Simple Tools for Pan Sauces
Skillet
FRENCH SKILLET
The ideal pan for sautéing a simple supper and making a pan sauce. Sloped sides offer easy access when turning foods and whisking the sauce.
Spatula
WOODEN SPATULA
A wooden tool is safe for stainless and nonstick surfaces alike. The straight edge scrapes up brown bits efficiently.
Whisks
WHISKS
Choose your whisk based on the task at hand. A small whisk works well for pan sauces, a larger one for sauces with greater volumes.
