The pan that is on the hob most days, and the least considered · review
The only saucepan here that arrives with a lid, and the lid strains: a glass straining lid with a steam vent, over a pan with pouring spouts on both sides.
What we would actually buy The lid makes this the most useful small pan in the hub, and it is the only one that comes with one.
A 16 cm (6.3 in) stainless saucepan with a glass straining lid and a steam vent, pouring spouts on both sides, and a strong bonded induction base.
Straining lid plus spouts means water leaves the pan without a colander, from either side. On a 16 cm (6.3 in) pan that is used for rice, grains and small quantities of pasta, this is used constantly.
Tefal states ten years when the item is sold and dispatched by Amazon, with a third-party seller’s own terms otherwise. That is an honest condition and it is easy to miss.
An oven limit for either pan or lid. Glass lids are always the lower of the two.
Not found on the American Amazon store, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.
Tefal states ten years when the pan is sold and dispatched by Amazon, and notes that a third-party seller’s terms apply otherwise. That distinction is worth checking on the listing you buy from.
No figure is published. Glass lids generally carry a lower limit than the pan they cover, so treat the lid as the constraint whenever a recipe says to cover and transfer.
