Are you moving, switching to an induction hob, or are your old pans simply due for replacement? Purchasing a complete pan set is almost always more economical and practical than buying all pans separately. But what size set do you really need, and which pans are absolutely essential?
In this guide from TEKZEN, we help you choose the perfect pan set that suits your household, cooking style, and budget.
Why Choose a Complete Pan Set?
Buying a pan set offers three major advantages:
- Price Advantage: A set is significantly cheaper proportionally than purchasing individual cooking and frying pans.
- Consistent Style: All pans on the stove have the same sleek design and high-quality finish.
- Uniform Cooking Performance: Because all pans in the set have the same base structure, they respond to the temperature settings of your induction hob in the same way.
Which Set Suits Your Household?
At TEKZEN, you will find pan sets in various compositions. Here is our guideline to make the right choice:
1. The 3-Piece Set (Ideal for starters and 1-2 person households)
A compact set usually consists of two cooking pots of different sizes (e.g., 18 cm and 20 cm) and a handy saucepan for sauce or eggs. Ideal if you have limited cupboard space.
2. The 4-Piece Set (The most chosen family set)
This is the most popular choice for an average family. A 4-piece set generally includes three cooking pots (small, medium, large) and one saucepan. With this, you can effortlessly cook potatoes, vegetables, rice, and sauce simultaneously.
3. The 5-Piece (or More Extensive) Set
Do you enjoy cooking extensively for friends or a large family? An extensive set offers extra variety, such as a large soup pot or an included sauté pan. This way, you'll never be short of a pan during holidays or big dinner parties.
3 Essential Points When Buying an Induction Pan Set
- Glass lids with steam vents: Lids made of tempered glass are ideal because you can monitor the cooking process without lifting the lid (which would cause valuable heat loss). The steam vent prevents the pot from boiling over.
- Cool-touch handles: Make sure the handles are designed so they don't get dangerously hot during the cooking process on the hob.
- Internal measurement markings: Many of our premium cooking pots have convenient litre markings engraved on the inside. This allows you to measure water or broth directly in the pot!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do pan sets always include frying pans?
Classic pan sets consist of cooking pots and saucepans. However, at TEKZEN, we also offer special combination sets that bundle both cooking pots and frying pans, so you're all set in one go.
Are stainless steel pan sets better than aluminium sets?
That depends on your preference. Stainless steel is extremely durable and hard-wearing. Aluminium with a good non-stick coating heats up faster and is lighter in weight. Both options in our webshop are 100% suitable for induction.
