Stainless Steel Hammered Sauce Pan with Long Brass Handle – Silver & Gold Mini Saucepan, Traditional Curry Serving Pan for Sauces, Dips, Daal, Restaurants, Catering & Home Dining – 11cm & 13cm

Hammered Sauce Pan with Long Brass Handle, 11cm and 13cm

This hammered sauce pan is a mini saucepan in stainless steel with a decorative hammered interior, a polished silver body and a long, curved gold-coloured brass handle. It comes in two sizes, 11cm at £8.99 and 13cm at £11.99, sold one pan per selected size, and it is made for presenting sauces, curries, daal, vegetables and dips.

The long handle makes it easy to pick up and pass round the table, and the silver and gold finish adds a smart, restaurant-style touch to home dining, hotels and catering. Choose the 11cm pan for sauces and chutneys or the 13cm pan for a full portion of daal or curry; many hosts buy both so sauces and sides sit side by side on the table.

Choosing 11cm or 13cm

The 11cm pan holds a sauce, a dip or a single side for one. The 13cm pan takes a full portion of daal or curry or a sharing dip for two. Many restaurants use the smaller size for sauces and chutneys and the larger one for mains and sides, so the two sizes work well together on the same table.

Serving ideas

Bring a hammered sauce pan of tadka daal, butter chicken or chana masala to the table with naan and rice. Use one for gravy or mint sauce with a roast, for melted butter with seafood, for warm chocolate sauce with ice cream, or for hummus and salsa at a party. The long handle sits neatly beside a plate or on a wooden board.

For a mezze or curry night, several pans in both sizes make a striking spread.

Serving only

The listing describes this pan for serving, so cook in a regular pan and spoon the hot food into the hammered sauce pan just before it goes to the table. The brass handle can warm up when the pan holds hot food, so hold it near the end or use a cloth.

Care and cleaning

Wash the pan by hand in warm soapy water and dry it straight away to keep the silver body and brass handle bright. Rinse out strongly coloured sauces such as turmeric or tomato soon after serving. Avoid steel wool and harsh cleaners, which scratch polished metal.

Store the pans so the handles do not knock against each other, either hanging or side by side on a shelf.

For restaurants and home

Restaurants, hotels and caterers choose hammered serving ware because it keeps its looks through heavy use and makes portions look generous. At home, a pair of these pans makes everyday meals feel special and makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves cooking and hosting.

Matching sauce pans and serving pans

The long handle sets this hammered sauce pan apart from two-handled serving pans, and the two styles look good together: use the two-handled pans for mains and the long-handled sauce pans for sauces, chutneys and dips. Both share the hammered interior and silver and gold finish, so the table looks coordinated.

In a restaurant, a long-handled sauce pan is easy for staff to carry and set down beside a plate, and easy for diners to lift and pour from.

Sauces to serve

Mint sauce or gravy with a roast, peppercorn sauce with steak, garlic butter with prawns, tamarind or mint chutney with samosas, raita with biryani, tomato salsa with nachos, and warm custard or chocolate sauce with desserts all look good in a hammered sauce pan. The 11cm size suits sauces for two to four people; choose 13cm for a larger table.

Warm the pan with hot water before adding a hot sauce, and the sauce stays warm for longer at the table.

Presentation tips

Set the hammered sauce pan on a side plate or a small wooden board with the handle turned towards the diner, and add a small serving spoon. Finish sauces with a garnish: fresh herbs on a gravy, a swirl of cream on a curry sauce, a sprinkle of chilli on a salsa. On a buffet, line several pans up in a row with labels so guests know what each sauce is.

For a dessert table, fill pans with warm chocolate sauce, toffee sauce and fruit coulis beside a bowl of ice cream or a plate of waffles.

Care for the brass handle

Brass can darken over time with use and washing. A soft cloth with a little lemon juice and salt, or a gentle brass polish used only on the handle, brings back the shine; rinse and dry the pan afterwards. Avoid leaving the hammered sauce pan to soak for long periods.
