Frying / buying notes

Frying: before you order

A frying pan’s rim diameter and flat cooking area can differ. Compare the same measurement before choosing a size.

Think about the portions you normally cook and check the dimensions provided. Do not estimate the flat base from a lifestyle photograph.

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.

Keep these details together

• Cooking surface
• Base diameter
• Care requirements
