This wiki has been updated 21 times since it was first published in February of 2019. While you can make sauces and gravies in regular cookware, the more resources and energy you spend on complicated recipes, the more you'll realize it's time to invest in a saucier. Our selection will offer you the construction you need in order to avoid hot spots, along with rounded, sloped sides that will accommodate frequent whisking and allow reductions to evaporate faster. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. Le Creuset Tri-Ply

2. All-Clad 4212

3. Anolon Nouvelle

Editor's Notes

February 28, 2019:

When working with complicated and time-consuming sauces, many experienced cooks will spend whatever it takes to get the most even heating but we also wanted to include a few options for beginners who are just dabbling and not ready to make a large investment into their cookware. The Le Creuset Tri-Ply and the All Clad 4212 took the top spots because they are the perfect shape for whisking and plus they offer reliable heating distribution and retention.

4. Le Creuset Cast-Iron

5. Zwilling Aurora

6. Anolon Anodized

7. Cuisinart Chef's Classic

8. Viking Professional 5-Ply

9. Emeril Lagasse 1-Quart

10. Farberware Classic
