3-piece frying pan set, 22 and 26 cm

Two sizes that genuinely differ

The two diameters here are 22 and 26 cm, and those four centimetres are enough to give them different jobs: one is for smaller helpings, the other for a proper dinner. A silicone trivet is the third piece.

22 cm: the pan for quick helpings

The smaller pan holds 1.3 litres. Two fried eggs fit side by side, or scrambled eggs, a piece of fish, or the leftover rice you turn through for breakfast. It heats quickly and needs little fat, because the surface is not larger than the job.

26 cm: the evening main course

The larger pan holds 2 litres, and this is the size where two bigger cuts of meat or a pan of vegetables fit with room left to turn them.

You have breakfast in the smaller one and dinner in the larger one. There is nothing to weigh up: the portion decides which one comes out.

The third piece

The third item in the set is a silicone trivet, a round, ribbed mat. The ribs hold the base of the pan, so the hot vessel does not slide when you set it on the worktop or the table.

Why it earns its place on the worktop

A matt finish and minimalist shapes. The bodies are forged aluminium, the wall curves evenly, and the handle continues the line where the pan ends. A metallic insert sits at the tip of the handle, with a hanging hole through it if you would rather hang the pans than shelve them.

The titanPro coating in both pans

Both cooking surfaces carry the brand's hard-wearing titanPro non-stick coating. In a smaller pan that counts with eggs: white that sticks does not survive the turn. In the larger one it counts for the crust on meat, which stays on the cut rather than on the bottom of the pan.

Turbo induction base

Both pans are built on a turbo induction base, and the patterned plate covers nearly the whole bottom. Rather than one hot spot in the middle, the cooking surface heats evenly out to the rim, which shows most in the smaller pan, where every centimetre has to be usable.

Five hob types

The two pans can be used on five hob types: induction, gas, electric, vitroceramic and halogen. In a rented flat, where the cooker is not your choice, that is exactly what matters most.

A handle you need no glove for

The handles are ergonomic, soft to the touch and stay cool. On the 26 cm pan that matters when you turn the food and when you serve, with the pan full and no room for a hesitant movement.

Two pans, two minutes of washing up

Residue comes out of the cooled pan with warm water and a soft sponge, and with only two vessels the tidying after dinner does not drag on.

What it is made of, and what it is free from

Both pan bodies are forged aluminium and their cooking surfaces carry a titanPro layer. There are no lids in the box.

Non-stick coating

The layer applied to the cooking surface that keeps the proteins in food from bonding directly to the metal. It lets you fry with less fat, and the finished dish stays in one piece as you lift it out.

Everyday scenes

In a small kitchen what counts is how much fits on the shelf. These two pans stack inside one another on an open shelf, and since there is a hole at the end of each handle, they can hang instead.

At the weekend the larger one takes the fish: two pieces, a few slices of lemon, and the flesh holds together when you turn it because nothing had to be stacked.

During the week the smaller one does most of the work: breakfast eggs, a portion of vegetables, a quick sauce, always the same pan, hot in two minutes.

Care

• Wait until the 26 cm pan is lukewarm; water poured on hot aluminium is what wears the coating.
• After the morning eggs one wipe is enough; after roast meat, warm water and a soft sponge.
• Turn the food with a wooden or silicone spatula, because a metal one leaves its mark on the cooking surface.
• Whatever has baked on comes off in lukewarm water, with no scraping.
• The smaller pan sits inside the larger one: put a cloth between them, or hang them by the hole in the handle.
• Wash the trivet by hand and let it go back on the shelf only when dry.

Who this set suits

How it arrives

The three pieces come in one gift box with a photograph of the pans on the side, so a present needs no repacking.
