26 cm pans

Frying Pans with a diameter of 26 cm are the ideal in-between size and are suitable for households for which a 24 cm Frying Pan is too small and a 28 cm Frying Pan is too large and too heavy.

Three to four fried eggs fit perfectly in a 26 cm Frying Pan.

The right pan size

Guide for 26 cm pans

What is the right pan size?

To determine the right pan size, you should first know what you need the pan for. Do you often cook larger portions for several days or for 2 to 3 people?

Secondly, on conventional hobs the base of the pan should match the size of the burner so that a even heat distribution is ensured. If the base is too large, the pan will not heat evenly. If the base is smaller than the hob, valuable energy is lost.

For frying a fried egg and a small omelet, a pan with a 16 cm diameter is suitable. A Fissler pan in 20 cm is ideal for frying two fried eggs or one-pan dishes for one person. Three fried eggs fit perfectly in a 24 cm pan. For larger portions, we recommend a pan with a 28 cm cooking surface.

How a pan diameter is measured

Pan diameter is measured at the upper inner edge. This is important so that universally fitting lids can be offered.

The cooking surface is called the pan base and is slightly smaller than the stated diameter. With a Fissler frying pan with a 26 cm diameter, you have a 19 cm cooking surface with the Classic pan body and a 21 cm cooking surface with the Comfort pan body available.
