1.7-Quart Sauté Saucepan with Ultra-Temp Control and Whistle Vent
One Pan—Two Everyday Functions
The Ultra-Tech II 1.7-quart sauté saucepan combines the capacity of a midsize saucepan with the wider cooking surface of a compact sauté skillet.
It is perfectly sized for waterless vegetables, browning smaller portions of meat and preparing complete meals for one or two people—without heating a large pan.
Perfect for Waterless Vegetables
Choosing the correct pan size is essential for successful waterless cooking. Fill the pan approximately two-thirds to three-quarters full so the vegetables’ natural moisture can circulate inside the covered pan.
A properly filled 1.7-quart saucepan generally prepares:
- 4 to 6 vegetable side-dish servings
- Approximately 2 to 4 larger servings
Dense vegetables such as carrots, corn, potatoes and green beans generally provide more servings than bulky vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower.
Ideal for One or Two People
This unique size eliminates the need to use oversized cookware for smaller meals. Its broad cooking surface provides room to brown food evenly, while its depth helps contain juices and ingredients.
Use it to brown, sauté or range-top roast:
- Two chicken breasts
- One good-sized steak
- Two pork or lamb chops
- Two filet mignons
- Two fish fillets
- Hamburgers, meatballs or sausage
- Shrimp and smaller stir-fries
After browning, add the remaining ingredients, cover the pan and reduce the temperature to finish cooking gently.
More Ways to Use It
The 1.7-quart sauté saucepan is equally useful for:
- Sauces, gravies and reductions
- Rice, quinoa and couscous
- Oatmeal, grits and hot cereals
- Soup, stew and chili
- Beans, lentils and legumes
- Pasta and small one-pan meals
- Eggs and breakfast dishes
- Sautéed onions and mushrooms
- Heating broth, milk or hot chocolate
- Reheating leftovers without drying them out
- Melting butter or chocolate
- Puddings, custards and dessert sauces
Why This Size Belongs in Every Kitchen
A 1-quart saucepan may be too small, while a large skillet or stockpot can be unnecessary. The 1.7-quart sauté saucepan fills that important gap.
It is large enough for vegetables and complete small meals, yet compact enough to handle easily and heat efficiently. Its wider base makes it more versatile than a traditional narrow saucepan.
