Designed to prepare soups, sauces and other liquid-based food items, the Vollrath® Optio saucepan is perfect for the value-conscious chef. This induction-ready pan features straight sides; a wide, flat bottom and a natural finish for impressive heat conduction and uniform cooking. The stainless steel construction resists discoloration and corrosion, allowing this pan to last for years, and prevents flavor retention for higher-quality results. The welded handle is impressively durable, provides a steady grip and features a hanging hole for convenient storage.
