Quick answer

Choose the EASY PRO set if your small kitchen has two burners and you cook mostly for one or two people: the 20 cm frying pan and 20 cm saucepan handle daily eggs, grains and sauces, while the 28 cm sauté pan covers one-pan dinners. Skip it if you regularly sear large cuts or cook for a family of four or more, because the set has no wide stockpot or large frying pan.

Why these three sizes work in a small kitchen

A compact set succeeds when each piece has a clear job and the pieces nest or stack without wasted air. The EASY PRO set follows that logic: a 20 cm frying pan for eggs and single portions, a 20 cm saucepan with a 3.0 L capacity for grains, soups and sauces, and a 28 cm sauté pan for one-pan meals that need more surface area.

The trade-off is coverage. Three pieces cannot replace a full batterie de cuisine, so you need to accept that some tasks, such as boiling pasta for four or browning a large roast, will require a separate pot or a different set. If your storage is tight but your cooking is varied, the set works best as a core that you supplement only when a recipe demands it.

Where the 28 cm sauté pan earns its space

The sauté pan is the largest piece in the set, so it drives both your storage plan and your hob requirements. At 28 cm it gives you enough surface for a stir-fry, a frittata or a shallow braise, which is often the difference between a set that feels complete and one that feels like a starter kit.

Check your cabinet depth and your largest burner before buying. A 28 cm pan needs a burner that can heat its base evenly and a storage spot where it can sit flat or be stacked with protection. If your kitchen has only a narrow cupboard or a single small burner, this piece may be the one that makes the set awkward rather than practical.

The limits of a two-person set

The 20 cm frying pan and 20 cm saucepan are sized for small portions, not batch cooking. That makes the set efficient for singles and couples who cook fresh most days, but less suitable if you meal-prep in large batches or regularly host.

If you often cook for three or more, treat this set as a supplement rather than your only cookware. The absence of a large stockpot and a wide frying pan is a real limitation, not a hidden feature, and you should plan for one additional pot if pasta, stock or big skillets are part of your weekly routine.

Decision rules for buying the EASY PRO set

  • Match the set to your household size: Buy the set if you usually cook for one or two people. The 20 cm pan and 20 cm saucepan are portion-sized for that, while the 28 cm sauté pan handles shared one-pan meals. If you routinely cook for four or more, plan to add a larger pot or choose a set with a stockpot.
  • Measure your storage before you commit: The 28 cm sauté pan is the widest piece. Confirm it fits your cupboard, drawer or hanging space and that you have a burner wide enough to heat it evenly. If storage is extremely tight, check whether the pieces nest or stack in your actual cabinet before buying.
  • Check your hob and your habits: The set suits everyday frying, boiling and sautéing. If your cooking relies on high-heat searing in a wide skillet or large-volume boiling, this set will feel incomplete. List your three most frequent meals; if any needs a wide pan or a large pot, budget for that extra piece.
