Buying a Frying Pan Set: Always Have the Right Pan on Hand

Use the large pan for searing meat, the medium pan for preparing side dishes, and the small pan for toasting pine nuts as a topping. If you want to cook a meal with several components at once, you’ll need frying pans of different sizes. That’s why you’ll find high-quality frying pan sets in the ZWILLING online shop.

Why is it worth buying a frying pan set?

Hardly any kitchen can get by with just a single pan. Over time, most people buy additional pans in various sizes. However, purchasing individual frying pans has some clear disadvantages compared to buying a 2- or 3-piece frying pan set. Here are the main reasons why a set is the better choice:

1. The ideal cookware set – all pans from one collection

Product lines are sometimes available only for a limited time before being replaced by new collections. If you want to add another pan from the same series later, it might already be sold out. If you appreciate a coordinated look and want your cookware to match, a frying pan set is the best solution.

2. Cost savings

You’ll usually benefit from a significant price advantage when you purchase a frying pan set instead of buying pans individually.

3. All the sizes you need

A frying pan set typically includes all the standard pan sizes, so you’ll always have the right pan for every dish.

The sizes in a frying pan set are coordinated so the pans can be stacked inside each other, saving space in your kitchen cabinet.

How many pans are included in a frying pan set?

A set contains at least two frying pans. Larger sets often include three or four pans, covering all the essential sizes for everyday cooking.

The most crucial pan sizes for your kitchen

20 cm frying pan 

Perfect for preparing a small meal for one person. This size is ideal for a fried egg, three scrambled eggs, or small side dishes for one to two people.

24 cm frying pan 

Great for dishes for two people. Use it for fried potatoes or two pieces of meat.

26 cm frying pan 

Included in four-piece sets and mainly used in two-person households—perfect for a complete meal for two.

28 cm frying pan 

The standard size for most kitchens. Suitable for meals for three to five people, with enough space to cook several pieces of meat at once.

Frying pan sets with removable handles

Frying pan sets with removable handles are especially convenient. They can be stacked to save space, fit into almost any oven, and can even be used for serving directly at the table. This makes them exceptionally versatile for everyday use.

Coatings: Ceramic and Nonstick

In the ZWILLING online shop, you’ll find frying pan sets with various coatings:

• Ceramic coating – exceptionally durable and heat-resistant, ideal for high-temperature searing.
• Classic nonstick coating – makes frying with little oil easy and prevents food from sticking.

Both types have their advantages and can be selected based on your cooking preferences.

Frying pan sets for induction cooktops

Induction cooktops are becoming increasingly popular in modern kitchens. They save time and energy and help prevent burns, especially in households with children. Cleaning is also easier since nothing gets burned onto the surface. However, not all pans are suitable for induction.

With induction, an electromagnetic field transfers heat directly to the base of the pan. To work on an induction cooktop, the pan must have a magnetic base. Cast iron pans are always induction-compatible. Stainless steel and aluminum frying pan sets with nonstick coatings are usually suitable for induction if they have a magnetizable base.

We hope you enjoy choosing your frying pan set in the ZWILLING online shop.
