Saucepans / buying notes

Saucepans: before you order

Choose the capacities and diameters you use, then check the material and hob compatibility. A set is useful only if its sizes are useful.

Keep capacity and diameter beside each other. Where the seller specifies whether a diameter refers to the rim or base, retain that distinction.

Read the instructions for hob use, oven temperatures and cleaning. A body, handle and lid can have different limits, even when they arrive as one pan.

Keep these details together

• Diameter and capacity
• Material
• Hob compatibility
