The sauté pan gets its name from the French term “Sauter,” which means “to leap,” while the sloping sides of a frying pan refer to its capacity to make a “jump-flip” action when cooking. You can cook a lot of food in a saute pan without spilling.
How to clean: scrub with a plastic brush, which won't scratch. Before cooking, rub 1/2 teaspoon oil inside to safeguard the nonstick surface.
