Nordic Ware Basalt™ 3 Quart Sauce Pan

Construction: The Nordic Ware Basalt 3 Quart Sauce Pan is made from formed aluminum for efficient, even heating across the cooking surface. The aluminum construction promotes consistent heating for a variety of stovetop recipes, from gentle simmering to boiling. Oven safe for convenient stovetop to oven cooking, the saucepan provides flexibility when recipes require finishing or warming in the oven. The basalt colored exterior and speckled interior bring the distinctive look of the Basalt Cookware line to everyday cooking.
Nonstick Performance: A Swiss made 3 layer ceramic nonstick coating promotes easy food release and supports low oil cooking. The smooth cooking surface helps prevent sticking during cooking and makes cleanup easier after meals. Use the saucepan for a variety of everyday recipes while enjoying convenient food release from the nonstick surface.
Size and Versatility: The 3 quart capacity provides ample room for preparing family sized portions while maintaining a practical size for everyday stovetop cooking. The saucepan is well suited for simmering sauces, cooking grains, boiling pasta, warming soups, and preparing side dishes. Its versatile size makes it useful for both everyday meals and recipes that require more cooking space than a smaller saucepan.
Handle and Stovetop Compatibility: The stainless steel handle provides a comfortable, secure grip for controlled handling while cooking. Its design makes it easy to stir, lift, and pour contents from the saucepan. The saucepan is compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, providing flexible cooking options across a variety of kitchen setups.
Oven and Care: The Basalt 3 Quart Sauce Pan is oven safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to finish dishes or keep food warm in the oven. The stainless steel handle may discolor at temperatures above the oven safe limit, so use caution when transferring from stovetop to oven. For best results, use low to medium heat and silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to help protect the ceramic nonstick surface. Hand wash with warm, soapy water after each use.
