Believe it or not, you don’t actually need several different types of pans to cook specific recipes. Are you curious about learning how to live a minimalist life, all while being able to cook whatever you want?
Check out the essential everyday pans that work for every type of dish!
Fewer Pans, More Opportunities
When it comes to the cookware you buy, it doesn’t matter whether you’re someone who likes to cook extravagant recipes or if you’re more of a quick and easy meal person. No matter what your intentions are in the kitchen, owning fewer pans is extremely beneficial.
You can probably recall seeing many recipes out there on the Internet that call for very specific types of pans that are required for the cooking process. Before you make the purchase, stop and consider the pans that you already have in your kitchen. More than likely, whatever pan you have in your cabinets would work just as well as whatever the recipes recommend.
Not only does this save you money, but it also prevents you from collecting unnecessary cookware and allows you to maximize your kitchen space. Minimalist living is our pride and joy because it has so many benefits to your overall well-being.
At the end of the day, it’s as simple as this: owning fewer pans means less stress, less burden, and less cleaning on your end.
On top of that, you’d be surprised how much you can accomplish with fewer items in your kitchen. Redecorating your kitchen doesn’t have to entail a whole stressful and intensive process. Start by own just three simple pans, and you can transform your space and achieve the aesthetic you’ve always wanted.
From there, you can make small changes using minimalist kitchen interior design inspiration to develop an intentional, stylish space. Utilizing space-saving products, such as cookware organizers, can also help you in the process and is a godsend for kitchen storage needs.
Our Cookware Set comes with free magnetic pan organizers, which is especially great for space optimization in a small apartment, or if you just don’t want to drill any holes into your cabinets.
Instead of wasting space and money on a traditional 16-piece set that you probably won’t use as often as you’d expect, we recommend buying versatile cookware sets with fewer pieces. In our Cookware Set, we’ve boiled our products down to four products—three pans and one Dutch Oven—that have qualities that fit all your needs.
Our products also come in a variety of colors, including Sage, Perracotta, Cream, Navy, and Gray, that can help you create the perfect look for your kitchen. Whether you’re going for a boho vibe with our Perracotta colored set or Sage to add a pop of color to an industrial style kitchen, our products can help tie it together. You can store them neatly all away, but you might just be tempted to leave one or two out for that gorgeous pop of color.
Every Pan for Every Need
You can do so much more with less. Here are three everyday pans that work for every type of dish.
Sauce Pan
Just as the name suggests, a Sauce Pan is a great tool for making that perfect sauce to top off your dish. But it can also be used for so much more.
Our Sauce Pan can boil, poach, steam, and blanch. With all those abilities, you don’t need to run out and buy another pan, as this Sauce Pan is a wonderful tool to vessel anything from soup to risotto.
Additionally, the non-stick, naturally slick, mineral-based ceramic interior of this pan and the rest of our cookware work so well that you don’t need to add a lot of butter or oil to the pan to keep your food from sticking.
Not only does that make it much more functional than traditional non-stick pans, but it also makes for a healthier meal, especially for the dishes that are already rich in butter. The added bonus to these natural non-stick pans is that they are 100% non-toxic.
Many of the non-stick pans out there contain a coating of Teflon, which contains chemicals such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). These chemicals, especially PFOA, are linked to a number of health risks, including thyroid disorders, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, and testicular cancer.
Non-stick pans easily deteriorate and don’t last forever, so when the non-stick Teflon coating of the pans begins to chip or rust (or are even exposed to high heat), the chemicals can leach into your food and become consumed.
None of that is a concern with our products, as they are all free of any harmful chemicals, including lead, cadmium, PTFE, PFOA, and other PFAs. We value transparency of our materials and are always open to sharing our testing reports upon request that prove the safeness of our cookware.
All of these benefits are sure to capture the essence of intentional and minimalist living to the highest degree.
Fry Pan
Just like the Sauce Pan, this cookware is capable of many things beyond its assigned task of frying.
Our Fry Pan, which is large enough to cook four to six eggs at once, is a best-selling item that is often sold-out and is great for breakfast pancakes and eggs, sauteing vegetables, and whipping up a stir fry for dinner for two.
Ceramic has a better heat-retention quality than other materials and therefore is able to conduct heat well and cook food faster. That makes it a kitchen essential for those quick and easy meals before work.
On top of that, the three lids that come with all of the products in our Cookware Set are also made of ceramic, which means they can retain heat while also allowing steam to escape through their small holes.
Some of the lids can fit onto other pans in the set, which is another point for minimalist living. Among the free organizers that the set comes with is a Canvas Lid Holder, which can be hung on the door of a cabinet, so it’s easily accessible to the cookware.
The benefits of our ceramic materials extend beyond the cooking process. Since our ceramic cookware is so slick and isn’t prone to having food stick to it, the clean-up process is a breeze. The food just slides off with a brief splash of water.
This helps space in your kitchen but also saving time after your meals and makes your life so much easier. We love spending time in our kitchens, but cleaning them? Not so much.
Sauté Pan
Our Sauté Pan is another customer-favorite and by far the most versatile product available. It's constructed in a way that’s shallow enough to stir and sauté yet deep enough to fry and boil. Even then, it can be used for much more than that, including shallow-frying, steaming, and stewing.
This product works really well for those big family gatherings around the holiday season. You probably own a separate set of fancy and large cookware to use when hosting parties. If you're someone who doesn’t entertain often, that cookware is likely left tucked away in a cabinet for months.
All of our cookware is designed to double as home decor, so you can easily serve whatever dish you made straight from the Sauté Pan. To really spruce up your kitchen or dining room (while also protecting your countertops from the hot cookware), match the color of your pans to your Linen Potholders).
Rather than wasting money and space on cookware that hardly gets used, opt for our Sauté Pan. It’s useful enough to be used year-round and pretty enough to be taken out on those special occasions as well.
Intentional and Impactful Living With Caraway
Intentional, minimalist living starts with our products. No more stacks of unnecessary pots and pans shoved in a disheveled mess in your cabinets. Everything you would ever want or need to cook can be done with these three pans, all in a way that is easier and healthier for you.
Now is a perfect time to clear out your kitchen and give it a mini redecoration all at the same time. As we enter the peak summer season, we’re offering a few limited edition colors for our Cookware Set.
Our Sky Blue, Lavender, and Peach sets are delightful editions to any kitchen space during this time. After all, nothing says summer like a beautiful and subtle splash of soft, warm tones. A clear space and a hint of color are all you need to embrace the intentional, minimalist lifestyle you deserve.
An Everyday Necessity
With just three pans, you’ll have everything you need and can take on whatever recipe or cooking need imaginable. It’s time to ditch those bulky pans that you never use and start investing in products that are guaranteed to last longer and become an everyday necessity.
When attempting an intentional and minimalist space-say yes to less!
