    Deep Basins - The Complete Guide

    3 reasons why you need a deep pan in your kitchen:

      1. Versatility: A deep fryer is much more than just a frying pan. It also allows you to sauté, braise, boil and bake, so you don't have to limit yourself to just one type of food.
      2. Healthier cooking: Thanks to the high walls of the deep pan, you can simmer food in its own juices or with a small amount of broth, which is much healthier than frying in a lot of oil.
      3. Large portions: Whether you're preparing lunch for the whole family or just a large portion of your favourite dish, the deep frying pan gives you plenty of space for just that.

    What deep pans are good for

    Sauté pan, as the deep fryer is also called, is like a superman in the kitchen. It can do a lot:

    • Choking: Roast your meat or vegetables until golden brown, baste, cover and then simmer without worrying about anything leaking out of the pan.
    • Roasting: Meat, vegetables and especially the basics of sauces... in short, anything that needs a little juice.
    • Cooking: Thick soups, porridges, risottos or pasta, just anything where we reduce the liquid to create a thick consistency.
    • Frying and baking: Yes, it can do these tasks too, although the truth is that there are more specialised kitchen tools for both.

    What a quality deep frying pan is made of

    Traditional materials such as steel or cast iron great heat distribution and suitable for cooking at very high temperatures. However, they are not ideal for making sauces, as acidic ingredients such as tomatoes, wine or lemon juice, which are often added to them, can erode the surface and give the dish an unwanted metallic flavour.

    Stainless steel deep pans they are much more resistant and the acid additives do not affect their surface. However, they are a little slower to dissipate heat. This makes them ideal for dishes that require gradual heating and longer cooking times, such as thick soups, porridges or bolognese sauce.

    Deep pans with non-stick surface they are resistant to acidic additives and can be used to prepare a wide range of dishes. In addition to frying and sautéing, you can also braise, boil or even bake in them. Due to their non-stick surface, there is no need to add more fat to your food, so cooking in these pans is healthier. Remember, however, that the non-stick surface is prone to scratching, so it is essential to use utensils made of soft materials such as wood, plastic or silicone when cooking.
