Vollrath 3800 Optio 1 Qt. Stainless Steel Sauce Pan / Butter Warmer with Aluminum-Clad Bottom and Cover

This little sauce pan is a must for every kitchen. It's the perfect size and weight for making all kinds of sauces and hot breakfast cereals. I've found it works beautifully for homemade ketchup, oatmeal, rice cereal, and anything else requiring a smaller pan. The included lid is nicely weighted and low-profile, requiring little storage space. Finished with a satin look, it's very attractive with a rounded handle that is both comfortable and remains cool. A multi-layer base facilitates exceptionally quick, even heating on my induction cooktop without the buzzing often associated with less expensive cookware. A fantastic purchase. I highly recommend it!

I'm very happy with these pans. They are durable and heat evenly. They are a good thickness, which is important for making confectionery products. Nice!

we have two people, and this is a perfect size for many things. I've had a few Vollrath products and I love them all, very high quality

When I needed a serious upgrade at home, replaced my nonstick pots with these and it was so worth it. Same with any stainless steel, it's more work to maintain but should last a life time if you do it right.

Top quality sauce pan for the price. The bottom transfers heat very well, bringing sauces to a boil quickly. The handle keeps cool to the touch during normal use. The only downside is that the side walls are a bit thin, I sometimes get some side scorching on high heat. I've used this pan for over a year and it will hold up to a lot of use.

This sauce pan is built really well. Really liked the welded handles. Good for pasta, sauces, rice or soups! The brushed finish helps fro scratches.

Amazing saucepan! Thick aluminum bottom retains and distributes heat very well for even cooking, no hot or cold spots. Perfect for making or reheating soups.

This is a perfect pot for making tea. Yes, my family drinks a lot of herbal teas on a daily basis. This size is perfect to because it lasts us all day long. I also love the solid lid and sealed handle. The quality and price are both unbeatable. I would definitely buy it again.

A good heavy duty pot that looks like a work of art. Very high quality. This is a great value for residential or commercial use.

This is the sauce pan we use with the Avantco induction burner. Mostly used for making pasta. We put sauce and cheese in there too and it cleans up really nicely and easily.

Great saucepot for its cost, this easily boils soup, reheats liquids, sautees, and can even sear with its flat and heavy duty bottom. Cleans easily for a stainless steel pot, and holds and distributes heat very well.

The vollrath optio 2.75 quart sauce pan is a great pan! It looks phenomenal and has a long handle. It also has a very thick bottom so food cooks evenly. Love it!

I use this pot for all sorts of things from sauces to grains (rice, quinoa) and even deep frying. it seems to be suited to almost any cooking task. it's really hefty and well constructed, but somehow not all that expensive.

These are excellent little cause pans because they come with a ton of qualities! For instance, it comes with a lid, is induction ready, and it's hard to damage!

This is a larger sauce pan. It is sturdy and well made. It comes with a matching metal lid, so I don't have to worry about breaking it.

Vollrath make fantastic quality items, and this sauce pan is no exception. It looks and feels high end, and stands up to daily use in our busy kitchen.

This pan is the quality of a much higher priced model, but at literally fraction of the price. They are heavy and sturdy so they can take a beating in a professional kitchen or last basically forever in a home setting. The clad bottom makes the heating super even so food doesn't burn. They're well worth what you pay for them.

The perfect pan for making our homemade sauces. The pan feels very well made and is quite heavy duty. Pan is easy to clean up after use.
