Mepra Stile 28cm Sauté Pan | Italian Stainless Steel

The Everyday Sauté Pan That Never Lets You Down

Every serious kitchen has one pan it reaches for first. For searing a chicken breast, browning onions for a sauce, tossing a quick stir-fry, or finishing a one-pan dinner for four — it's not the biggest pan in the cabinet, and it's not the smallest. It's the Mepra Stile 28cm Sauté Pan: the sweet spot that earns a permanent place on your stovetop.

Crafted in Italy from premium 18/10 stainless steel with a 4.0mm thick base, the Stile 28cm delivers the even, controlled heat that turns good ingredients into exceptional meals. The mirror-polished Stile finish adds a layer of visual refinement that most workhorses don't offer — this is a pan that performs like a professional tool and looks like a design object. Dual handles provide balanced, ergonomic control whether you're working at high heat, deglazing with wine, or moving the pan from stovetop to oven to table.

Without a lid, this pan is optimised for open cooking — the techniques that define great sautéing: high-heat searing, quick reductions, crispy pan-frying, and building flavour through fond. It's the pan that rewards confident, attentive cooking and delivers results that are impossible to achieve in a lesser piece of cookware.

How to Use

Preheat over medium to medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes before adding oil or butter. For best results with stainless steel, allow proteins to naturally release before flipping — they will when they're ready. Use for searing chicken, fish, and steak; pan-frying potatoes and vegetables; building wine or stock-based sauces from the fond; and tossing pasta with sauce. Transfer to the oven for finishing dishes. The Stile's mirror finish makes it elegant enough to serve from directly at the table.

Care Instructions

Dishwasher safe — guaranteed for 3,000+ commercial cycles. For best results and to maintain the mirror-polished Stile finish, hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Deglaze with warm water while still warm to release any residue effortlessly. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and steel wool to preserve the polished surface long-term.
