The rim is rolled, sealed and polished to protect the internal aluminum layer.

A saucier pan, also called a chef's pan, is designed with a rounded bottom and curved walls to keep ingredients moving. The flared sides facilitate easy whisking and stirring. It is particularly suited to dishes that involve constant stirring and complex flavours, such as sauces, risottos and custards.
