Samuel Groves
Samuel Groves Stainless Steel Saucepan with Glass Lid 18cm
£74.28(£89.14 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Samuel Groves 18cm stainless steel saucepan is a well-made piece of professional cookware designed for consistent, controlled cooking across a wide range of tasks. Its three-layer construction bonds stainless steel outer and inner surfaces with an aluminium core, which draws heat evenly across the base and up the sides of the pan rather than concentrating it at the centre. The toughened glass lid includes a steam vent and sits securely to retain moisture during cooking.
In a working kitchen environment, even heat distribution matters most when cooking delicate sauces, reductions, or dairy-based preparations where hot spots cause scorching. The pan's construction handles these tasks reliably, and its compatibility with all hob types — including induction — means it moves between stations without issue. The hollow brushed steel handle is designed to stay cooler during hob use, which is a practical safety consideration during a busy service.
Key practical advantages include:
- British non-stick interior coating that simplifies both cooking and post-service cleaning
- Even heat distribution across base and sides, reducing the need for constant stirring
- Induction-compatible construction, suitable for any hob type
- Glass lid with steam vent for controlled moisture retention
- Hollow handle designed to reduce heat transfer during hob use
As an 18cm pan, this is best suited to smaller batch cooking, individual portions, sauces, and accompaniments rather than high-volume production. It is a practical choice for à la carte sections, prep kitchens, or smaller operations where quality cookware is needed without the bulk of larger stock pots. For sites producing sauces or stocks in larger quantities, a bigger capacity pan from the same range would be worth considering.
If you're building out a cookware set or want to check this pan is the right size for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is this pan suitable for daily professional kitchen use or is it aimed at domestic cooking?
Samuel Groves position this as professional cookware, and the tri-ply construction and non-stick coating are specified to a commercial standard. That said, at 18cm it is best suited to à la carte cooking, sauces, and smaller batch prep rather than continuous high-volume production. For kitchens running large quantities through a single pan repeatedly, a heavier-gauge or larger-capacity option would hold up better over time.
Can this pan be used on induction hobs without any adaptor?
Yes. The stainless steel outer layer is induction compatible, so no adaptor is needed. It will work directly on induction, gas, ceramic, and electric hob surfaces.
How should the non-stick coating be maintained to extend its service life?
Avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning pads, which will wear the coating prematurely. Hand washing with a soft cloth is preferable to repeated dishwasher cycles, which over time can degrade non-stick surfaces. Storing pans with a soft liner between them also helps prevent surface damage in busy pan storage areas.
