Size

The total size of the pan (not including the handle). For round models, in this case, the outer diameter is indicated, for square ones — most often the outer size on one of the sides. For sets of several frying pans (see "Quantity in a set"), respectively, data are given for all items from the set.

The smallest modern frying pans are 18 cm, 16 cm, or even less. Most models fall in the 20 to 28 cm range, with even diameters being much more popular than odd ones. So, products with sizes of 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 cm are produced noticeably more than models of 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29 cm. And in the largest frying pans, the diameter is 30 cm or more ; There are many such models on the market.

In general, the size primarily depends on the total capacity of the pan and the ability to place certain ingredients on it (a large piece of meat, a whole fish, etc.). The actual volume, however, is also associated with the height of the sides (see below); however, frying pans of the same type tend to be similar in this height, and their capa...city is characterized primarily by their diameter. In addition, the overall dimensions of the cookware also determine the possibility of using it in a particular oven (if there is such a possibility in principle, see "Functions and Capabilities"); but compatibility with a particular burner is best assessed by the directly claimed bottom diameter (see below) — it is usually less than the total diameter, with rare exceptions.

Bottom diameter

The diameter of the bottom of a pan that has a round shape.

This parameter is necessary first of all in order to assess the compatibility of the pan with a particular burner on the stove. It is especially relevant if the product is planned to be used on an electric stove: the diameter of the burner must be at least not less than the diameter of the bottom, otherwise the heating will turn out to be uneven and inefficient. And in induction electric stoves (see "Functions and capabilities — Induction bottom"), these diameters must match at all. The selection of suitable frying pans is somewhat simplified by the fact that modern electric stoves usually have burners of different diameters, and in some models the heaters can even be adjusted in size — up to autofocus in separate induction cookers). However, even in such cases, it's ok to clarify whether the pan fits into the range of suitable sizes.
