Frying buying notes
Read the frying guide →Compare the cost per unit
Choose one consistent unit: pieces, kilograms, litres or prepared litres, as appropriate. Divide total cost by the quantity. Do not compare unlike product types on price alone.
Cooking surface
Think about the portions you normally cook and check the dimensions provided. Do not estimate the flat base from a lifestyle photograph.
Base diameter
Read the care instructions for the specific surface: uncoated, seasoned or coated. Check utensil, cleaning and heat guidance. We do not turn a manufacturer’s performance claim into our own test result.
Care requirements
Keep the cleaning and utensil instructions beside the coating or surface description.
