Saucepans with good lips...

[kitwilliams]

Any recommendations for stainless saucepans with a lip that seems to pour well? When making buttercream, I just can't use my All Clad because it dribbles all over the effing place. When shopping around, salespeople think I'm a freak when I ask if I can put some water in a pan to see how well it pours...I do the same when buying a teapot...if it isn't going to have a clean pour, I just don't want it! Same with a saucepan. I guess the lip can't be too thick, which is why the All Clad sucks in this regard.

Anyone?

Thanks!

The inexpensive Emeril All Clad Saucier ($20 at Bed Bath an Beyond) is stainless with a lip. Made for south paws it appears however.

Thanks, Kerry. I'll go check that out.

I actually don't mean that I need a little pouring lip, just a pan with a rim that doesn't dribble.

Hate the dribbling.

For home use, I like the TFAL brand (it's nonstick). At work, I have one or two Bourgeat saucepans, and a similarly heavy pan that looks a lot like the Bourgeats but I got them at a rest supply store and can't remember the brand.

They don't dribble...

The lips on all of my Sitram cookware are excellent for pouring.

Le Creuset's stainless clad line has a great pouring lip. My Demeyere Sirocco saucepans pour beautifully, but they're a little expensive if you just need a pouring lip.

Thanks for all the tips, gang.

Now, it's time to shop!

I, too, have always hated that All Clad pots dribble on pouring. They fixed that problem in their latest line of Copper Core pots-- they have rolled rims.

Kit,

If you are looking at fully clad stainless pans, check out the Calphalon Tri-ply pans, LeCreuset tri-ply pans, Henckels pans, Cuisinart Multi-Clad pans, Anolon Advanced Clad, or Gourmet Standard tri-ply pans.
