My review is written for the Profiserie= "Professional" version of this item -Amazon changed the picture to 'Catering' which is a different line of pots. I have never used or reviewed a 'Catering' line pot, if Amazon changes this entry to the Catering version of the pot. I checked the Sitram website for Profiserie cookware (which is the same as "Professional". The alternate name is chosen only by retailer or distributor, and the equipment is identical.

the picture Amazon shows (at the time of this review update) is for a 'saucier pan'(evasee), Sitram 3.35 qt. Catering saucier pan, (Sitram 20041 in the Profiserie line, not shown in the picture).

I own the next size smaller saucepan in this series, and it is sturdy, heats quickly and evenly, has a very stay-cool tubular handle (using my electric coil range), is happy in the dishwasher, and pours easily without dripping. I wonder if the spot-welded handle will ever come off, but if it does, it has a lifetime guarantee. I have a bunch of other Sitram Profiserie pans that also work well. I hate electric coil cooktops, but these work well on mine. If i get an induction top some day, they will work well on that too (as they do for friends of mine on theirs)

If you don't want to buy copper or copper sandwich disc bottom pots, and don't need nonstick, I think this is as good as you can get in a saucepan from a functional point of view, at least on flat-top heat sources like induction, electric coil, ceramic, or glasstop where flames don't go up the sides. I own original Calphalon, French tinned copper, Anolon non-stick, and Scanpan non-stick, for comparison. None (except the copper) heat quicker or more evenly, and the Sitram is more convenient. If your heat source goes up the sides, then you might get some scorching at the border of the aluminum sandwich bottom and the single layer pot side. America's Test Kitchen downgrades the line for that reason. I haven't seen it happen on my cooktop in several years of use.

The Catering line has a different set of materials in the bottom sandwich, including copper. Not recommended for induction cooking, whereas the Profiserie line is specifically recommended for induction, with a feromagnetic stainless disc as the outer layer below the aluminum core.

I purchased this to use with an induction cooking top and now it is my favorite pan. The bottom distributes the heat so very evenly that I use this pan for fondues. It also works well on other cook tops but if you have a gas range you'll probably want a silicone handle cover so you don't fry your hand on the bare metal. I use a silicone mitt instead which works for me. I prefer metal handles because a lot of dishes spend time roasting in the oven.

I've had one of these for at least seven years, and it's become my most-used pan for everything from sauteed onions to oyster stew. It's been used on electric and gas stoves and now an Aga, it's been hand-washed, dishwashered, dropped and slung around, and it's still going strong. I like it so much, I now have its 5.2 quart big brother and several other Sitram pans as well, and you cannot beat the price!

Honest reviews on Sitram Catering Saucier Pan 3.35-Quart

The pan I received is not from the catering line, it is not a saucier, and the capacity is not 3.35 quarts. I tested it by filling it with water 3 quarts of water fit right up to the rim. Trying to decide whether I should give it to my daughter, or return it. Very disappointed. Bottom line if you want a 2.8 quart saucepan from the Sitram Proffiserie line, this is your pan. If you want a 3.35 quart saucier from the Catering line, look elsewhere. False advertising.

I have two pieces of the Sitram catering line. This saucepan and a braisier. They heat quickly and very evenly, clean up eaisly and look fantastic (like new) after several years of use. I use Scanpan for my non-stick fry pans, but for everything else, I am picking up sitram pans from hereon out.
