Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Sauté Pan 260mm

The Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Sauté Pan is a piece of professional cookware built around a layered construction that combines copper, aluminium, and stainless steel into a single bonded body. The result is a pan that heats evenly across the entire base and lower sidewalls — a practical advantage when precision matters during service.

The copper and aluminium layers work together to spread heat quickly and consistently, eliminating the hot spots that cause uneven cooking or caught sauces. The stainless steel outer layer is robust, straightforward to clean, and compatible with induction as well as gas and electric hobs. In a professional kitchen where pans are used hard across multiple services, that kind of cross-compatibility and durability is worth having.

From an operational standpoint, this construction offers a few meaningful advantages:

• Even heat distribution reduces the need for constant repositioning on the hob
• Stainless steel exterior withstands regular handling and commercial cleaning
• Induction compatibility gives flexibility across different kitchen setups
• The helper handle allows two-handed transfer of heavier loads safely
• The ergonomic main handle makes controlled tossing and plating easier during service

At 260mm, this pan suits à la carte and small-batch cooking rather than high-volume bulk preparation. It sits comfortably in a brigade kitchen as a sauce, sauté, or finishing pan. For operations needing larger capacities or heavier-gauge cookware for sustained volume work, alternative sizes and ranges are available.
