In Pakistani kitchens, a saucepan (often called pateeli or deghchi) is not just for sauces—it is a daily essential. The Anodized Saucepan with Lid is designed for frequent use, offering durability, even heat distribution, and reliable performance for everyday cooking.
Made with a hard anodized body, this saucepan is stronger than regular aluminum, resistant to stains, and suitable for repeated boiling and reheating. Its depth and balance make it perfect for chai, daal, salan, milk, and small-batch cooking.
