What cookware do one or two people need?

Start with a dinner you often make: where do the meat or vegetables brown, where does the side dish cook, and will you save some for tomorrow? Choose sizes for those jobs. A small saucepan, a frying pan and a deeper pot for larger batches can provide a useful starting point without collecting every size.

Build your own essentials

For breakfast eggs and a single-portion dinner, look at the cooking surface. A 24 cm frying pan can be a starting point, provided the ingredients have space beside one another.
A 16 cm saucepan can handle sauce, a small side dish or warming milk. Use its lid when the recipe calls for covered cooking.
Keep a larger pot if you cook for two days. A deeper 20 cm pot does a different job from a frying pan of the same width.

A set makes sense when you will use its sizes. If you already have a favourite frying pan, the missing saucepan may be all you need. A 400 ml blender can take care of a breakfast drink without shaping the rest of your dinner equipment.

Should I always cook exactly two portions?

If you like putting aside tomorrow’s lunch, plan a larger batch from the start. Choose cookware for that amount, rather than only for the people at tonight’s table.
