Stock Pot
Senior Cook
Assuming you had neither, which would you buy first, a saucepan or a saucier pan? Or, put another way, if you could only have one, which would you choose?
DITTO. I use a flat whisk in my pots/pans to make gravy/sauce never had a problem. I DID buy an All Clad saucier after watching a cooking show that raved about how good it was. I HATE IT! With a passion. The handle is to long and heavy. I used it twice and the handle made it so unbalanced the contents were spilled out onto my stove when I let go of it. It was pretty pricey also and a waste.Never owned a saucier so I can't say. I never even heard of a saucier until I first started watching Food Network, so never felt that using a basic saucepan for sauces was an issue. Since that's what I've always used, I learned to get the stuff out of the corners without any problems.
I would jump on that deal if I had the cash! I have been seeing the commercials for new space saving Calphalon cookware. I think this is only available exclusively at Macy's (designed for them). I really like the flat lids for easy stacking. One of the saucepans has a strainer lid. Which I LOVE. (I have 2 and 3 quart Cuisinart saucepans with strainer lids).That's helpful MsM. I was thinking about ordering this one. The handle doesn't look like it would be a problem, and the price is right from Macy's.
What do you think?
