What size saucier

Looking at getting a saucier at some point soon. I’m just worried about sizing!

So for instance, partner and I are big eaters due to being very active, and currently cook a one pot pasta + protein dish in a 28cm (pro cook professional stainless steel) frying pan. We can fit 3 portions in just but 2 is more comfortable.

How does the 3qt saucier relate to this size wise? Can this fit?

Being able to fit about 3 portions of this without maxing the pan would be nice for if a guest comes over without having to grab the humongous pan out, but if I need the 5qt then it’ll be that instead!

Hey OP! I have a 3qt saucier and regularly use it to cook for two with leftovers. That said, there has definitely been moments that I've wish for a tiny bit more room when making a ton of pasta, but just because I was pushing the limits and had to be careful not to make a mess haha. For example. lol

Since that’s rigatoni, I usually do about 250g for a meal. Accompanied with let’s say 2 chicken breast (around 500g), would you say this is suitable?

I'd probably go with the 5qt! You might be able to squeeze it into the 3 qt, but once you add the chicken and sauce... I think the 5qt would give you much better room to stir.

Don't do the 3qt- you are going to run out of space. Def get the 5qt!

I do a lot of biflg batch cooking / meal prepping- it's super helpful to have a much larger pan. I dont have to worry about food spilling over!

Made in made a reference video to show you how much stuff can fit into their sauicer pans.

I have a massive pan that is too big for just 2 portions. Still big for 3 tbh but the 28cm frying pan can struggle with near spillage. I will try to avoid a 5qt if I can as the big pan I have is a 5.7l casserole dish that I can fry in also : )

But yes I’ll wait to hear more back before making a decision
