Buying a frying pan, what do you pay attention to?

Frying pans are one of the most used pans in the kitchen. They are multifunctional and can be used to prepare different dishes. When you are going to purchase a frying pan, it is important to consider what you want to use the pan for and which heat source you will use it for. Fortunately, all frying pans from the Megacookingworld range are suitable for any heat source; so whether you are going to cook on gas, ceramic, induction or electric. So whichever frying pan you choose from our range, it is always suitable for your kitchen.

To choose the right frying pan that will last for years, fully matches your cooking style and suits your personal wishes, it is important to think carefully about the following functionalities and aspects:

1. ​​​​Non -stick coating : Choose a skillet with a non-stick coating, such as ceramic, Teflon or ceramic-coated. This ensures that the food does not stick and the pan is easy to clean.
2. Bottom : Choose a frying pan with a thick bottom. A thick bottom ensures that the frying pan spreads heat evenly, so that the dishes can be baked evenly.
3. Handle : Choose a frying pan with a comfortable handle. Different types of handles are available, such as handles with a cast iron grip or with silicone.
4. Weight : The weight of a frying pan can vary. That has to do with what material the pan is made of. A cast iron frying pan can be quite heavy and that can affect its user-friendliness. On the other hand, a stainless steel frying pan is a lot lighter.
5. Size : Choose a frying pan with a suitable diameter. A large pan automatically means that you can prepare food for more people at the same time. That is why it is good to consider in advance how many people you are cooking for and then choose a suitable frying pan.
6. Material : Choose a frying pan that is made of materials that can withstand high temperatures. Most frying pans are made of aluminum, but other materials such as stainless steel and copper are also available.
