Choosing a pan

Which diameter and capacity should you choose?

The right diameter depends on your usual quantities. A pan under 20 cm suits individual portions, sauces and milk; a 20 to 25 cm format covers versatile family use; beyond that, models over 25 cm suit large quantities. Having several sizes lets you match the pan to the volume you are cooking.

Which material to favour?

Stainless steel remains the safe choice: sturdy, neutral in contact with food and easy to maintain. Copper offers thermal responsiveness valued for precise cooking and sweet preparations. The choice depends on your use, budget and the heat behaviour you are looking for.

What about hob compatibility?

If you cook on induction, look towards induction pans or all-hobs models, whose base is designed for this heat source. Always check the compatibility statement, and favour a thick or multi-layer base for even heat distribution.

Which options for specific preparations?

For serving mussels and saucy dishes, the mussel pot offers a format suited to moving from cooking to table. Also consider adding a frying pan or a saute pan depending on your preparations.
