A cooking pan with straight sides 2½ to 3 inches high, depending on the diameter of the pan, and two handles, one long and one semicircular and attached on opposite sides; if the two handles are both semicircular the sautoir becomes a rondeau. A sautoir is used to prepare the same types of culinary preparations as a sauteuse or a rondeau.
