maintain the longevity of your Milton ProCook saucepan, always opt for low to medium-heat settings.
-
If you leave your saucepan empty on the flame for too long, it can overheat and become distorted. The heat may cause the material to lose its original shape or even damage its nonstick coating. Always ensure that there is some content (whether oil, water, or food) in the saucepan before placing it on the stove.
-
After cooking, let your saucepan cool naturally before you wash it. Immersing a hot pan directly into cold water can cause it to expand or contract rapidly, damaging the metal or coating.
-
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing tools, which could scratch or damage the nonstick coating. Instead, use mild dish soap and warm water to wash the saucepan, along with a soft sponge.
FAQs:
1. What can I cook in a saucepan?
A kitchen saucepan set can be used to prepare various dishes, including pasta, rice, sauces, gravies, soups, stews, vegetables, porridge, custards, and jam.
2. What is the difference between a saucepan and a frying pan?
A frying pan or skillet has gently sloping sides and is used for quick frying, searing meats, making omelettes, etc. A saucepan has straight upright sides and allows cooking food in abundant liquid. The best cooking saucepans can be used for multiple purposes like boiling, simmering, or making sauces.
3. Are Milton ProCook saucepans available with lids?
Yes, our saucepans have well-fitting glass or stainless steel lids. The sauce pan with lid allows faster cooking by trapping moisture and heat. If you opt for a glass lid, you can monitor food without lifting the lid.
4. How to clean burnt food from a saucepan?
Soak the pan in hot water for 20-30 minutes to loosen the burnt deposits. Use a non-abrasive sponge or soft brush to remove the food gently. For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water and scrub gently before rinsing. Ensure the non-stick coating is intact after cleaning.
5. Can you use a saucepan as a frying pan?
It is not ideal to shallow or deep fry foods in a saucepan as the straight sides do not allow excess moisture to evaporate easily. For pan frying, use a skillet or frying pan instead. But in a pinch, you can sauté vegetables or pan-fry some foods in a saucepan.
