Frequently asked questions about Frying pans

What size frying pan do I need?
The right size Dutch oven depends on the number of people you're cooking for. For 1-2 people, a 20-22 cm pan is ideal. For families or larger groups, a 28 cm or larger Dutch oven is better.
Are all Dutch ovens ovenproof?
Many Dutch ovens are oven-safe, but always check the product specifications. Cast iron Dutch ovens are generally fully oven-safe, including the lid, but pans with plastic handles often are not.
How do I maintain my Dutch oven?
For cast iron skillets, it's important to thoroughly clean and lightly grease them after use to prevent rust. For pans with an enamel coating, a soft sponge and warm water is often sufficient. For added convenience, check if the skillet is dishwasher-safe.
Can I use a Dutch oven on induction?
Yes, most KookGigant frying pans are suitable for induction cooktops. Check the pan's specifications to make sure it has a magnetic base.
Why is a heavy skillet better?
Heavier pans, such as cast iron skillets, offer excellent heat distribution and retention. This ensures that dishes cook evenly and flavors are fully absorbed.
What is the difference between a Dutch oven and a stew pan?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a Dutch oven typically has higher sides and is specifically designed for simmering dishes for extended periods. A Dutch oven often has a wider base and is more versatile.

Buying a frying pan, what do you pay attention to?

Do you want to roast, simmer or stew meat? A frying pan is ideal for this. This pan has a heavy and thick bottom, so that the food cooks slowly. In most cases, a casserole dish is wide and deep and has a thick bottom with a heavy lid. This makes the pan perfect for preparing stews, stews or hachee. A casserole is therefore also called a casserole. The frying pan is usually made of cast iron and will last for years. KookGiant offers a wide range with different brands, shapes and sizes.

To choose the right casserole that will last for years, fully matches your cooking style and meets your personal wishes, it is important to think carefully about the following functionalities and aspects:

  • Material : Choose a frying pan that is made of high quality materials. For example, choose a frying pan made of stainless steel or cast iron.
  • Dimensions : Look at the dimensions of the frying pan. Choose a pan that offers enough space for the number of people you usually cook for.
  • Oven safe: Take your cooking skills to a new level with an oven-safe casserole dish. This way you can make endless different dishes with your new frying pan.
  • Dishwasher safe : Go for convenience and choose a casserole that can go in the dishwasher, see the product specifications to check whether the casserole can be put in the dishwasher.
  • Good handle : Choose a pan with a sturdy handle. This ensures that you can easily move the heavy pan.
  • Color : A good casserole can last for years. It is therefore important that you choose a color that you like and that suits you well.

 

What do you prepare in a frying pan?

First of all, you can prepare countless delicious dishes with a frying pan. The thick bottom of a casserole dish conducts and retains the heat well, so that you can cook with a casserole on both the hob and in the oven. The casserole is ideal for roasting meat, fish, poultry and game. You can sear the meat at a high temperature by adding oil or butter to the pan. Because a casserole can retain its heat for a long time, it is perfect for simmering meat. The meat then absorbs all the herbs and other ingredients well and you create a very tasty piece of meat. You can not only prepare meat in a casserole, you can also use it to make soups, sauces or dishes from the oven.
