C@H FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Pronounced Saw-tay.  A good sauté pan is essential to every kitchen. It doesn't have to be expensive but it must have a flat even bottom that won't buckle under heat - otherwise liquids and fats will pool and foods could burn or cook unevenly - and if it has a non-stick surface make sure it is durable (use wooden utensils only for non-stick to prevent scratching the surface.   Onions, garlic, mirepoix, mushrooms and peppers are foods that are often sautéed.
