How to Choose a Frying Pan Size
When choosing a frying pan size, aim to prevent overcrowding of ingredients. A 20–24cm pan works well if you usually cook for yourself or one other person, depending on the recipe. For meal prepping or family cooking, choose a 26–28cm pan or larger.

How to Measure Frying Pan Sizes
Our frying pans sizes are determined by the diameter measured from rim to rim. Consider how large you need the depth of the sides and width of the pan to be.
- Depth: A shallow frying pan is better for sauteing items in small amounts of oil, while the deep sides of a deep frying pan offer more capacity for frying in bulk.
- Width: A wider base of the pan provides a larger cooking surface for frying and promotes crispier results, while a smaller base is better suited for simmering or cooking smaller portions.

How to Choose a Saucepan Size
Every home cook benefits from having a few saucepans for versatility – we offer 16cm, 18cm and 20cm sizes. However, if you are looking for just one size, consider how many people you usually cook for and what dishes you often prepare.

How to Choose an Oven Tray or Roaster Size
Before purchasing roasters and oven trays, check your oven's internal measurements and select the smallest roaster that meets your needs. A tray with a surface area that's too big can cause juices to burn. If it’s too small, overcrowding can cause uneven cooking.

How to Measure Tray & Roaster Sizes
Our oven tray and roaster sizes are determined by the length, handles excluded. When looking at sizes, take the following into account:
· Handles: If the roaster has handles, take these into consideration when finding a roaster that fits your oven.
· Depth: If you are roasting juicy ingredients, like leg of lamb, opt for a deeper roaster to prevent spills.
· Surface: Consider portion size and your favourite recipes when selecting an oven tray or roaster.
