A good quality sauce pan should have a heavy bottom for even heat distribution, sturdy construction to withstand frequent use, a comfortable handle for easy maneuvering, and a tight-fitting lid to retain moisture. It should also be made of durable materials, such as stainless steel or high-grade aluminum, that can withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion.
The most common size for a sauce pan in a commercial kitchen is typically between 2 to 4 quarts. This range offers versatility for various cooking tasks, from preparing small batches of sauce to cooking side dishes. However, larger sizes up to 8 quarts are also popular for batch cooking in busy restaurant kitchens.
To clean and maintain sauce pans, adhere to the following:
- Wash pans with hot, soapy water after each use.
- Dry pans thoroughly to prevent water spots.
- For stubborn food residue, soak the pan in warm water before cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steel wool on stainless-steel pans to prevent scratching.
- For aluminum pans, hand wash and avoid dishwashers to maintain their finish.
- Regularly inspect the pan handles and rivets for tightness.
- Store pans properly to prevent damage.
