Lid material

The material of the lid supplied with the pan.

Metal. The main advantages of classic metal lids are high strength and impact resistance: you don't have to worry about breaking such a lid by accidentally dropping it on the floor (or something heavy on it). In addition, most metal lids are oven-safe(see Extras). On the other hand, the metal is opaque, and the only way to determine the state of the cooking product is to lift the lid, which is not always convenient (especially if you have to check often). Also, this material is prone to scratches when washed with abrasive products, brushes, etc.

Glass. Glass lids appeared as an alternative to opaque metal ones. Their main advantage is obvious: the ability to observe what is happening in the pan without removing the lid. In fairness, it should be noted that fogging and pollution during the cooking process often impair visibility, but it is still higher than through metal. In addition, glass is better tolerated by “hard” washing with abrasive products. Of the shortcomings, it is worth noting, first of all, fragility and sensitivity to shock — there is a certain risk of cracking such a cover if handled carelessly. However, the construction usually uses fairly thick glass, and for such a nuisance you need a fairly strong blow, so in general, glass lids are quite safe.

— Ceramics. Ceramic lids are...used exclusively in frying pans made of the same material (see above). Recall that such pans usually belong to tagines and are designed for cooking in the oven; the same material of dishes and lids contributes to uniform heating.

— Cast iron. Another lid material used in combination with the same material of the pan itself (in other words, cast iron lids are used exclusively with cast iron cookware). By most features, this material is similar to the metal described above: on the one hand, it is durable, on the other, it is opaque. The key difference between cast-iron covers and ordinary metal ones is their greater thickness. On the one hand, this contributes to the preservation of heat inside the dishes, on the other hand, it significantly affects the weight and cost. Therefore, this material is rarely found nowadays — mainly among stewpans and braziers (see above), for which the described advantages are more important than the disadvantages.

In box

Additional accessories supplied with the frying pan.

Lid. The presence of a lid in the delivery set will save you from the hassle of choosing: the “native” lid is optimally suited not only in size, but also in terms of the design features of the pan.

— Handle pads. Removable pads on the main handle of the pan. Such devices protect your hands from burns and allow you to safely grasp the handle, even if the pan is very hot. And they are made removable mainly so that the dishes can also be used in the oven without restrictions.

Spatula. By purchasing a frying pan in this configuration, you do not have to buy a spatula separately; this can be useful, for example, if you equip the kitchen from scratch. Another point is that the included spatulas are, by definition, suitable for coating the pan — this is especially important for Teflon or "marble" (see "Non-stick coating").

Lattice. The grate is most often supplied with wok pans ( round shape), in this case it is semi-circular. When cooking, it is placed on top of the pan and covers half. The main purpose of such a grate is to place pieces that have already been fried; however, they do not cool due to the heat from the pan. Also, the grate can be found in grill pans, for which there is a cutout in the central part for the burner. Thus, the fire dir...ectly interacts with the cooked products.

— Stand. A stand made of wood or other heat-insulating material is mainly equipped with portioned pans. For more information about such dishes, see "Type", but here we recall that it is used not only for cooking, but also for serving dishes — and when placing a hot frying pan on the table, you cannot do without a stand. In addition, pans of other types can be supplemented with a similar accessory — in such cases, the stand is intended mainly for additional convenience when cooking. For example, she put a hot pan with a ready dish on the kitchen table, freeing the burner for other dishes.
