The Pentole Agnelli Alluminio ALMA111B32 saute pan is a top-notch piece of cookware suitable for professional chefs or home cooks looking for restaurant-quality results.

With a generous diameter of 32cm, this pan is perfect for sauteing, searing, and frying a variety of dishes. The sleek silver finish adds a touch of elegance to any kitchen. Overall, a reliable and durable saute pan that delivers exceptional cooking performance.

This is an amazing pan. It heats evenly and nothing sticks, even fried eggs. It’s very lightweight. Love doing my pasta dishes with it, a must for Italian cooking.

Ths pan does not work on my induction oven. However, t is a great skipping pan for pasta.

This pan is fantastic in terms of the way it cooks food (I got the 32cm version); it brought my classic roman pasta dishes to the next level. It's definitely a professional tool though so a couple of points for home cooks to know: 1. The handle is VERY long (around 11.5 inches so almost a full foot). See attached pic of the overall size compared to my regular OXO 30cm non-stick pan. The pan is clearly made for working over large ranges and fire in professional kitchen and flipping the contents with two hands, but it becomes a bit of a hinderance in a home kitchen, especially if space is at a premium (I live in NYC so space is ultra premium haha). Challenging to store. 2. Since you cannot use a dishwasher, abrasive cleaners, steel wool, scrubbing brushes or even the coarse side of the sponge on this pan (or any aluminum pan) cleaning is almost impossible. After my first use I attempted to hand-wash the baked-on tomato and cheese and starch but it clung to the pan like nothing I've ever seen. I tried boiling vinegar in it to loosen the food, to no avail (it worked ok on the base but the walls of the pan were unaffected). I then tried soaking it overnight in vinegar - no change. I then tried soaking it for another few hours in soapy water - no change. It took me almost 25 minutes with a regular sponge and soapy water to even get close to getting the gunk off, and I still had to scrape off the gunk with my fingernail, and it's still got food residue on it (see pic of how it looks after all these steps). I'm not sure how professional kitchens handle this but this is absolutely not practical for home cleaning. It's sad because I loved the way this pan performs - it's simply not worth the monumental effort to clean it afterwards. I've gone ahead and returned it and will be purchasing the non-stick version instead: https://www.amazon.com/Pentole-Agnelli-Professional-Aluminium-Anti/dp/B00APW3OGU

Far exceeded my expectations. All the cooking videos from Italy show cooks using a very specific kind of pan, which is less heavy and has exactly the right shape for finishing pasta in the sauce. After looking into it, I learned that the pan has a name: "padella per mantecare." And of course you can find them here on Amazon. What a difference it makes. As a bonus, this brand's version is quite beautiful and well constructed. Highly recommended.

I use it almost every day for over a year, not just for pasta. Due to Aluminum's ability to conduct heat and large bottom area, water boils so fast that it's super convenient to cook vegetables, any kind of noodles, etc. With some practice in heat control, it can be used as a non-stick pan. Chicken and meat are done deliciously golden brown with small amount of oil. I'm happy with my purchase.

Excellent pan and great deal

It is the closest I can find if a pan I think makes it easier to “cream” pasta the process of mantecatura. But I bought a to small one unfortunately

I'm no professional chef so I've always used standard low cost kitchen ware. It was time for an upgrade and I wanted a high quality aluminium pan which does not have non-stick teflon coat. I expect this pan will last me for the rest of my life! it feels and looks exactly as I expected. The pan looks smaller in the images than it is in reality, thats because the handle is actually quite long and makes the bowl section in the image seem smaller. The longer handle feels good and perfect for longer professional chef spoons.. which I dont yet have! :) Even though the handle is also metal, it didn't get hot at all, I was able to cook at maximum gas well over 15 minutes on my modest home gas cooker, I didn't detect any increase in temperature at all, even up at the hilt it was barely warm. I didnt intend to use it in an oven yet so cant comment. Clearly the pan is designed to cope with much higher temperatures than I can throw at it, which you would expect from professional cookware used at home. The sturdy and overall high quality feeling of the pan for me, noticeably makes you feel more confidence to experiment. I do need a suitable lid :)

Although this pan indicates it is induction do not be fooled. IT DOES NOT WORK! Very disappointing. The pan however is light and shaped perfectly for those who love to cook.

Erg goed geholpen bij retourneren van de pan. Had het verkeer besteld en als retour aangemeld. Het was niet direct duidelijk dat daarbij een retourlabel (aangevraagd moest worden). Omslachtig. Een melding voor retour zou voldoende moeten zijn. Desalniettemin; erg goed geholpen door Maria ondanks dat de retour periode al ruim 2 weken was verstreken. Veel begrip gekregen en prima afgehandeld. Top service!

Artikel dat ik heb ontvangen is gebruikt. Na ontvangst en na het wassen met de hand in warm water met zacht sponsje zag buiten onderkant er uit als op foto. Binnenkant heeft krassen en kleine putjes . Dit moet veroorzaakt zijn door prikken met vork. Komt vaker voor dat gebruikte artikelen worden verkocht: zie 1 sterren op amazon.co.uk. Ga geen moeite doen en retourkosten betalen om produkt te retourneren naar Italie.

Pannan är stor nog att rymma en middag för en stor familj. Samtidigt väger den relativt lite. Ett måste om man gillar det italienska köket.
