The Vollrath 702170 7 Qt Tribute® Aluminum Saucepan is designed for high-performance kitchens that demand reliability, efficiency, and longevity. Its triple-layer construction—featuring an 18/0 stainless steel exterior, 18/8 stainless steel interior, and a conductive 3004 aluminum core—ensures superior heat retention and even distribution, reducing hot spots for consistent cooking results. Ideal for busy commercial kitchens, this saucepan is induction-ready, making it a versatile choice for both stovetop and oven use. The natural finish not only enhances durability but also provides a professional aesthetic, while the hollow, silicone handle, secured with EverTite™ rivets, offers superior grip and heat resistance (up to 450°F continuously or 600°F intermittently). Hand-washing is recommended to maintain the pan’s quality, ensuring it stands up to the demands of daily restaurant operations. Whether you're searing, simmering, or reducing sauces, this saucepan combines functionality with professional-grade performance, making it a must-have for any commercial kitchen.
