This weekend, for the first time in along time, I attempted to make homemade tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes. While I love cooking, I usually just buy some of my favorite canned marinara sauce when I making a pasta dinner. The sauce is very tasty and has the natural ingredients my family prefers. But recently a friend of ours had more ripe tomatoes from her garden then she knew what to do with. So she gave me a big batch and I decided to try and make my own sauce with them. Unfortunately my skillet wasn’t as deep as I would have like and I had to make it in two batches so it didn’t spill over onto the stove. I really could have used a skillet like this Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel 12 Inch Saute Pan.

This fabulous deep-sided covered saute pan has a durable nonstick interior, grippy silicone handles and an attractive glass lid. The enamel exterior is easy to clean and quite beautiful – available in a bright orange or bright blue finish.

The pan is even oven-safe to 400 degrees if you need to keep your food warm until you’re ready to eat. I think I’ll have to treat myself to this gorgeous, versatile pan so I can make my own sauce more often!
