Advantages of stainless steel in sauce preparation

GREDIL Saucepans with Lid — stainless steel is the optimal material for saucepans and delicate preparation. Non-reactive material — stainless steel does not react with acidic or alkaline foods; does not affect sauce flavour; safe for food contact; see GREDIL Large Pots with Lid. Even heat distribution — stainless steel with an aluminium or copper base provides better heat distribution than pure stainless steel. Hygiene — a smooth stainless steel surface does not retain food residues; easy to clean after each use. Durability — stainless steel saucepans last for years without corrosion or deformation; see GREDIL Pots.

Using saucepans in a professional kitchen

GREDIL Saucepans with Lid — a saucepan is a versatile tool that is useful for much more than just sauce preparation. Sauces and bases — basic sauces (béchamel, hollandaise, velouté) are prepared in small quantities; a saucepan with lid keeps the sauce warm between servings. Butter preparation and melting — melting butter for glazes or frying; precise temperature control prevents overheating; see GREDIL Medium Pots with Lid. Dessert preparation — melting chocolate, making caramel, cooking creams; precise temperature control is crucial in pastry. Blanching — short blanching of small quantities of vegetables or meat.

How to choose the right saucepan size

GREDIL Saucepans with Lid — choosing the right pot size is important for efficient cooking. Capacity based on serving quantity — the pot should be 1/2 to 2/3 full for optimal cooking; an overfilled pot spills, an empty one overheats the food; for a small restaurant (20–30 seats): a 2–5 L saucepan is sufficient for most sauces; see GREDIL Pots. Hob burner size — the pot base size should match the burner size; a burner too small for a large pot results in uneven heat distribution. Multiple saucepans in parallel — several saucepans can operate simultaneously in a professional kitchen; it is recommended to have at least 2–3 saucepans in different sizes.
