Although at first glance, its stature may seem diminutive, the 1.7-quart saute pan from the Mauviel M'heritage Series should by no means be discounted. This saute pan is perfect for searing beef tourenades, poaching a flaky white fish filet, sweating vegetables, or creating a perferctly creamy risotto. With sides that are noticeably lower than a saucepan of comparable volume, the small saute is perfect for reductions and finishing sauces as well. Plus the feavy quage copper construction, the pans repsonsiveness is as impressive as any other on the market. Mauviel's M'heritage Cast-Iron Handle Collection is a true reflection of the company's history and testament to their staying power. Boasting the thickest copper construction of all their line (2.5mm), the cast-iron handle collection is true French Copper Cookware. It's performance is unsurpassed, while its reponsiveness is unparallaled. The Cast Iron M'heritage collection does take one-step into the 21st century with a non-reactive stainless steel lining never needs to be re-tinned. Because of the heavier copper construction, the pans are able to achieve balance and optimum usability with the heavier cast-iron handles.
