What the Saucier?

This French-inspired pot actually makes you a better chef thanks to some thoughtful design tweaks from your typical pot.

When Misen started, we had an eerie obsession with the tools the pros use. They cook for a living, so if they’re using a certain tool, it’s probably for a good reason.

We spent a lot of time talking to the pros, taking tours of their kitchens, and watching them work. And we quickly started seeing this pot with sloped walls everywhere.

So we asked, what’s with the funky looking saucepan? Well, that funky looking pot has a name - Saucier. And this French-inspired pan actually makes you a better chef thanks to some thoughtful design tweaks from your typical pot. Trust us, you’ll never want to use a regular pot again after you’ve cooked with a saucier.

Most cookware sets come with a saucepan, which is your average looking pot with straight walls. The Saucier is noticeably different because of its curved and sloped walls.

Goodbye Burnt Food

The unique sloped walls allow for spoons and whisks to reach all the food that normally would get stuck in a crevice. So you get consistent stirring, and zero stuck-on and burned bits of food.

Generic Saucepans

Non-Sloped Walls

Traditional pots have straight walls that trap bits of food in the corners, leaving them to burn.

What Makes Great Cookware?

At a glance, stainless steel cookware is deceptively simple. Especially since most looks the same. But there are a few things that really matter.

Starting with the thickness

A thicker pan (like Misen’s 5-ply) allows for more distance between the flame and the surface of the pan. Heat diffuses as it flows, so the extra distance allows heat to flow to the surface evenly (and be retained longer).

The result? Even heating, better browning, quicker boiling, and cookware that’s actually fun to use.

The Perfect Blend of Metals

Alternating layers of high-grade stainless steel and aluminum make this the perfect cookware.

Handcrafted Down to the Smallest Detail

It took three years of obsessing over the tiniest details to create our cookware. It had to be good enough for the rigors of a professional kitchen, while being easy enough to use for home cooks of all skill levels.

We spent countless hours talking to and observing at-home chefs. At every step along the way, our cookware has been stress tested by professional chefs, avid home cooks, industrial designers, and total beginners to cooking.

We painstakingly went through countless sketches, CAD files, and over 32 3D prototypes until we landed on a design we’d be proud to offer you. The result? High-quality cookware that’s as beautiful and sleek as it is functional and durable, and will last you a lifetime.

It’s Easier to Clean Than a Saucepan

All Misen cookware is dishwasher safe. But if you need to hand-wash, then you’re in luck.

Another benefit of the saucier over the saucepan is that the rounded walls make it easier to clean. If you’ve ever tried to scrape out cooked food from the edge of a pan, then you’ll appreciate just how easy this pot is to clean.

We Could Charge A Lot, But We’d Prefer Not To

We could easily charge $250 for a pot like some other companies based on the quality. But $109 is fair.

By partnering closely with our factories and selling directly to you online, we’re able to offer incredible cookware at wholesale pricing. Better materials, lower price. It’s a simple maxim that we take seriously at Misen.

No Risk, All Reward.

Buy it once. Use it for life. We're confident this is the best cookware you'll ever own for a price that'll make you feel savvy. But we understand you may be skeptical. So give it a try. Worry-free.
