When fall sets in, I immediately break out my pots, pans, and Dutch ovens to make soups, pastas, savory oatmeal (my current hyperfixation), and more comfort dishes. While I love my Stanley Tucci-approved Dutch oven for making big batches of soup or pumpkin mac and cheese, sometimes I need something that’s a little smaller.
I’ve tried a ton of different pans (it’s quite literally my job), but there’s one I keep coming back to time and again for my favorite cozy meals: Made In’s ProCoat Nonstick Saucier. It’s a perfect size for my day-to-day cooking. Plus, its nonstick interior is so good that it’s earned a permanent spot on my stove.
What You Should Know About Made In’s ProCoat Nonstick Saucier
Founded in 2017, Made In is a chef-approved cookware brand making all sorts of kitchen essentials, including stainless clad, carbon steel, enameled cast iron, and nonstick pots, pans, and more. Our editors are big fans, too — they recommend the brand’s Carbon Steel Griddle, Quarter Sheet Pan, and ProCoat Nonstick Frying Pan, among other pieces of cookware and bakeware.
After seeing that Made In’s ProCoat Nonstick Saucier was so well-loved by shoppers (it has a 4.9-star rating!), I knew I needed to give it a try. There were two options available: a 3-quart and a 5-quart (which is now sold out). I opted for the 3-quart.
This Italian-made saucier has a nonstick surface on the inside, while the rest of the pan is stainless clad. Because it’s a saucier, the sides are rounded instead of straight, which makes it easier to incorporate everything while you’re stirring. It’s also pretty easy to clean by hand, thanks to the rounded edges and nonstick surface. Plus, this pan is oven-safe up to 500°F.
My Honest Review of Made In’s ProCoat Nonstick Saucier
My go-to dish to make in this saucier is savory oatmeal. I’ve loved using this pan for it because the oats and chicken stock don’t end up getting stuck to it while they cook down (an issue I’ve had when making this dish in other pans). At the end, the evenly cooked oats slide right out of the pan and into a bowl. It’s a seamless cooking experience every time, and cleanup is so easy too. It only takes me a couple minutes to hand-wash it, and I never have to scrub hard.
After a few weeks of using this saucier, it has earned a permanent spot on my stove. Now, whenever I need to boil water, make a quick serving of pasta, or whip up some savory oatmeal for lunch, this pan is the one I’m reaching for. I even boiled soft pretzel dough in it recently and was amazed to find it could hold eight cups of water (and it still had about four cups of room to spare!).
At $189 this saucier is pricey, but I use it almost every day and know I will continue to for a long time to come. So for me, it’s well-worth it — especially with all the holiday cooking that’s about to happen in my kitchen.
