Stainless steel sauce pots are suitable for making stocks, sauces, simmering and boiling foods such as pasta. Some chefs prefer cooking with stainless steel because it won't pit, discolor, or react with acidic foods. They are also suitable for induction style ranges, offering your chef a wide range of cooking possibilities. While generally more expensive than aluminum, with the proper care your stainless steel sauce pot can last a lifetime in your commercial kitchen.
