The kitchen is the heart of every home, so it needs to be well decorated, but also equipped with the necessary appliances and accessories. Pots are essential items that make everyday cooking more efficient and enjoyable. Pots vary in size, shape, material, design and purpose. You will find, among other things, saucepans, large pots, milk pots, asparagus pots and steaming pots, so everyone can easily put together a set of pot s to suit their needs.
The saucepan - a pot that should not be missing from your kitchen
One indispensable piece of kitchen equipment is the saucepan, a special pot for boiling milk, sauces, melting butter and sometimes even for frying. Its characteristic feature is one long handle, which makes the pot much easier to handle. This pot can be purchased together with a whole set of pots or separately. In our range, you will find a wide selection of saucepans, including milk pots with a practical spout for pouring the liquid precisely into another vessel or egg pots, which vary in size, design and material.
Cast iron, aluminium or stainless steel?
Saucepans are made from different types of material. Stainless steel saucepans are the most popular, as they conduct and retain heat perfectly, are extremely durable, resistant to damage and scratches, and easy to maintain. It is worth noting that food prepared in a steel saucepan does not stick to the bottom and does not burn. A properly used steel pot will serve anyone for many years.
Equally popular are lightweight and handy aluminium saucepans, which heat up very quickly and hold the heat very well, allowing for faster cooking and thus saving time and energy. Aluminium saucepans are usually coated with a non-stick coating to protect the saucepan from rapid wear, damage, scratches or scrapes.
Cast iron and enamelled saucepans are also worthy of consideration. Cookware made from the natural material cast iron is characterised by its high resistance to mechanical damage, scratches or abrasion. They are heavy and take a long time to heat up, but distribute the heat evenly and keep the food hot for a long time. In contrast enamelled pots are among the healthiest cookware, because enamel has antibacterial properties, does not release harmful substances and does not alter the taste of food. The advantage of this type of cookware is its traditional, yet eye-catching appearance.
A green saucepan, a black one or maybe one with a mummy?

What else should you look for when buying a saucepan?

In addition, before buying a saucepan, check whether it is equipped with additional features such as a measuring cup inside the pot, thanks to which you can easily measure the required amount of ingredients or the amount of food to be reheated, or a glass lid for the saucepan, thanks to which you can check the stage of cooking without having to lift the lid every now and then. It is worth looking out for additional items of equipment for the saucepan, which are extremely useful and make work in the kitchen much easier.
