Which pan first? Choosing between the Always Pan and the Perfect Pot

Both pieces are built to replace several pans. The difference is depth: a wide, shallow pan for searing, frying and sautéing, or a tall pot for rice, soups, pasta and braises.

Measure your hob and your shelf

Each product record lists the length with the handle, the diameter and the height with the lid. Check the diameter against your largest burner and the height against the cupboard where it will live.

Match the size to your table

The 8.5-inch and 2.75-quart sizes suit one or two people; the 10.5-inch pan and 6.5-quart pot cook comfortably for a family. The 12.5-inch and 13-inch pans are for batch cooking and sharing.

Read the care notes

Ceramic nonstick pieces are hand wash only and prefer low to medium heat. The care section on every product page lists the oven-safe temperature and the utensils to use.
