The 5-quart Rachael Ray Saute Pan was deliberately designed to be oval in shape so that it could fit on your stove top even if you had multiple pieces on it. It has deep sides (3 inches deep, 13.5 inches long), giving you lots of room to stir around your ingredients while you cook, and allows you to continue adding ingredients. Its body is made of hard anodized aluminum, making it light but sturdy.
