Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Saucepan 200mm

The Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-ply Saucepan is a professional-grade saucepan built for the demands of commercial cooking. Its five-layer construction bonds two outer layers of stainless steel around an aluminium core and a central copper layer, producing a pan that conducts and distributes heat with a level of precision that single-material pans rarely achieve. The result is even temperature across the base and lower walls, which matters when you are reducing sauces, finishing gravies, or holding delicate preparations through service.

In a working kitchen, consistent heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots that scorch sauces or cause uneven reduction. The copper layer responds quickly to changes in temperature, giving chefs more direct control over what is happening in the pan — useful during busy service when adjustments need to happen fast. The stainless steel exterior is robust enough to withstand the routine handling of a professional environment, and the ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to remain secure whether you are cooking over the stove or moving the pan to pass.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Rapid, even heat spread reduces the risk of scorching during reduction work
• Copper core gives responsive temperature control at the hob
• Stainless steel exterior resists corrosion and stands up to daily cleaning routines
• Ergonomic handle supports confident, controlled movement during service
• Compatible with induction, gas, and electric hobs

At this capacity, the pan suits sauce work, small-batch reductions, and single-portion or small-cover service. It is worth noting that lids are not included and need to be sourced separately. For higher-volume operations or kitchens producing large batch sauces, a larger-capacity pan from the same range may be more appropriate.

This pan is best suited to professional kitchens where heat control and durability are priorities — from hotel restaurants and bistros through to catering operations that need reliable, consistent performance from their cookware day after day.
