Grilled vegetables on a ridged surface.
Asparagus or sliced vegetables you want to arrange in a grill pan on the hob.
A square, ridged surface offers a different way to arrange ingredients than a smooth frying pan. Choose the surface shape you need.
What makes it different
Choose the grill for a ridged surface. If your recipe needs a smooth surface, compare it with a frying pan.
A smooth surface for everyday dishes.
Breakfast eggs or stir-fried vegetables that need turning and stirring in an open pan.
Choose the diameter for the space you need to arrange and turn ingredients. This collection offers 24, 28 and 30 cm options.
What makes it different
A frying pan has a smooth surface and does not include a lid. For cooking with a lid, compare it with a sauté pan or saucepan.
From sauces to apples for dessert.
Stir sauces or poach apples according to your recipe in covered cookware.
An 18 cm diameter, 2 L nominal capacity and glass lid provide a format for sauces or dishes with liquid.
What makes it different
Choose the saucepan for an 18 cm covered format. If you need a wider surface with a lid, compare it with the 26 cm sauté pan.
From sautéing to cooking with a lid.
Sautéed vegetables, risotto or paella, according to your recipe.
A 26 cm diameter, 2.9 L nominal capacity and glass lid support recipes that move from open cooking to cooking with a lid.
What makes it different
The surface is wider than the 18 cm saucepan, and a lid is included. It is a different option from a frying pan without a lid.
Selected need: Saucy stir-fries. Compare the details before opening the store.
