What is the difference between a sauté pan and a regular frying pan?

The frying pan has a low rim and is intended for quick, dry frying: a steak, omelette, a piece of fish, or fried potatoes. The low rim allows moisture to evaporate quickly, resulting in browning and crust formation. The sauté pan has a higher, straight rim and a lid. This allows you to first fry and then deglaze, simmer, or thicken a sauce, all in the same pan. If you're looking for a pan for versatile daily use, the sauté pan is the better all-rounder.

When do I choose the sauté pan and when the frying pan?

Use a sauté pan if you're working with sauce, liquids, or a dish with multiple steps: searing and then simmering. Think shakshuka, pasta with sauce, stir-fries, chicken in cream sauce, or stewed vegetables. Use a frying pan for quick and dry cooking: fried eggs, steak, pancakes, or fish that needs a crispy crust.

Can I just fry in the braising pan like I would in a frying pan?

Yes. The sauté pan has a wide, flat bottom with the same Ceraforce ceramic non-stick coating as the frying pan from the series. It's excellent for cooking meat, fish, and vegetables. However, flipping a pancake or turning an egg is slightly less easy than in a frying pan with a low rim.

Is the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce sauté pan PFAS-free?

Yes. The Ceraforce layer is a ceramic non-stick coating without PTFE, PFOA, PFOS, or other PFAS substances. You cook on a layer consisting solely of silicon particles, without anything harmful being released.

Which heat sources is the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce sauté pan suitable for?

Suitable for all heat sources: gas, induction, ceramic, halogen, electric, and in the oven up to 230 degrees Celsius. The TriplInduc technology in the base provides up to 30 percent more efficiency on induction hobs than a standard pan.

Can I use metal utensils in the sauté pan?

No. Only use silicone or wooden kitchen utensils. Metal spatulas, spoons, or forks will damage the Ceraforce ceramic coating, and this cannot be repaired.

Can the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce sauté pan be put in the dishwasher?

The pan is technically dishwasher-safe, but Demeyere recommends hand washing. Aggressive detergents will degrade the ceramic coating over time. With a soft sponge and warm soapy water, the pan is clean in less than a minute.

What heat setting do I use for the snack pan?

Heat the pan to 70 to 80 percent of maximum power, then reduce to 20 to 30 percent. Full power is never necessary and damages the Ceraforce coating. When overheated, the microscopic peaks flatten, and the non-stick coating no longer works.

Which size casserole dish should I choose?

For two people, 24 centimeters is more than enough. For two to four people, 28 centimeters is the right size.

Can the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce snack pan be used in the oven?

Yes, up to 230 degrees Celsius. Not under the grill. The ceramic Ceraforce layer cannot withstand the direct radiant heat of the grill. The stainless steel handle gets hot in the oven: use oven mitts.

Does the snack pan have a lid?

No, the lid is available separately as Demeyere Glass Lid. A lid is essential if you want to use the sauté pan for dishes where you want to retain moisture and heat.

What is the difference between an electric skillet and a wok?

The sauté pan has a wide, flat bottom with straight sides: ideal for gentle frying and simmering over medium heat. The wok has a deeper, curved interior where the center is hottest. Wok cooking is done quickly over high heat. In the sauté pan, you make sauces and one-pot dishes. In the wok, you stir-fry quickly with high heat.

Which oil or butter do I use in the sauté pan?

Choose an oil with a high smoke point for frying: peanut oil, corn oil, or coconut oil. Olive oil is acceptable, but keep the temperature low. Extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of 160 to 190 degrees: do not fry hotter than that. Butter, ghee, and clarified butter are also options.

What is the warranty on the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce sauté pan?

Demeyere provides a 5-year warranty on the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce sauté pan for normal domestic use. Wear and tear of the ceramic layer due to use at excessively high heat or with metal utensils is not covered by the warranty.

How do I clean the Alu Pro 5 Ceraforce sauté pan?

Let the pan cool down before washing it. Placing hot pans directly under cold water will warp the bottom. Wash with warm water, a soft sponge, and normal dish soap. No scouring pads or harsh detergents. The pan is dishwasher safe, but handwashing is better for the longevity of the ceramic coating.
