Enameled steel low casserole 28 cm with non-stick coating

The K2 collection from the Spanish manufacturer Vitrinor has a mottled gray-white look like the snow-covered flanks of the mountain of the same name. The handy K2 frying pan is a convincing all-rounder in use and care.

It heats up quickly and saves up to 50% energy!

Compared to an aluminum/cast aluminum or stainless steel pan, the sheet steel of the K2 pan heats up much faster on the stove, which is particularly noticeable on conventional stove types (glass ceramic, electric, gas), but is also clearly noticeable as a time saving on induction. And because most of the heat remains in the base and does not, as is often the case with aluminum pans, for example, flow uselessly to the edges, the K2 pan also requires less energy to maintain the temperature after heating.

Particularly easy to clean all round

The steel core of the K2 pan is enameled all around for protection. A high-quality non-stick coating with a stone look is also applied on the inside. The combination of enamel and non-stick coating makes cleaning the K2 pan a breeze. And if you want, you can also easily clean the K2 pan in the dishwasher.

Sustainably manufactured in Spain

Vitrinor manufactures its cookware on the north coast of Spain in the Cantabria region. Great importance is attached to environmentally friendly production: More than 3,000 tons of steel go through the Vitrinor recycling system every year and every pan/pot is fully recyclable. And thanks to sophisticated filter and treatment techniques, 60% of fresh water is saved during production.
Every purchase of Vitrinor cookware is therefore an effective contribution to safeguarding Europe as a production location and actively supporting sustainable production methods.

PfannenProfis service notes:
Vitrinor uses a size designation for the frying pans in this range that is based on the diameter of the outer rim. We indicate the standard international inner diameter, which is also decisive for the choice of lid. You will therefore find a size designation on the product that is 2 cm larger than the size specified by us.

The following is information on features of enameled steel cookware that are not subject to complaint: Energy-saving cookware made of sheet steel has a more pronounced hollow curvature in the base than, for example, a multi-layer stainless steel or thick cast aluminum pan, which can cause the oil to run off the edge. If this bothers you, we recommend a heavy pan with a thick base instead. Enameled cookware may have tiny inclusions and unevenness in the enamel, which may also be visible/feelable through the non-stick coating.

Understanding the information on the size / diameter, height and capacity of cookware:

1) The most important information: diameter = upper inner diameter

The diameter is the most important indication of the size of pots and pans. The measurement is taken at the top inside , i.e. on the inside of the pan/pot rim; hence the designation upper inner diameter, which you will find in our item descriptions. A 28 cm pan has a diameter of 28 cm from one inner edge to the other inner edge. This measurement method is an international standard and authoritative, unless expressly stated otherwise in the item description.

For square pans (e.g. many grill pans) and roasters, the size is given as the product of two lengths. Here you measure again at the top inside, at the longest point, which is usually in the middle. For example, many grill pans have a size of 28 x 28 cm.

Fish pans and roasters often have an oval shape. As shown above with the square pans, the longest internal dimension is given here. Such a 38 cm fish pan has an inner length of 38 cm on its longest side. At right angles to this is the short side of eg 24 cm. As a result, the pan would be declared as 38 x 24 cm.

2) Bottom diameter = contact surface

When we talk about base diameter, we mean the diameter of the contact surface, i.e. the surface with which the pan, pot or roaster stands on the stove. Not meant is the frying surface! The information about the base diameter can be helpful when it comes to choosing a suitable cooking surface for the cookware. The size of the cooker and the diameter of the base of the cookware should match to a certain extent in order to avoid damage to the cookware and to ensure that the cookware functions as well as possible.

ATTENTION, induction-suitable aluminum cookware:

Please note that cookware made of aluminum / cast aluminum for induction cooking usually has a stainless steel disc on the base, the diameter of which is often smaller than that of the base (marked in blue in the picture). Where this applies, you will find the corresponding information in our item descriptions.

3) Height of pots and pans

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the indication of the height of a cookware describes the outer edge height, from the top edge of the cookware perpendicularly to the contact surface, without taking lids, handles etc. into account.

The inner height (i.e. from the frying surface up to the edge) can be determined approximately by subtracting the base thickness from the height.

4) Capacity of a cookware

When it comes to capacity, there are often misunderstandings: the capacity of a cookware indicates how much the container can hold at most. That always means filling up to the brim! This is international standard. The filling quantity that can be used when cooking is always less than the capacity.

Please note that in the case of pressure cookers, for safety reasons, the filling quantity permitted in pressure cooking is significantly lower than the capacity of the pot.
