What makes skillets and universal frying pans special?
Skillets are essential pieces of your cookware. Alongside pots, they are part of the basic equipment in every home and professional kitchen. For a perfectly browned schnitzel or a tender omelet, your skillet needs to match your stovetop and your ingredients. Unlike specialty pans like sauté pans or serving pans, skillets are flatter, heat up quickly, and offer a large cooking surface. Find expert advice on materials, coatings, and the proper cleaning of your new skillets in the ZWILLING online shop.
Materials overview
The material affects heat retention, weight, and care.
| Stainless steel | robust, durable, heat-resistant | searing, meat | medium |
| Aluminum | lightweight, fast heat distribution | vegetables, delicate foods | low |
| Cast iron | excellent heat retention | steaks, fried potatoes, roasted flavours | high |
Coatings: coated or uncoated?
- Uncoated stainless steel pans: especially suitable for meat and high-heat searing.
- Enamelled cast iron pans: heat-resistant and aromatic, often used for serving.
- Ceramic coating: scratch-resistant and easy to clean, ideal for delicate foods.
- Traditional non-stick coating: prevents sticking, makes cleaning easier.
Suitable for all stovetops – especially induction
Most modern skillets are suitable for all stovetops, including induction. When buying in-store, check the symbols on the packaging. In our online shop, look at the product features to make sure your pan fits your stovetop.
Tip: From the stovetop straight into the oven
Many of our skillets are oven-safe, perfect for browning and finishing dishes in the oven. Cast iron and stainless steel pans are especially suitable, provided the handles are heat-resistant. Pans with removable handles are practical.
