This wiki has been updated 22 times since it was first published in November of 2018. Most home cooks have all the basic essentials, like stockpots and skillets, but if you haven't invested in a sauteuse, you're missing out. Unlike traditional sauté pans, they're designed for both stovetop and oven use, making them perfect for casseroles, braises, and other one-pot meals. Our list includes options made from a variety of materials at price points to fit just about anyone's budget. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

She spent two years as a writer and editor for a large DIY/tutorial startup, where she wrote extensively about technology, security, lifestyle, and home improvement. A self-professed skincare nerd, she’s well-versed in numerous ingredients and methods, including both Western and Asian products. She is an avid home cook who has whiled away thousands of hours cooking and obsessively researching all things related to food and food science. Her time in the kitchen has also had the curious side effect of making her an expert at fending off attempted food thievery by her lazy boxer dog.
