The word saucepan is derived from ‘casse’, the Old French term for ladle – as such, the handy pan was used for example in field kitchens. These pans are ideal for heating small portions, milk and soup quickly and easily. They are also practical for making creams and puddings. While using one hand to hold the hollow handle – which incidentally stays cool when cooking – the other can be used to whisk. Saucepans are ideal for reducing sauces on a low heat and for measured pouring via the flared pouring rim without making a mess on the plate. Made from high-grade stainless steel, food remnants can easily be removed from the bottom of the pan should anything burn or stick. Naturally, all WMF saucepans can be cleaned in the dishwasher and are suitable for use on all hobs, including induction. Bulbous or straight-sided saucepans are available with or without lid in sizes ranging from 10 to 24 centimetres in diameter.\n\nThe KAISER Mini collection is not only appreciated by singles: the four mini baking pans for traditional baking goods in small format are designed to hold half the amount of ingredients - therefore cake lovers do not have to do without the full savour. The small-sized cakes are very pretty and quickly enjoyed. Afterwards you can simply bake a new cake: marble cake, Gugelhupf, bread - all of your favourite recipes. The mini baking tins feature a dual nonstick coating and leakproof springform pans. The springform pan can be opened by loosening the clasp - then simply lift out the cake. KAISER provide a three-year guarantee on the nonstick coating. The springform pans, the loaf pan and the Bundt pan must be handwashed.
