A well-made saucepan is one of those kitchen tools you don't fully appreciate until you've cooked with a great one. The most important quality is even, controlled heat - which means fully-clad stainless steel construction with an aluminum or copper core that runs up the sides, not just the bottom. This matters more in a saucepan than almost anywhere else, because you're often working with delicate reductions, custards, and sauces that punish hot spots instantly. A tight-fitting lid that seals well is essential for gentle simmering and steaming. A 2-quart and a 4-quart cover most everyday needs - the smaller for sauces and reheating, the larger for grains, soups, and blanching vegetables. Handles should be long, stay cool on the stovetop, and feel balanced. The best saucepans are a pleasure to cook in and will last a lifetime.
