Zwilling Aurora 5-Ply Stainless Steel 3qt Saucepan

Zwilling sets the standard for quality German cutlery—and it isn’t too shabby in the cookware department, either. Exhibit A: this 3-quart saucepan with a brilliant satin finish on the exterior and a polished finish on the lid. Made from 5-ply stainless steel (that’s three layers of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel), the saucepan offers excellent heat retention and conduction. Need to put it in the oven? Not to worry: It’s good to go up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The handle ensures a solid stay-cool grip, while the tight-fitting lid helps you seal in heat when making rice, steaming veggies, and more. Uses of the pan are myriad, but some examples could be cooking grains, making sauces, boiling eggs, or heating soup. The rolled rim makes it easy to pour out whatever you make.
