Buying Guide for Gastronomy Pans
Choosing the right gastronomy pan is crucial for success in the professional kitchen. To make your decision easier, we have compiled some important factors to consider when purchasing:
-
1. Material
The material of a pan not only affects its durability but also its cooking performance. Each material has specific properties that make it suitable for different applications. Cast iron, for example, retains heat excellently and is ideal for searing at high temperatures. Aluminum, on the other hand, is light and heats up quickly, making it perfect for fast cooking on high flames. Consider the type of dishes you want to prepare and choose a material that best suits your needs.
-
2.Size and Shape
The size and shape of the pan should be adapted to the type of dishes you most often prepare. A large, flat pan is excellent for frying dishes or searing large pieces of meat. For preparing sauces or stews, deep pans with high sides are more suitable. Consider which dishes are most frequently prepared in your operation and choose the size and shape accordingly.
-
3.Heat Conductivity
Even heat conductivity is crucial for the success of many dishes. Materials like copper and aluminum conduct heat particularly well and allow for quick and even heating. This is especially important when preparing sensitive dishes that require precise temperature control. However, bear in mind that good heat conductivity also requires an adjusted cooking technique to prevent overheating and burning. When choosing the right gastronomy pan, it is important to consider these factors to find a pan that not only meets your culinary needs but also enhances the efficiency and quality of your kitchen performance.
