For generations, the saute pan has been a key tool of chefs and home cooks alike. With the MAKO Saute Pan, you’re getting this traditional piece of cookware upgraded with the very latest technology.

Available in non-stick and stainless steel.

Master quick sears, golden browning, reduction sauces and effortless one-pan meals - all with the control of tall, straight sides that keep everything contained as you move from stovetop to oven.

It’s been a go-to piece for chefs for years, which is why we’ve taken this timeless shape and elevated it with modern 5-ply technology. The long cool touch handle offers balance and manoeuvrability, while the tempered glass lid lets you keep an eye on your dish without lifting the cover or losing heat.

  • Effortless Searing: Perfect for browning chicken thighs, caramelising onions, crisping gnocchi or searing prawns without crowding. The straight sides keep ingredients contained while still giving you the space to toss, sauté and deglaze for rich, layered flavour.

  • Sauces Made Simple: The taller profile allows liquids to reduce beautifully without splashing, making it ideal for pan sauces, creamy pastas, risottos, curries and quick braises. From sear through to simmer - it’s the pan that does it all.

  • Consistent Controlled Heat: Engineered with 5-ply construction for fast, even heating and responsive temperature control. The long handle offers balance and precision, all while staying cool to touch when used on the stovetop.


There’s nothing like 5-ply cookware. MAKO’s Genius 5-Ply is next-generation cookware - delivering precision, consistency, and power that you can feel from the first use. Each Saute Pan is crafted with a Genius Copper™ core for lightning-fast heat-up, even cooking, and full control. From gentle sautes to mid-heat cooking, you’ll get flawless results with ease.

Our Genius 5-Ply Non-Stick coating is tough, slick, and engineered for professional-level non-stick performance. Cook with less oil, wipe clean easily, and enjoy a surface you can trust — made without PFOA, lead or cadmium. Oven and dishwasher safe — it’s convenience without compromise.
