wrong picture shown -- good quality pan
My review is written for the Profiserie= "Professional" version of this item -- Amazon changed the picture to 'Catering' which is a different line of pots. I have never used or reviewed a 'Catering' line pot, if Amazon changes this entry to the Catering version of the pot. I checked the Sitram website for Profiserie cookware (which is the same as "Professional". The alternate name is chosen only by retailer or distributor, and the equipment is identical.
the picture Amazon shows (at the time of this review update) is for a 'saucier pan'(evasee), Sitram 3.35 qt. Catering saucier pan, (Sitram 20041 in the Profiserie line, not shown in the picture).
I own the next size smaller saucepan in this series, and it is sturdy, heats quickly and evenly, has a very stay-cool tubular handle (using my electric coil range), is happy in the dishwasher, and pours easily without dripping. I wonder if the spot-welded handle will ever come off, but if it does, it has a lifetime...
Excellent pan
I purchased this to use with an induction cooking top and now it is my favorite pan. The bottom distributes the heat so very evenly that I use this pan for fondues. It also works well on other cook tops but if you have a gas range you'll probably want a silicone handle cover so you don't fry your hand on the bare metal. I use a silicone mitt instead which works for me. I prefer metal handles because a lot of dishes spend time roasting in the oven.
Kitchen workhorse
I've had one of these for at least seven years, and it's become my most-used pan for everything from sauteed onions to oyster stew. It's been used on electric and gas stoves and now an Aga, it's been hand-washed, dishwashered, dropped and slung around, and it's still going strong. I like it so much, I now have its 5.2 quart big brother and several other Sitram pans as well, and you cannot beat the price!
