Really loving this piece. I recently learned it’s not a rondeau, but a two-handled sauté pan. It’s 30cm, so it is spacious like a skillet, but the sides are tall enough to keep oil splatter inside while still allowing good airflow. I’m using it almost every time I cook. The lining was old but in good shape so I didn’t have it retinned and so far it’s been terrific. 140 years old or so and still going strong!

Really excited to use this antique rondeau. It has enough space to spread out the carrots and onions of this Moroccan chraime braise. And the saucepan in the background is perfect for quinoa— after it’s cooked, I turn the heat off and it keeps things warm while I finish the vegetables. I love using one piece from the 1880s and another from the 1980s — they make great teammates despite their age difference!

When a one-pan recipe calls for a frying pan, oftentimes I reach for a rondeau instead. It can serve two roles: if I match the rondeau size to the food I’m cooking, I don’t need to crowd stuff in the pan, so I get a nice hot sauté. And when it comes time to add veggies to cook down, the rondeau’s sidewalls keep it all contained. This lovely vintage copper rondeau has been a great utility player for me.

I like having two 30cm copper skillets. I use them side by side all the time — here it’s to sauté some cauliflower rice, and also to cook some ground turkey with masala. Plenty of floor space for the dry sauté for the proteins. Both of these are tinned, probably 1970s or 80s, 2.5mm and 3mm.
