How It Compares
vs. Staub 28cm Deep Fry (40506-558)

vs. Staub 11.5cm Mini (1221223)
Advantages
Disadvantages
The mini is best for micro‑tasks; the 16 cm skillet provides a more practical size for actual egg frying and small meals.

Advantages
Disadvantages
Opt for the 25 cm pan when cooking for groups or needing high‑heat searing; the 16 cm model excels for individual portions and lighter handling.
