Ten inch Stainless Steel PanYes, you could call this a saute pan, if you truly get the food to jump up in the air. In French, saute means to jump, so when your recipe says to "saute onions until translucent" that means to sweat the onions and not to make them jump in the air. I bought this pan at TJ Max, because I wanted to be able to flip eggs with our a spatula, thus meaning I had one less thing to wash when I finish eating my eggs.
