I use this pan to brown meat and it is ideal for it. The size is ample and it has an excellent feel to it when in use on the stovetop.

This is one of our favorite pans. Very heavy duty and easy to clean if you make sure to heat it before adding any oil, etc. Great pan for saucy dishes.

Great quality pan, thick bottom for heat retention. Survives the dishwasher. As with any stainless steel cookware - make sure you heat it up prior to putting oil/fat.

This is a very nice and practical pan for the price. Bottom is very thick, and pan heats very well, and I wouldn't worry that the sides are only 21g. Its almost as nice as higher end pans, but a few times cheaper. Its clearly a step above cheap consumer grade stainless in this price range and obvious its made for commercial use.

I bought this pan to make larger batches for meal prep. It looks great, feels heavy duty, but it didn't cook as evenly as I was hoping. I used it on a 7 in electric heat element at my apartment, and it only sautéed properly in the 11 in diameter over the element. After moving things around I was able to cook the rest of my chicken. It did end up cooking the meat faster than doing 2 batches in my 10 in sauté pan. I will have to experiment with this pan more to see if adjusting my technique can make better use of it. If you have a larger heating element this pan may work well for you.

The quality of this pan is obvious the moment you take it out of the box. The construction is excellent and the handle, helper handle and lid are well designed. I was worried about the pan because the box was destroyed by fedex and the handle was sticking out upon arrrival. However there is no obvious damage and the pan sits flat on the stove. Kudos to westaraunt but not so much for fedex. For my nest order I’d be willing to pay a few bucks more for UPS shipping

Love the size and the helper handle. It is a terrific saute pan! My husband also loves it and made mention "wished we had these years ago"! Easy to use and easy to clean.

I purchased this pan as I like to cook large quantities and my 10” saute pan isn’t big enough. I wanted a 14” pan with lid and this is the only one I found, and not only did it come with a lid, the price was the cheapest I found. If the Vollrath pan came with a lid I would have bought it as this pan is welded and if welding was the best I’m sure all of the professional pans would be welded and not riveted. This pan is great. This pan is heavy, really heavy, and the helper handle gets used a lot. I just made 2 1/2 gallons of chili and this pan has plenty of room for cooking 6 lbs of ground beef, and from my experience this pan can easily cook 7 or 8 lbs of ground beef. The largest element on my stove is only 10” and this 14” pan heats quite evenly, after cooking a while allowing the pan to heat thoroughly, food can be browned out to the edges of the pan. In spite of welds instead of rivet I really like this pan and would definitely recommend it to others.

Frequently Asked Questions

A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.

For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can’t collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.
