22cm Iron Sauteuse

22cm Iron Sauteuse – AUS-ION™ | Australian-Made Deep-Sided Iron Pan

The AUS-ION™ 22cm Sauteuse is an Australian-made seasoned iron pan with deeper sides than a standard skillet, made in Australia from clean 3mm-thick Aussie iron. That extra depth makes it ideal for one-pan meals — frittatas, scrambled eggs, baking bread and cakes, and small roasts — and it is equally at home deep frying and pan searing, with no rivets, welds or synthetic coatings anywhere on the pan.

Patented Seamless One-Piece Design

Like every AUS-ION™ pan, the 22cm Sauteuse uses a patented seamless, one-piece design: no rivets, no welds, and no toxic or short-lived coatings. The iron body provides excellent heat retention and thermal mass for consistent, even cooking, while the heavily vented ergonomic handle dissipates heat to reduce transfer at the grip during normal stovetop use. The Australia map cut-out in the handle doubles as a hanging point for storage, and a carefully engineered concave in the base allows for metal expansion when the pan is heated.

Induction, Oven, BBQ and Campfire Compatible

This iron sauteuse is suitable for induction and all stovetops, BBQs and campfires, plus all non-microwave ovens — even charcoal and pizza ovens. It is designed to fit a standard 600mm domestic oven, so one-pan meals can start on the cooktop and finish under heat in the oven.

Seasoned with the Quenched™ Finish

The pan arrives seasoned with the Quenched™ finish and ready to use, with seasoning applied using 100% non-GMO rice bran oil. Traditional oil-based seasoning is healthy, toxin-free and forever renewable — the only low-stick cooking surface that can be restored indefinitely and need never be thrown away. Care is simple: read the seasoning and care guide before first use, then keep the pan clean, dry and lightly oiled between cooks so the surface keeps improving.

One-Pan Meals, Small Roasts and More

The 22cm sauteuse shape suits cooks who want a single pan to do more: weekend frittatas, scrambled eggs for two, baked bread and cakes, small roasts, shallow braises, deep frying and searing. At just 1.1kg it is light enough for everyday handling while still carrying the thermal mass that makes iron cookware sear so well.

An Australian-Made Heirloom

Every other non-stick cooking surface is an applied coating that is either toxic or short-lived, ultimately destined for landfill. AUS-ION™ takes the opposite approach: clean Australian iron, made in Australia, with natural seasoning that renews forever. Backed by a multi-century warranty and date stamped for this generation and the next, the 22cm Sauteuse is built to become a family heirloom — and pairs beautifully with AUS-ION™ frypans and the nöni™ non-nickel stainless steel range for a complete non-toxic kitchen.

Sauteuse or Frypan?

Choose the sauteuse when depth matters more than width: its 5.4cm walls hold sauces, batters and frying oil in a way a standard 4cm frypan bowl cannot, while the 22cm diameter keeps the pan light and quick to heat at just 1.1kg. For wide, flat searing, the 26cm and 30cm AUS-ION™ frypans remain the better tools — many cooks run a frypan and a sauteuse as a two-pan kit that covers nearly everything.
