Why this saucepan deserves a place in your kitchen

A saucepan may not be the most glamorous piece of cookware, but it is the most used. From béchamel sauce on a weekday evening to rice for the whole family on the weekend - this is the pan you reach for time and again. And that’s why it pays to invest in quality. The KitchenAid Classic Forged is built to last for years, and you’ll notice it with every use.

• PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating - Milk, sauces, and rice slide right out, without boiling the pan full of chemicals. Conscious cooking simply tastes better.
• Extra thick, forged base - Heat distributes quickly and evenly, no hot spots, no burnt edges.
• 3.1-litre capacity - Spacious enough for rice, soup, or a hearty pasta sauce for the family. Not too big, not too small.
• Handle stays cool - No pot holder needed while stirring. The handle remains cool, even during intense cooking.
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction. You don’t have to worry about a thing.
• Dishwasher safe - Just pop it in the dishwasher. Because after a delicious meal, you deserve a break, not scrubbing.

Forged Aluminium: Speed and Character in One

The secret of a good pan largely lies in the base. The Classic Forged is made from forged aluminium - a material that is shaped under enormous pressure during the production process. The result? A base that is thicker, stronger, and more stable than that of a regular cast or pressed pan. That extra thickness ensures that heat spreads rapidly - from the centre to the edges - and that the temperature remains stable, even when you add a lump of butter or a splash of cold sauce. No surprises, no burning, just even cooking as it should be.

Weighing in at 950 grams, the pan is pleasantly sturdy without feeling excessively heavy. Just the right balance when carrying it full of soup from the stove to the table.

The PFAS-free Ceramic Layer: Safe, Fair, and Forgiving

More and more people want to know what’s in their pans - and rightly so. The Classic Forged features a 100% PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating. No PFOA, no PFAS, no substances to worry about. Just a smooth, heat-resistant ceramic layer that ensures your milk doesn’t burn and your béchamel stays velvety smooth.

The inside is seamlessly finished, meaning there are no gaps or edges where food residues can hide. Cleaning is surprisingly quick - whether you choose to do it by hand or in the dishwasher. And because the coating is so smooth, you also need much less fat while cooking. That’s good for your dish and for your conscience.

One thing to keep in mind: ceramic coatings prefer moderate heat. You never need to crank the pan up to the highest setting - the forged base distributes heat so well that medium heat is more than enough. This way, you can enjoy those perfect non-stick performances for years to come.

Versatile Use - From Stove to Oven

Flexibility is half the victory in a busy kitchen. This KitchenAid saucepan works on all heat sources: gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, and induction. No hassle, no exceptions. And do you have a dish that you want to finish off in the oven? No problem - the pan is oven safe up to 160 °C. Think of a creamy potato gratin or a gently cooked rice dish that you keep warm in the oven while you set the table.

The pan is also stackable, making it ideal for those who want to make smart use of cupboard space. KitchenAid has really thought about the practicality of everyday life - and you can see that.

Handle: Cool Head, Warm Meal

Nothing is more annoying than a handle that feels hot after five minutes of cooking. The Classic Forged has an ergonomic handle made of plastic (phenolic resin) that stays cool during cooking. You pick up the pan, stir, pour - and you don’t burn your hand. Sounds simple, but the difference in usability is enormous. Especially when you also have to set the table, help a child, or answer the phone halfway through cooking.

The total length of the pan including the handle is 39.4 cm, making it manageable even in smaller kitchens.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Always preheat the saucepan on medium heat before adding anything. This way, you achieve an even temperature more quickly and get the most out of the ceramic layer. For rice: use a ratio of 1 part rice to 2 parts water, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and let the Classic Forged do its work. Result: fluffy, separate rice grains, no stuck bottom.
