Saucepan w.o. lid 16cm Modesto

Frying, stewing and warming up – all in one saucepan

The saucepan is the all-rounder for every kitchen. Whether you are frying, stewing or just gently warming something up, the small pot with the long steel handle makes things easier and is suited for all sorts of dishes.

With WMF saucepans you always have one hand free

Making sauces, warming up meals, cooking puddings or fixing up some cake glaze – all these tasks work best when you always have a hand free to keep stirring. For these types of jobs the WMF saucepan is just the right choice for you. The long handle lets you adjust the position of the saucepan with one hand while keeping the other free for other things. This means you can stop lumps from forming in creams or food being burnt onto the pan before it happens.

The pot walls make all the difference

The saucepan functions similarly to a sauté pan. The difference between the two though is in the walls, which point steeply upwards instead of sloping outwards. Because of this you can use saucepans without much liquid with no problems. You can use them for frying and stewing, which is easier than in the high casserole because of the slightly lower edges.

Size and volume – you decide!

Most WMF cookware sets already include a medium-sized saucepan with a diameter of 16 cm. However, it can be worthwhile to buy both the smaller and larger models of this item of cookware because of the wide range of potential uses. In our assortment you can find saucepans with a diameter between 10 and 24 cm and in volumes between 500 ml and 4.8 l. You can also find well-fitting lids for all our models to make stewing or gentle steaming easier.

High-quality and easy to care for – WMF saucepans

Our customers can rely on our high-quality Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10, which stands out from other materials thanks to its robustness, durability and the ease with which it can be cared for. The TransTherm® universal base, another innovation from the WMF Group, ensures that our saucepans can be used on all types of hob. We place a great value on stainless steel handles, even on our cast aluminium models, so that our saucepans can be used in the oven at high temperatures without any problems.

They give you flexibility in all manner of ways – whether you're making sauces, stews or even casseroles, our WMF saucepans mean you can expect the best results. Well-designed products and genuine professional quality make all this possible. Have a good look through our assortment now and find the perfect saucepan for you!

The right lid for every pot!

Every pot comes with a matching lid. Our pots are fitted with high-tech lids which also have special functions to help you cook.

WMF pot lids have it covered.

But which lid is the right one? The lids in our collections are not only made to physically fit the pot, but they are made to look right with it as well. WMF metal lids combine safety with the high standards that the professional chef as well as the enthusiastic amateur have come to expect. The lids are in most cases fitted with hollow handles. The thermal break means the handle stays comfortable to touch when the lid is on the pot sitting on the hotplate. The lids are made from our tried-and-tested Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10 and it should go without saying that they are dishwasher safe and suitable for induction hobs. We offer lids both in matte and polished designs, meaning that you can always find the lid that goes best with your pot.

Our lids are completely watertight.

Traditional lids are in most cases made to be non-insertable. The heavy design of the lid can also reliably close the pot without hermetically sealing it. A non-insertable lid doesn't have a seal, unlike for example a pressure cooker lid, but the specially designed edge ensures a perfect fit. A number of lids have a vent hole to stop an unwanted vacuum from building up inside the pot.

Spare lids – making sure you always have the size you need!

Our lids may be robust, but no item of cookware is accident-proof. If you want to replace a lid for one of our pots then we recommend measuring the diameter of the pot just to be sure before placing your order with us. Measurements should be taken at the top inside edge if you want to be sure you're ordering the right one. Because our pots and frying pans are meticulously designed to provide a perfect fit, the measurements don't need to be exact. We sell pots in diameters from 12 to 32 cm, and you will be able to find a matching lid for any pot in our product range, whether you need a replacement or just want a spare.

Pots and lids – quality from WMF

Pots and lids come together as a perfectly harmonised unit both in our cookware sets and when bought as individual items. Choose pots with lids from our collections that aren't just functional but aesthetically pleasing as well. If you want to keep an eye on your cooking at all times then we recommend our collection of lids made from heat-resistant high-quality glass.
