Cooker King 22cm non-stick saucepan review

The Cooker King 22cm non-stick saucepan is a compact everyday pot that punches above its size. You get a glass lid, a PFOA-free non-stick surface, and a multi-purpose shape that works as a saucepan and a small stew pot. It’s our Best Saucepan pick for a small Pinoy kitchen that cooks for one to three.

How well does it cook?

At 22cm, this is a small pot built for the everyday jobs: simmering sauces, boiling eggs, blanching veggies, reheating last night’s ulam, and cooking sinigang or nilaga for one to three people. The non-stick surface keeps sauces and lugaw from caking onto the bottom, so stirring is easy and washing up is quick. The glass lid lets you watch a simmer without lifting the cover and losing heat, which helps sauces reduce and rice cook evenly. The deep saucepan shape holds enough liquid for soups and boiling, so it doubles as a small stew pot.

How well is it made?

It’s light, so it’s easy to lift and pour one-handed, and it warms up quickly on a small burner. The coating is PFOA-free, which is Cooker King’s standard claim across its non-stick range, so there’s no PFOA in the surface. The trade-off is the usual one for non-stick cookware: keep the heat at low to medium and use wooden or silicone utensils, because metal spoons and very high heat wear the coating down over time. The listing doesn’t confirm induction support for this size, so if you cook on induction, check with the seller first; it works fine on gas and electric.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,900 as of July 23, 2026, and Cooker King pieces like this often dip lower during Shopee’s big sale events (the double-date sales like 7.7 and 9.9), so it’s worth timing your order. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a branded, PFOA-free saucepan with a glass lid that also works as a small stew pot, that’s fair value, and it’s our Best Saucepan pick for a small kitchen. A generic no-name pot costs less upfront, but budget non-stick usually peels faster with daily use, so the small premium buys you a longer-lasting surface.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you cook for one to three people and want one small, easy pot for sauces, soups, boiling, and reheating, with a glass lid so you can watch it simmer. It’s a great fit for a bedspacer, a dorm, a small condo kitchen, or as a dedicated sauce and lugaw pot in a bigger household. If you regularly cook big-batch ulam or boil pasta for a crowd, size up to a larger pot or a wok instead.
