Hammer Stahl's Multi-Ply 3 Quart Saucier is made from surgical grade stainless steel that is not only durable, it's easy to clean and it's safe for food storage. The 316Ti cooking surface is more durable and non-reactive than the typical 18/10 surface. Its sloped sides make it ideal for whisking sauces or custards and increases surface area for reducing liquids. It's also great for stirring up risotto, polenta, or oatmeal.
