Judge 16cm Draining Saucepan, 1.5L - Stainless Steel | J305EA

A 16cm Judge Vista saucepan built around a double-sided draining lid, so water pours off rice, pasta or vegetables straight from the pan without reaching for a colander.

The Judge J305EA is a 16cm draining saucepan from the Vista range, sized at 1.5 litres for sides, sauces and smaller portions. It's built in stainless steel with a non-stick interior and a stay-cool handle, and it suits cooks who are short on drawer space for a separate colander or sieve.

The standout feature is the double-sided draining lid, which lets you tip water away in two different flow rates and adjust steam release as you go, rather than removing the lid entirely. Internal measuring guides are moulded into the pan itself, and it's confirmed suitable for every hob type including induction, with an oven-safe rating to 180°C for finishing dishes gently.

Ideal for

Rice and pasta

The double-sided draining lid pours off water without a colander, making light work of rice, pasta and steamed vegetables for smaller portions or a quick side dish.

Compact kitchens

At 16cm and 1.5 litres, it takes up less hob and cupboard space than a larger pan while still handling sides and sauces for two people comfortably.

Induction hobs

Confirmed suitable for induction as well as every other hob type, so it moves with you if your cooktop changes down the line in a new home.

Key features

1.5 litre capacity

Sized for sides, sauces and smaller portions, without taking up more hob space than the meal in front of you actually needs.

Double-sided draining lid

Pours water away at two different rates without lifting the lid off entirely, or reaching for a separate colander at the sink.

Internal measuring guides

Moulded into the pan itself, so you can gauge quantities while cooking, without ever pulling out a separate measuring jug.

180°C oven-safe

Move the pan from hob to oven to finish a dish gently, without switching to a different pot partway through the recipe.

Induction ready

Confirmed suitable for use on every hob type including induction, so it isn't tied to one particular kind of cooktop or kitchen.

Stay-cool handle

Designed to stay comfortable to hold throughout cooking, for safe and secure handling all the way from hob to table.

More to know

A saucepan built around draining

Most saucepans treat draining as an afterthought, something you solve with a separate colander at the sink. The J305EA builds it into the lid itself: a double-sided design that pours water away at two different rates and adjusts steam release as you go. For rice, pasta or steamed vegetables, that means one less thing to find in a crowded cupboard, and one less item drying by the sink after dinner.

Sized for smaller everyday portions

Not every meal needs an 18cm pan. At 16cm and 1.5 litres, the J305EA is built for sides, sauces and portions for one or two, which also means it heats up faster and takes up less room on a crowded hob. The internal measuring guide moulded into the pan means you can judge quantities as you cook, rather than reaching for a jug mid-recipe.

One hob type covered, whichever you have

Judge confirms the J305EA works on every hob type including induction, gas, halogen, ceramic and solid plate, so it isn't a pan you'll need to replace if your kitchen changes. It's also oven safe up to 180°C, meaning a dish started on the hob can move to the oven to finish without transferring to a different pot. Between the draining lid, the induction rating and the oven-safe glass lid, this is a pan built to do several jobs well rather than one job brilliantly and nothing else.
