Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Sauté Pan 200mm

The Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Sauté Pan is a professional-grade piece of cookware built around a multi-layer construction that combines copper, aluminium, and stainless steel into a single bonded body. The copper layer sits at the core of the pan, flanked by aluminium and enclosed in stainless steel on both the interior and exterior surfaces. This layered approach is designed to deliver the heat conductivity that copper is known for, while maintaining the durability and compatibility advantages of stainless steel.

In a working kitchen environment, even heat distribution across the base and lower walls is what separates reliable cookware from a pan that creates hot spots and inconsistent results. The copper and aluminium layers in this construction respond quickly to changes in temperature, which is useful during busy service when a chef needs to adjust heat rapidly without overcooking. The stainless steel interior holds up well to regular use, including acidic ingredients and frequent cleaning, without the surface degradation that affects some softer materials over time.

• Performs consistently on gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Even base temperature reduces the risk of hot spots during service
• Stainless steel interior is non-reactive and straightforward to clean
• Stainless steel handle remains a practical fit in a professional setting
• Durable enough for daily use without rapid wear to the cooking surface

At 200mm, this is a mid-sized sauté pan suited to à la carte cooking, individual portions, and sauce work rather than high-volume batch production. It is worth considering whether this size meets your service demands — for kitchens turning out larger quantities, a bigger or heavier-gauge option may be more appropriate. The pan is compatible with induction hobs, which is worth confirming against your current cooker setup before ordering.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens where precision cooking matters — restaurants, boutique hotels, and similar operations where cookware is used hard but expected to perform consistently. If you have questions about whether this fits your kitchen's requirements or how it sits within the wider Samuel Groves range, the team is happy to talk it through.
