Whether you live in a townhouse or a studio apartment, your kitchen has limited space. So every piece of cookware and kitchen utensil you choose needs to earn its place. When you have a bunch of pots, pans, and pans of different sizes to consider, it can be hard to know which ones you’ll use and which ones will just take up precious storage space in your kitchen cabinets.
Read this blog from Cook and Pan to find out which pots, pans and saucepans you need. If you can't see the forest for the trees, we will help you by explaining in detail the functionality of each pan and what the difference is between them.
What different types of pans and pots are there anyway?
Saucepans
Saucepans are round, have straight, high sides, a long handle, and may have a lid. They vary in size, with the most popular ranging from one to four liters. These pans are incredibly versatile. They can be used for a huge variety of purposes in the kitchen; they can simmer sauces, heat canned soup or vegetables, boil eggs, make sweet treats, and much more.
Sauté pans
Another popular piece of cookware is the sauté pan, which has a wide and fairly deep round pan construction with straight sides. The pan comes with a fitting lid and has a long handle on one side and a small handle on the other side so that you can easily put the pan on and take it off the heat. This pan is the right choice when you want to sauté food or prepare a meal in a sauce. It is also the perfect choice for a stir fry if you do not have a wok or do not have one readily available. A sauté pan is often compared to a sauté pan, which is understandable. A sauté pan often has a slightly more conical shape than a sauté pan.
Frying pans
A skillet, also known as a frying pan, is a great choice for a dish that needs to be turned (eggs, pancakes, fish, and steak) because it has a wide cooking surface and sloped sides that you can work with a spatula. These pans come in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, nonstick, carbon steel, and cast iron.
Which saucepan is right for you?
Saucepans come in a variety of sizes. The most popular are the 1.8 litre (medium) and 3.8 litre (large) saucepans. There are also smaller saucepans, but these saucepans are not used as often. Most home cooks will find that a medium and large saucepan will meet most needs - without taking up too much of their valuable kitchen space.
