Frequently asked questions about Saucepan

Welke extra functies kunnen een steelpan handiger maken?
Steelpannen hebben vaak handige extra’s die het koken makkelijker maken. Zo zijn er modellen met een schenktuit, waardoor je sauzen of melk precies en zonder knoeien kunt gieten. Sommige pannen hebben een maataanduiding aan de binnenzijde, wat handig is bij recepten of porties. Ergonomische handgrepen blijven koel en liggen prettig in de hand, en pannen zijn soms verkrijgbaar in zwart of met een moderne afwerking die mooi staat in de keuken.
Kan ik een steelpan combineren met andere pannen in mijn keuken?
Ja, een steelpan is perfect te combineren met andere pannen. Je kunt bijvoorbeeld een steelpannen set gebruiken om meerdere maten tegelijk in huis te hebben. Een steelpan werkt goed samen met grotere kookpannen voor soepen, pasta of stoofgerechten. Kies bij voorkeur pannen van dezelfde materiaalsoort of met een inductiebodem, zodat je efficiënt kookt en de warmte gelijkmatig wordt verdeeld.

Buying a steelpan: what should you pay attention to?

Before you buy a saucepan, ask yourself these questions:

  • How many people do I usually cook for?
  • What heat source do I use?
  • Do I want ease of maintenance or maximum heat storage?
  • Do I need a lid?


Also consider practical extras like a pour spout, measuring scales, or an ergonomic handle. Do you enjoy varied cooking? Then a saucepan set is a smart addition to your kitchen.

Which size saucepan suits your cooking style?

Steelpan is a collective term for various sizes. The right size really makes a difference in ease of use.


Small size (± 12 cm)
A small saucepan of about 12cm is useful for very small quantities, so perfect for:

  • One portion of sauce
  • Baby food
  • One or two eggs
  • Small amounts of liquid


Medium size (± 18 cm)
An 18 cm saucepan is a true all-rounder and is used most often by most people. Ideal for:

  • Vegetables for 1–2 persons
  • Soup
  • Small portions of pasta or rice
  • Oatmeal


Larger version (± 20 cm)
 A larger 20cm saucepan is useful if you regularly cook for several people or prepare larger quantities of sauce.

For larger or complete kitchen sets, a saucepan set is ideal. Want to stock up on multiple types of pans at once? Then check out our cookware sets for a complete set.

Which saucepan do you choose: stainless steel, cast iron or non-stick?

The material determines how the pan performs and how much maintenance is required.


stainless steel
 A stainless steel saucepan – also called a stainless steel pan – is strong, durable, and suitable for intensive use. Stainless steel doesn't react with acids, making it ideal for tomato sauce or wine reductions. A stainless steel saucepan is a safe choice if you're looking for quality.
Advantages:

  • Long lifespan
  • Suitable for induction
  • Often dishwasher safe
  • Professional appearance


Cast iron
 A cast iron saucepan with a lid retains heat exceptionally well. Perfect for simmering and slow cooking. Keep in mind that cast iron is heavier and requires more maintenance.


Non-stick coating
 A non-stick saucepan is ideal for milk, porridge, or sauces that stick easily. This version requires a little more care when using it (no metal spatulas, no extreme heat without contents).

Saucepan with or without lid?

A saucepan with a lid is useful for sauces, stews and dishes where you want to retain moisture.
A saucepan with a lid provides:

  • Cook faster
  • Less energy consumption
  • Better heat retention
  • Less splashing

Is your saucepan suitable for induction and other heat sources?

Most modern saucepans are suitable for: Induction, gas, ceramic and electric.
Do you cook on induction? Then check if the base is magnetic and thick enough for optimal heat distribution. Discover our induction pans here.

Maintaining a saucepan: how to keep it looking like new for years

Proper maintenance significantly extends the lifespan. Invest in quality and you'll enjoy your pan for years to come. Cheap pans may seem attractive, but they often wear out faster.


stainless steel

  • Let the pan cool down before cleaning it
  • Use warm water and a soft sponge
  • Stubborn stains? A little baking soda works wonders.


Cast iron

  • Never soak in water for long periods of time
  • Dry well after cleaning
  • Lightly grease occasionally to prevent rust


Non-stick

  • No metal kitchen utensils
  • Do not overheat
  • Heat slowly
  • Preferably wash by hand
