Alessi Sapper Sauteuse 20cm, Multi-ply by Richard Sapper
Special order, delivery time 7-10 days.
Size – 20cm diameter x 7.5cm high
Multi-ply’s thermal properties are idealy suited to making delicate sauces when good temperature control is essential.
- 20cm diameter and 7.5cm depth are perfect proportions for a sauteuse.
- Multi-ply material consists of three different layers. The inner lining is a thin layer of 18/10 stainless steel which is non-toxic and easy to clean.
- An outer skin of hard wearing AISI 430 steel sandwiches an inner core of aluminium for light weight and excellent thermal conduction.
- Handle is chunky investment cast stainless steel with a textured finish which mimics traditional cast iron without the disadvantage of potential corrosion.
- Like most European manufacturers Alessi supply most of their pans without lids which are supplied seperately in all sizes. Click on ‘See more Sapper Pans’ for details.
Multi-ply material: Aluminium has thermal properties similar to copper but is far less expensive and much lighter.
Pans made from aluminium take less heat to achieve the desired temperature and so heat up and cool down more quickly than cast iron or solid steel giving the chef much more control.
The excellent thermal conductivity of the aluminium gives even heat distribution across the base and up the sides.
There are well known health concerns with raw aluminium pans and so Alessi have sandwiched the aluminium core between a hard wearing AISI 430 steel outer skin and a non toxic easy clean 18/10 stainless steel inner shell.
They have achieved an excellent balance of usability, low weight and durability at a price very much lower than copper pans.
