Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Saucepan 200mm

The Samuel Groves Copper Core 5-Ply Saucepan is a professional cookware piece built around a five-layer construction that bonds stainless steel outer layers around an aluminium core with a central copper layer. This combination is designed to deliver even, responsive heat across the base and lower walls — the kind of consistent performance that single-material pans struggle to replicate, particularly during fine sauce and reduction work.

In a working kitchen environment, the copper layer responds quickly to temperature adjustments at the hob, giving chefs direct control over what is happening in the pan. That matters during service when a sauce is tightening or a delicate preparation needs to hold without scorching. The stainless steel exterior handles the routine knocks, cleaning, and stacking that come with daily professional use, and the stainless steel handle is shaped to remain secure whether the pan is on the stove or being moved to pass.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Even heat distribution across base and walls reduces hot spots during reduction work
• Copper core responds quickly to hob adjustments for precise temperature control
• Stainless steel exterior resists corrosion and withstands daily cleaning routines
• Compatible with induction, gas, and electric hobs
• Ergonomic handle supports controlled movement during busy service

At 3.2 litres, this pan is well suited to sauce work, small-batch reductions, and lower-cover service. Lids are not included and will need to be sourced separately. For kitchens producing larger batch sauces or running higher covers, a larger-capacity pan from the same range is worth considering.

This saucepan suits professional kitchens where heat precision and cookware durability are everyday requirements — from hotel restaurants and bistros through to catering operations that rely on consistent results service after service.
