Mepra Toscana 28cm Sauté Pan with Lid | Italian Stainless Steel

Where Tuscan Craftsmanship Meets Serious Cooking Performance

Some cookware is designed to perform. Some is designed to be admired. The Mepra Toscana 28cm Sauté Pan with Lid is one of the rare pieces that does both without compromise. Inspired by the rustic artisan traditions of Tuscany and engineered to the exacting standards of professional Italian cookware, this pan is as at home in a Michelin-starred kitchen as it is on your Sunday dinner table.

The Toscana's signature textured finish sets it apart from every other pan in your kitchen — visually and functionally. Beneath that distinctive surface lies premium 18/10 stainless steel with a 4.0mm thick base that delivers flawless, even heat distribution across the full 28cm cooking surface. No hot spots. No warping. No second-guessing. Just consistent, professional-grade results, every single time.

At 28cm, this pan handles everything from searing a whole chicken to braising short ribs, building a rich pasta sauce, or preparing a family-sized risotto. The dual handles offer balanced, secure control whether you're working over high heat or moving the pan directly from stovetop to oven. The fitted lid seals in steam, moisture, and flavour — essential for low-and-slow braises and delicate reductions that define great Italian cooking.

How to Use

Preheat over medium to medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes before adding oil. Use for searing proteins, building pan sauces, braising meat, cooking risotto, and preparing one-pan pasta dishes. Move directly to the oven with the lid on for slow braises. The 28cm surface also makes it ideal for serving directly at the table — the Toscana finish is striking enough to present as a centrepiece.

Care Instructions

Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to preserve the Toscana finish. Dry immediately after washing to prevent water spots. Deglaze with warm water while still warm to release any cooked-on residue effortlessly. Avoid steel wool or abrasive scrubbers. Hand washing is strongly recommended to maintain the textured surface and finish over the long term.
