Buying a frying pan, what do you pay attention to? 

Are you planning to buy a frying pan? Then there are a number of important aspects that you should pay attention to. Below you can read some points to help you when buying a frying pan.

• Material : Choose a frying pan that is made of good quality materials. For example, choose a frying pan made of stainless steel or cast iron. These are durable materials that last a long time and can retain their heat extra well, so you use less energy.
• Dimensions : Look at the dimensions of the skillet. A frying pan is generally used for one-pot dishes. Do you have big eaters at home? Then go for a large frying pan of, for example, 28 or 30 cm. Do you need to fill less large stomachs? Then a 24 cm pan is also an excellent choice! Internal linking to product pages

With which dish do you use a frying pan?

A saute pan, also known as a sauté pan, is similar in shape to a large frying pan, but has a higher edge (and a different function). The high rim ensures that you can easily stir your food without spilling. This makes a frying pan very suitable for one-pot dishes or for baking large quantities. In addition, many stews, stir-fries, dishes with sauce or thicker pieces of meat are prepared. A real 'everything baker'. A skillet often comes with a glass lid, so you can always keep a close eye on your cooking creations, while the food continues to simmer nicely. In short, a frying pan is perfect for preparing the tastiest (extensive) one-pot meals, stew or large quantities. A frying pan should therefore not be missing in your kitchen.
