Use a sloped-sided sauté pan to help toss and flip food while sautéing
A sauté pan with slightly sloped sides makes it easier to move food and flip it back onto itself.
The instructor highlights a 12-inch sauté pan and points out the sloped sides as the feature that helps when sautéing and tossing. The pan shape is tied directly to the motion of flipping food in the pan.
The short version
- Slightly sloped sides help with sauté tossing/flipping
- A wider pan (e.g., ~12-inch) gives room to move food
Why it works
Sloped sides guide food up and back down during a tossing motion, improving control.
