Shallow or Deep?
Shallow pans offer easy access for flipping foods like pancakes, fish, or steak. If you often sear lean proteins or cook flat dishes that benefit from a crisp sear, the shallow design is an excellent choice.
On the other hand, our deep pans shine when cooking anything that requires stirring—think stir-fries, curries, or even risotto. Their taller sides help contain splatter and prevent spills, keeping your stovetop clean.
