This small-sized sauce pan, in a décor-friendly neutral, is perfect for making velvety sauces, hot chocolate and warming up soups. It's clad in smooth enamel that renders the pan impervious to acid, alkali, odors and stains. Designed with a long, ergonomic handle for beautiful balance and a graceful appearance, this 1.75-qt. capacity sauce pan has a close-fitting lid that creates a blanket of heat for even cooking. Its rim is specially designed with an "all-round" lip for drip-free pouring with the right or left hand, and it's compatible with all types of heat sources, from gas and electric stoves. Revered by both professional chefs and home cooks since its 1925 debut, Le Creuset's classic French cookware is prized for its utilitarian good looks and unsurpassed heat retention.
