Pans & Frying Pans

When choosing a pan size, it depends on how many people you usually cook for and how large the food being fried is.

If you often eat with the whole family or with several guests, we recommend a pan diameter of 28 cm. This makes it easy to prepare even larger portions. If the diameter is too small, the food may not fit completely, or the pan may be so full that the ingredients do not heat evenly.

Since pans have rims of different thicknesses, the diameter of round pans is measured at the upper inner edge. This also helps ensure that pan lids fit universally.

Pan diameter vs. pan surface

The cooking surface of the pan, also called the pan surface, does not always match the pan diameter: with pans that have a thicker rim or a special shape, the inner surface is often smaller than the pan diameter. The area available to you for frying with a 28 cm frying pan therefore does not necessarily have to be 28 cm.

Make sure that the base of the pan fits the size of your hob to ensure even heat distribution. A pan that is too large for the hob will not heat evenly everywhere. If the cooking surface is smaller than the hob, valuable energy is lost.

Fissler aluminium pans are equipped with a high-quality non-stick coating. This makes the pan sets especially comfortable and easy to care for. A Fissler aluminium pan set with the exclusive CookStar® or Superthermic® base is suitable for

• Glaskeramik-,
• Gas-,
• Elektro-
• and induction hobs

Two practical sizes in one set

Our current sets each consist of two pans in different sizes. The diameters are 24 and 28 cm.

• A pan with a 24 cm diameter is ideal for preparing three fried eggs.
• For larger portions of four fried eggs or more, we recommend a pan with a 28 cm frying surface.

With the pan sets, you have the right pan size on hand to prepare a variety of dishes and portion sizes.

The non-stick coating made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is not only one of the best-known coatings, but also one of the best. That makes pans with a PTFE coating very easy-care products, because grease and ingredients do not stick. For cleaning, it is enough to

• wipe the pans with paper towels and
• wash them with warm water, a drop of dish soap, and a soft sponge to remove grease and cooking residue from the pan.

However, you should make sure to use only kitchen utensils made of wood or silicone and not expose the pan to excessively high temperatures in order to protect the non-stick coating for as long as possible.
