Made In CeramiClad Nonstick Saucier Review

I had never heard of a saucier until Made In Cookware’s model showed up at my door in January. My first thought was that it looks like a cross between a braiser and a saucepan. It’s taller than the former, shallower than the latter, and has a rounded base that’s ideal for stirring. My second thought was that I couldn’t wait to start cooking with it. 

Made In Cookware 3-Quart Saucier 

Made In, the brand behind some of my favorite oversized stockpots and carbon steel griddles, launched a line of ceramic-clad cookware — cleverly labeled “CeramiClad” by the company —  in January. The team reimagined its most popular stainless steel pieces, giving them a ceramic, nonstick coating that’s free from harmful chemicals and ridiculously easy to clean. All of the pieces in the line were appealing, but I was most excited about the saucier. I couldn’t wait to test this new-to-me shape with Made In’s new-to-launch surface. 

I did a little research before I started cooking to understand how to best use a saucier. As it turns out, the shape is purpose-built for — you guessed it — sauces. Because the pan doesn’t have any corners, your whisks and wooden spoons encounter no resistance while mixing, which significantly reduces the chances of food sticking or burning in those hard-to-reach places. Made In’s model also has a flared lip that has come in handy more times than I can count. No more drips or messes for me while transferring ingredients from one vessel to another. 

Since you won’t often find me whipping up béchamel on a casual weeknight, one of the first things I made was a simple cherry and sun-dried tomato sauce with plenty of olive oil and garlic for spaghetti, pictured below. It was such a pleasure not having to navigate sharp corners while stirring salty pasta water into an oily sauce that I soon found myself making increasingly more complicated recipes, like risotto, caramel, and pastry cream, just to test the limits of the pan. Spoiler alert: I found none. 

For someone who doesn’t make fancy sauces that often, I’ve had no issue incorporating my Made In saucier into my daily routine. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it’s already replaced the skillets and saucepans I used to rely on. It can do everything they can do — and then some. Plus, it takes mere seconds to clean thanks to its nonstick, ceramic surface. 

If you’re in the market for a versatile pan that’s as easy to cook with as it is to wash, look no further than Made In’s saucier. It’s likely to become your favorite tool after just one use.
