sauté pan
Flat-bottomed cooking vessel
A sauté pan is a wide, flat-bottomed cooking pan with straight sides and a lid, designed for sautéing—cooking food quickly in a small amount of fat over high heat.
The straight sides distinguish it from a skillet, which has sloped sides.
The shape allows for tossing food while keeping it contained: She browned the chicken in her sauté pan.
