AST - Saute Pan

AST- Saute Pan

Soy AST Series Saute Pans are 100% handmade products and are the pride of Turkish coppersmith craft.

These are the ideal kitchen utensils for flambéing and sautéing, but are also perfect for searing and roasting meats, and if well cared for they will easily last several lifetimes.

Our products are the best sauté pans in the world. Their solid copper bodies and silver plating are excellent heat conductors, giving you excellent control while cooking.

Our products are the best pans for professionals and enthusiast amateurs alike.

All labor is done entirely by hand and hammering. There is no machine work or pressing process.

Current Soy Handles are our patented Soyactite Bronze alloy. The handles are carefully polished by our craftsmen who come from the jewelery background. This special workmanship ensures solid use for a lifetime.

The handles are mounted to the main body with 5 or 8 rivets made of solid white copper and are incredibly durable, yet can be easily removed by us when maintenance is required.

The bronze alloy (Soyactite) we use was developed in-house in 2012 and is extremely different from its Western European counterparts. In Western Europe, a highly conductive brass or bronze aluminum alloy is usually used. The one we use is extremely hard and insulating, which provides 5 times better performance than cast iron.

Additionally, thanks to the patented triple prong design, the handle heats up much more slowly than the cast iron handles found on Belgian and French-made pans. Under industrial fire it takes 5 or 6 times longer to reach uncomfortable temperatures compared to a product of the same volume from its French competitor.

AST12-16-20 is produced with a single long handle, but the larger AST24 and AST28 are produced with two handles on each side, one long and one short.

Every professional product we produce also comes with a hand-stamped serial number. This gives us information, even in the future, about when the product was produced and to whom it was sold. We track every product through the corporate program.
