2. Features of a Saute Pan:

The Wide Flat Bottom: This enables uniform distribution of heat and prevents uneven cooking. It also allows us to cook food faster without actually burning it. A flat bottom also helps in the easy movement of the ingredients which helps properly cook the food without making it soggy.

Sides: A sauté pan is meant to keep its contents on the bottom of the pan, and the high edges help by containing what you’re cooking better than curved edges. This means a sauté pan can handle sauces and liquids that might slosh over the edges of a frying pan; this is also what makes them ideal for frying, as they can better contain hot oil without risking dangerous spills or splatters

Lid: The lid traps steam inside the pan helping it store heat which enables quick and even cooking. The lid allows you to see what's going on inside the pot without having to lift it off, letting steam escape. Many brands like Circulon have colander lids or sometimes built-in strainers to make cooking even easier for you.

Long Handle: A long handle is always preferred because it stays cool, comfortable to hold and makes it easier to toss items in the pan. Many brands offer silicone inserts or phenolic stay cool handles for better grip and comfort.
