saute pan
Shallow cooking pan
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's sloped sides, making it better for tossing ingredients and containing liquids: She deglazed the sauté pan with white wine.
