Saucepans

What does a saucepan mean?

A saucepan is a vessel dedicated to pouring sauce onto the plate. This is important because most dishes are served with sauce separately (this does not apply to sliced meats served with a minimal amount of sauce to enhance the flavour of the products), so such a vessel is very practical and looks good on the table.

It is worth making a clear distinction between saucepans for sauces and dishes called dippers. As the name suggests, dippers are designed to serve dips. These are very thick sauces that are difficult to pour using a classic saucepan. They are mostly small dishes in a round or square shape in which vegetables, nachos and many other delicacies can be dipped.

What does a saucepan look like?

Saucepans resemble small jugs in shape - they are slightly bulbous, have a spout for conveniently pouring the sauce onto a plate and a handle for holding. Most products are similar in shape, but vary in detail and colour. The classics are, of course , thewhite saucepans, a good example of which is thewhite saucepan ROCOCO 0001, but there are also dishes with a stronger design, including black saucepans, which, especially when combined with white tableware, look good and create an interesting colour accent on the table.

Also worth noting are thetransparent glass saucepans 20X13XH11.5 CM available in our online shop , which display the sauce and are at the same time versatile and match any style of tableware.

How many ml does a saucepan have?

Capacity is an important feature that differentiates saucepans for sauces. Small saucepans have about 80 millilitres, but much more practical are dishes with a larger capacity. Look out for products from the Mondex online shop - they range from 400 millilitres (in the case of thewhite modern VICTORIA saucepan) to even 500 millilitres (e.g. the elegant white ROCOCO 0001 saucepan).

What should a good saucepan be made of?

Porcelain gravy saucepans are the best in their class, as they look good while keeping the emulsion warm. Consumers also often choose to buy stainless steel saucepans, which look nice and are also very sturdy, so they will certainly come in handy at many parties.

Plastic saucepans are also worth mentioning - but they differ from the products mentioned above in that they are disposable items, mainly used for take-away meals.

Sauce dishes - see how to elegantly serve a sauce for many different dishes

Serving many different delicacies to the table is inextricably linked to the rules of savoir-vivre, and this also applies to the issue of serving sauce dishes. They are particularly suitable for emulsions that are not too thick and whose consistency allows the sauce to be poured comfortably onto the plate. This applies to cold sauces such as vinaigrette, but also to warm sauces based on meat and vegetable stock.

Experts in the rules of savoir-vivre point out that white saucepans are the best in this regard and look elegant on any table. A great example of this is the white porcelain saucepan IWONA ZŁOTY PASEK B014, which has gold decoration in the middle and upper part, which attracts the eye. The design of this large saucepan is complemented by delicate embossing - sure to look sensational on any table!

It is worth remembering a practical tip that will come in handy at every party. To keep the sauce hot for longer, it is advisable to rinse the saucepan with boiling water. This will warm up the vessel and keep the sauce hotter for longer.

It is also a good idea to use a saucepan with a warmer. These consist of a base into which a warmer is placed and on this is placed the sauce dish. The warmer will gently heat the sauce in the saucepan but will not bring it to a boil, which is a great option for long feasts.
