Category: Comparisons
Compare the 22cm and 28cm frypans in the RACO SmartStart Twin Pack to decide which size suits your everyday cooking needs, from solo meals to family dinners.
Quick answer
The RACO SmartStart Twin Pack gives you both a 22cm and a 28cm ceramic nonstick frypan, so you can choose the right size for the task. The 22cm is ideal for eggs, single portions, or small sides, while the 28cm handles family stir-fries, pancakes, and larger meals.
Why two sizes matter in everyday cooking
Having both a small and a large frypan in the same set means you can match the pan to the meal without wasting heat or oil. The 22cm heats up quickly for a quick omelette or reheating leftovers, while the 28cm provides more surface area for browning meat or cooking multiple servings at once. This twin pack covers the most common pan sizes for a typical household.
Trade-offs at a glance
- 22cm frypan: Best for 1-2 servings, small eggs, crepes, or warming sauces. Heats fast and is easy to handle. Less suitable for large batches or flipping multiple items.
- 28cm frypan: Best for 3-4 servings, stir-fries, pancakes, searing chicken, or cooking enough for leftovers. Takes longer to heat and is heavier to lift.
- Ceramic nonstick coating (both sizes): PFAS- and PFOA-free for healthier cooking. Requires gentle utensils and hand washing to maintain nonstick performance. Not as durable as some traditional nonstick coatings. Use silicone or wooden utensils and avoid high heat to prolong the coating.
