Tramontina Covered 3-Quart Saucepan

what experts say

• >“This pan delivers fast and even heating thanks to its triple-ply construction: The aluminum core brings quick heat conduction, and the inner and outer layers of stainless steel help ensure consistent heat distribution. The rounded interior makes it easy to whisk and stir in the pan, so it's a good choice for rouxs and risottos.”— Good Housekeeping Institute
• >“This isn't the cheapest saucepan we tested, but the Tramontina performed really well for its price, outdoing pots that cost twice as much. Browned butter, perfectly cooked rice, silky pastry cream—this pan does it all, without any sticking or burnt-on bits.”— Serious Eats (Budget Cookware)
• >“The Tramontina performed on par or even better than some of the pans that cost twice as much. The handle stayed cool and has a slightly rounded shape that's comfortable to hold. The pan itself cooked evenly with no hot spots, and the lid handle didn't heat up while cooking, making it easy to take on and off.”— Serious Eats (Best Saucepans)
