What is a "saucepan"?
A saucepan is a small, deep cooking vessel with a flat bottom, tall straight sides, and a long handle. It is typically made of metal, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or copper, and may have a lid. Saucepans come in various sizes, ranging from small to large, and are used for a wide range of cooking tasks, including boiling water, simmering sauces, cooking grains, and heating liquids. They are versatile kitchen tools that are suitable for use on stovetops, induction cooktops, and even in ovens for certain recipes.
