There is hardly a kitchen without a frying pan. But is one pan enough for a household? And if so, which ones? There are many different ways pans are made and many different foods that are cooked in them. If you want to cook creatively and variedly, you should have several different frying pans. Not every frying pan is suitable for every stove.

A frying pan is made of metal and is usually round. It has a stem and, unlike a pot, a flat edge. Their flat shape ensures that the food can be easily turned with a spatula. Because the surface area is large, liquids are quickly reduced and the food is fried until crispy.

Pans have been around for as long as humans have been preparing food. However, a lot has evolved in the last few decades. Non-stick frying pans, ceramic pans and induction pans are relatively new. Of course, the traditional cast iron frying pan also has its place in the Berndes brand shop. Professional and amateur chefs have valued Berndes frying pans for many years, because Berndes stands for quality. If you are looking to buy a pan, you will definitely find the right frying pan for your needs here.

No matter which product you choose – Berndes offers a long guarantee for every product because we are convinced of our quality.

• Stainless steel pan

A universal pan that everyone can use. It is perfect for searing fish, meat, fried eggs and also tofu. This is the only way to create the desired roasted aroma. Stainless steel pans are very durable.

The Berndes pan made of stainless steel has a special thick base. This completely compensates for the fact that stainless steel is inherently a poor conductor of heat.

• Cast iron pan

It is characterized by very good heat conduction and is also very heat-resistant. They say the best fried potatoes are made in a cast iron skillet. They are also good for stews. However, there is no seal here, which is why you should definitely use a good frying fat with a cast iron pan.

• Cast aluminum frying pan

Very popular because it is light. Nevertheless, it is very stable and distributes and stores the heat optimally. It will take some time for the pan to heat up. Berndes ceramic pans are made of aluminum and also have a ceramic coating. They are well suited for low-fat diets because the coating means you need less frying fat.

• Induction cooker

For an induction cooker you need cookware with a magnetic base. In principle, you can use a magnet to find out whether your frying pan is suitable for induction. How good an induction pan is depends on its base. The pan body, i.e. the interior, can also be made of a non-magnetic material. The better the pan base, the better the energy efficiency.

• Electric stove or stove with glass ceramic hob

You can use any cookware that sits flat on these stoves. It is important that the bottom of your frying pan does not bulge. This is the only way to distribute the heat evenly.

• Gas stove

You can basically use all types of cookware with a gas stove. The only exception is cookware with an external seal. This is not always suitable for a gas stove. On a gas stove, it doesn't matter whether the bottom of a frying pan is straight.

• Oven

If you want to put your frying pan in the oven, you should make sure that the pan is also heat-resistant or can be removed. The pans from the Berndes Vario Click series are particularly practical.
