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.
