What is a casserole again? And what is the difference between a schnitzel pan and a normal frying pan? You can find answers here.
baking tray
A baking tray 3.0. Because a baking tray is coated and therefore does not require baking paper or little to no fat. We have baking trays in all common sizes.
roasting pan
A roasting pan is used for stewing ingredients, which is why it is also called a casserole dish. It is usually round, has two handles and is primarily used on the stove. However, many roasting pans can also be used in the oven - here it is important to pay attention to the heat resistance of the handles and lids.
roasting pan
A roasting pan is also used for braising and roasting, but it is usually designed for the oven. Its shape varies from oval to round to square, and it usually does not have traditional handles (due to heat resistance). However, many roasting pans can also be used on the stove.
frying pan
The name says it all - although you can of course sometimes use the frying pan for grilling. The classic frying pan is usually flat so that you can easily turn the food. It is wide open and in most cases has a handle. There are subtypes of frying pans, such as the grill pan, the corner pan or the schnitzel pan.
roasting pan
A roasting pan (also called Reindl) is a combination of a high pan and a flat roasting pan – with handles.
crepe pan
A crepe pan is a pan that has a very low edge so that the wafer-thin crepes can be easily turned.
corner pan
The corner pan is a frying or grill pan that is not round, but square. This makes it possible to fry or grill more food at the same time using cast aluminum dishes. Due to the good conductivity of the material, the corners are heated just as much as the middle area of the pan, even when the square pan is on a round hotplate.
fish pan
This pan is different because of its shape: it is oval. This allows you to prepare foods that are rather long, such as fish or schnitzel. As with the corner pan, the bottom of the pan is heated even where it is not in direct contact with the heat source (of course, this only applies to cast aluminum pans).
meat pot
see casserole dish
grill pan
The grill pan differs from the usual frying pan in its base. In this case, the base has grooves so that the food only rests partially on the pan and therefore often leaves a pattern "burned in". A grill pan usually does not need any fat, as this would primarily run between the grooves.
grill plate
In most cases, grill plates are rectangular and have no edge. This makes it particularly easy to turn the food being grilled. They are available with a flat or grooved base (see grill pan). There are also pans that have both base shapes. A special type of grill plate is the teppanyaki plate.
casserole
A saucepan is a pot with a large base and flat rim, which is particularly suitable for braising or roasting meat. Another word for roasting pot or casserole. The word comes from the French word for pot (casserole). Saucepans usually have handles.
cooking pot
The mother of all pots - a pot in which food is prepared.
milk pot
Milk not only boils over quickly, but also burns quickly. That's why our coated pots are particularly suitable as milk pans; nothing burns in them. The pouring spouts on both sides make our milk pan suitable for both right- and left-handed people. Since all of this also applies to sauces, our milk pan is just as suitable as a sauce pan.
deep pan
If you want well-formed small omelettes or fried eggs, you can't go past the hollow pan. 4 hollows make it possible to make evenly shaped pancakes and similar things.
saucepan
See milk pot
braising pan
In contrast to the frying pan, the sauté pan has a much higher edge so that liquid can be added easily. It is primarily used on the stove, but depending on the type of handle and lid, it is also suitable for the oven.
casserole dish

schnitzel pan
See fish pan
saucepan
A saucepan is usually a round pot that has a handle (as opposed to two handles, for example). Saucepans are usually not too big so that they can be easily moved.
soup pot
A soup pot is a classic cooking pot that has a certain size so that you can make sufficient quantities of soups or stews.
wok
A wok is a Chinese or Asian pan that is strongly curved. In Asia, the wok is used both as a pan and as a pot. It can be used for roasting, cooking, deep-frying or steaming.
