Castel'Pro Stainless Steel Mini Saucepan by Cristel

The Castel'Pro® Mini Saucepan is offered in 0.3-, 0.5-, and 0.7-quart capacities for the smallest stovetop jobs: a sauce for two, melted butter, a custard component, a glaze, or reheating something that would disappear in a larger vessel. The 3-ply stainless-and-aluminum construction responds quickly to heat changes, which is particularly useful when the quantity is small and easy to overcook.

“Small quantities deserve small pans. A cup of sauce in a three-quart saucepan spreads too thinly and becomes harder to control. This is exactly where a mini saucepan earns its keep: not because it is charming, though it is, but because proportion improves the cooking.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
