22cm Stainless Steel Sauteuse – nöni™ | Australian-Made, Non-Toxic, Induction Ready

The 22cm Stainless Steel Sauteuse from the nöni™ range by Solidteknics is a seamless, non-nickel stainless steel sauté pan manufactured in Sydney, Australia. With tall, tapered Windsor walls and a 1.75-litre capacity, the 22cm sauteuse bridges the gap between a frypan and a saucepan — designed for cooks who want one versatile pan for sauces, simmers, risottos, frittatas, small roasts and the kind of contained sauté work that needs depth as well as surface area. It is coating-free, PFAS-free, non-nickel and built to deliver multi-generational service across every modern heat source.

Material and Construction
The 22cm nöni™ Sauteuse is made from a single 3mm-thick sheet of highly conductive non-nickel stainless steel, with no synthetic coatings — no PTFE, no PFOA, no PFAS — and no aluminium core. There is nothing between you and the cooking surface but clean, dense, non-reactive stainless steel. Because the pan is wrought in one piece, there are no rivets, screws, welds or joins between the cooking surface and the handle. This seamless one-piece construction removes the common failure points of traditional stainless cookware and leaves a smooth interior with no crevices for food residue to lodge in. A precision-engineered concave base flattens for stable, even contact with the cooktop as the steel heats and expands.

Why a Sauteuse
The sauteuse — sometimes called a Windsor pan — sits between a skillet and a saucepan. The walls are taller and gently tapered, giving you enough depth to hold liquid for braising, simmering and reducing, while still angled out enough to allow free movement of food during a sauté toss.

Heat Source Compatibility
The 22cm nöni™ Sauteuse is fully induction-compatible and performs across every cooktop and heat source in modern domestic and commercial kitchens: induction cooktops, gas burners, electric coil and radiant ceramic, halogen, domestic and commercial ovens, BBQs and grills, pizza ovens, and open campfires and outdoor flames. The high conductivity of the wrought stainless construction means it heats quickly and retains heat efficiently — most cooks find medium heat replaces what they previously called high, lowering energy use over the life of the pan.

Dimensions and Capacity

* Cooking diameter: 22cm (measured at inner top rim)
* Stove contact surface: 17cm
* Bowl height: 5.4cm (deep Windsor walls)
* Height at handle: 10.5cm
* Total length: 45.5cm
* Weight: 1.1kg
* Capacity: 1.75 litres
* Material thickness: 3mm

At 1.1kg, it is the lightest sauté pan in the nöni™ range — easy to manoeuvre one-handed during the toss, yet substantial enough to retain heat for searing and reduction.
Handle Design
The long ergonomic handle is vented to stay cool enough to grip on the stovetop, and is forged from the same single sheet as the pan body — fully oven, grill and flame safe, with no plastic or silicone to melt and no rivets or joins to fail.

Use Cases
The 22cm nöni™ Sauteuse is the everyday workhorse for the cook who wants depth and versatility from a single pan:

* Risottos, paella, grain dishes and sautéed or stir-fried vegetables
* Slow-simmered tomato sauces, ragùs, pan sauces, wine reductions and gravies
* Frittatas, dutch babies and oven-baked egg dishes
* Small roasts and braises, plus cakes, cobblers and skillet desserts
* Soups, curries and dahls, poached eggs, blanched greens and shallow-poached fish

Unlike seasoned iron pans, the non-reactive stainless surface is fully compatible with acidic and liquid-based foods. It will not rust, strip seasoning, or impart metallic flavours to wine reductions, vinegar, citrus or tomato sauces — making it the right pan for saucy, slow-cooked dishes.

Pairs With
The 22cm Sauteuse is designed to pair with the nöni™ 22cm Skillet-Lid (sold separately), creating an oven-to-table duo: the sauteuse for the base dish and the skillet-lid as a high-performance shallow frypan, baking tray or roaster on its own.

Care and Cleaning
The 22cm nöni™ Sauteuse is dishwasher safe and requires no seasoning. The seamless one-piece design has no joins to trap food residue or detergent, and can be scrubbed, soaked and returned to high heat without damage; handwashing preserves the brushed stainless finish over time. Each pan is stamped with the month and year of manufacture and supplied with a calico storage bag.

What Differentiates This Stainless Steel Sauteuse
Most stainless sauteuses are thin-gauge austenitic stainless with an aluminium core, riveted handles and added nickel. The 22cm nöni™ Sauteuse replaces that with a single 3mm sheet of highly conductive non-nickel stainless steel, made in Sydney and backed by a multi-century warranty — one of the only non-nickel, coating-free, seamless stainless sauteuses made in Australia, engineered to be passed between generations rather than replaced.
