Vollrath 7348 Arkadia 8.5 Qt. Tapered Aluminum Sauce Pan

I absolutely love this pot. I've been using it to make all my jams and filling. I usually make small batches and this pot is just the right size for me.

These saved me a lot of money over the vollrath one with handles. So I like these as a budget option. Would open any kitchen with these.

I'm a fan of Vollrath. Some of their equipment is SUPER expensive, but they also have some affordable gems. These sauce pots are perfect for prep and will last a while.

Awesome little sauce pan from Vollrath. The aluminum is thick enough for it to feel like a quality piece. I got a silicone sleeve for it and am now getting a lid, I'm sure this will stay in my kitchen for many years to come!

This 1.5 qt. sauce pan is a great addition to my collection. This little pan is handy for reheating sauces, melting butter, and other tasks. The pan is very durable and solid and definitely a quality product one would expect from Volrath. One caution is the handle can become extremely hot so I would suggest adding a silicone sleeve to keep from burning your hand.

A basic, sturdy, uncoated aluminum workhorse at a reasonable price. I suspect the pan will last for many years. As a reminder, the handle does get hot, and the metal is highly reactive, so avoid anything acidic. (I made the mistake of blanching a couple of peaches, which resulted in minor discoloration.) Recommended.

Let me start out by saying I love my 8.5qt soup pot. It may be overkill for home use, but for those times where you just aren't sure how much volume your soup makes, it's a savior. It's very durable, allows for some serious cooking if you're feeding a large group, and I wouldn't even hesitate to braise some short ribs in it in the oven. It didn't come with a “cool handle” but I use a kitchen towel or hot pad if I really need it. The handle stays pretty cool while on the stove. The metal is very durable, and cleans up nice and neat. The only downside is storage. If you have an open shelf, no problem, but many cupboards may be a little too small.

The Vollrath Arkadia 5.5 Qt. Aluminum Sauce Pan heats evenly. Nothing sticks to the bottom and it is easy to clean. The handle is well attached and is easy to grip. This is great for sauces and soups. I would recommend this for residential and commercial kitchens.

perfect for small boils and slow sauces. pretty small though; not sure how you would use outside of simple buerre blancs and such. very good.

Typical Vollrath quality! Easy to clean, distributes heat evenly, and a price point that makes it affordable enough to have multiples! Definitely get the matching pan cover.

A very nice heavy duty sauce pan. The heat is distributed very evenly and the pan cleans up just great. I also bought a silicone handle for the pan, you should do the same!

This is a great sauce pan. It isnt light like most and does a wonderful job of evenly conducting heat. I find myself reaching for all the time.

This sauce pan material is much better than the other ones that we brought. This small pan is useful with small Things and sauce. Love this pan :)

Perfect size pot to do a multitude of sauces and quick batches of foods. Very high quality aluminum, very strong, sturdy and heavy. Great price too!

Wonderful pan that we use to heat up various foods on daily basis, this is a nice medium weight pan and heat distributes evenly, we purchased a couple of these pans.

The pan does the work of heating the vessel and cooking as desired. Only thing is that the product is not a scratch proof vessel.

We have been using these pans for over 15 years and were in the need to purchase more for the expanding business. they hold up amazingly and pay for themselves.

Go to sauce pot. Will not last forever but for the price I don't think one could ask it to or expect it to. Good product though.

this is a very nice pot. it can hold quote a bit. can handle extremely high heat. very easy to use and very easy to clean.
