What is a snack pan?

A sauté pan – also called a saute pan – is a versatile pan with a high edge and usually comes with a lid. In contrast to a frying pan, the sauté pan has more capacity, allowing you to easily prepare larger quantities or dishes with sauce.

Characteristics of a good snack pan

• High sides: ideal for sauces and stews
• Wide base: for even heat distribution
• Lid: retains moisture and flavour
• Suitable for various heat sources: including induction.

For example, take a look at this Cheffinger snack pan with lid (28cm, stainless steel, honeycomb, induction) , a real all-rounder in the kitchen.

Why should you buy a snack pan?

Do you already have multiple pans at home and are you wondering whether a sauté pan is really necessary? Let us convince you with some important advantages.

1. One pan for multiple cooking techniques

With a snack pan you can:

• Making baked dishes such as chicken fillet or steak
• Prepare quick one-pot meals
• Simmer stews and curries
• Stir-fry or lightly fry vegetables

Everything in one pan means: less washing up, less hassle, but just as much taste!

2. Compact and space-saving

Instead of multiple pans for all your preparations, one good sauté pan offers enough possibilities. Ideal if you have a smaller kitchen or want to use your cupboard space efficiently.

3. Fast and even cooking

Saucepans often have a wide base that ensures fast and even heating. Thanks to the high edges, you can easily stir ingredients without spilling.

4. Energy-efficient cooking

A pan like this Cheffinger stainless steel frying pan is suitable for induction and retains heat well. That means: less energy consumption and better cooking results.

What should you look for when buying a snack pan?

A good sauté pan is an investment for years. But how do you choose the right one?

Check these points before you buy:

• Material: stainless steel, cast iron or aluminum
• Base type: non-stick or honeycomb structure
• Compatibility: suitable for your type of hob (gas, ceramic, induction)
• Size (diameter): 24cm for small household, 28cm or larger for families
