The pan that is on the hob most days, and the least considered · review
An uncoated 16 cm (6.3 in) stainless saucepan with measuring marks inside and a wide pouring rim — the two features that make a small pan pleasant rather than merely adequate.
What we would actually buy The interior scale earns its place daily. The absent volume figure on the listing is an odd omission for a pan with markings inside it.
A 16 cm (6.3 in) uncoated Crominox 18/10 saucepan with measuring marks inside and a wide pouring rim, dishwasher safe and sold without a lid.
Marked inside the pan. Pour to the line rather than measuring in a jug and transferring, and watch a reduction fall against a fixed reference. It is the feature that separates this from the pan next to it in the hub.
Nothing to degrade, dishwasher safe with no consequences, and the usual requirement: gentler heat for milk and sauces, because there is no coating buffering the metal.
A volume figure and an oven limit. A pan with a measuring scale inside that does not publish its capacity is a small oversight in an otherwise careful listing.
On sale at around $68 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
Measuring without a jug: pour to the line rather than measuring elsewhere and transferring. For sauces and reductions it also lets you see how far the liquid has fallen.
On a small pan, a great deal — it is the difference between pouring a sauce and dribbling it down the outside of the pan.
