With specialized pans such as the saucier and rondeau, the collection takes even the most basic of kitchen ideas one step closer to the professional setting. Designed with chefs in mind such as the thoughtfully shaped seamless handles to prevent trapping food and easy cleaning, rolled edges to allow for perfect pouring, and heat vents to keep the handles cool to the touch. 

The stainless steel metal, hand-crafted in Italy, speaks to the pan's revolutionary engineering and supposedly provides users with the perfect heat conductivity and increased response to temperature changes compared to traditional stainless steel pans. 

If the entire pan set is not quite for you, then individual pans are also available on Amazon, many of which are also on sale so that you can mix and match your kitchenware and create the perfect cooking setup for you. 

After picking up some of these, you may also want to consider organizing your pots and pans to get your kitchen in Michelin-shape too.

Do chefs prefer stainless steel pans?

Many chefs and professional cooks prefer stainless steel pans as they are almost indestructible in a busy kitchen where the pans are used day-in-day-out. Stainless steel material is often the best option for equal heat distribution too when used properly, allowing for the best and more reliable results every time.

Are stainless steel pans best?

A stainless steel pan is often the best option if you are looking for pans to withstand a lot of use or over high heat, particularly on gas cookers. A high-quality stainless steel pan that has been looked after will often also maintain some aspect of non-stick quality to them too, although if want a guaranteed non-stick experience then a dedicated non-stick pan may be better for you.
