Professional Cookware
Cast Sahan
The cast sahan is the pan a Turkish breakfast service runs on - a shallow, wide dish that cooks eggs, menemen or sucuk and then goes straight to the table still holding its heat. Casting suits this job particularly well: the heavier body keeps the dish hot in front of the guest for longer than a thin pressed pan, which is the whole point of a cook-and-serve piece.
It has two short side handles rather than a long one, so it stacks tightly in a prep fridge and sits neatly on a breakfast table or a pass. The interior carries a speckled granite-effect non-stick coating for clean release on fried and scrambled eggs, and the outer wall has the same faceted black finish as the rest of the cast line. The base is rectified - machined flat - for even contact on a solid burner. Available in 18, 20 and 22 cm; these pans are not induction compatible. Supplied wholesale to hotels, restaurants, cafés, catering companies and distributors across Türkiye and for export - contact us for a quote.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the cast sahan different from the standard Olala sahan?
- Both are shallow cook-and-serve pans, but the cast version is poured into a mould rather than pressed, so it is heavier and holds heat noticeably longer once it reaches the table - useful for a breakfast buffet or a long à la carte breakfast service where a dish can sit in front of a guest for a while. It also runs one size smaller at the bottom of the range: 18, 20 and 22 cm against the standard sahan's 20 and 22 cm, and it uses two short cast-line side handles and a granite-effect interior instead of a stainless steel handle. Neither is induction compatible.
- What sizes does the cast sahan come in, and which should a breakfast kitchen order?
- Three sizes: 18, 20 and 22 cm across the rim. The 18 cm is a single-egg or side-dish portion, 20 cm is the standard one-person sahan that most breakfast covers use, and 22 cm takes a two-egg menemen or a shared plate. Breakfast-led hotels and kahvaltı cafés tend to buy the 20 cm in real volume and hold smaller numbers of the other two, because every cover ties up a pan from burner to table for the length of the meal. Give us your morning cover count and we will suggest quantities.
- Can I buy cast sahans wholesale?
- Yes - we supply hotels, restaurants, cafés, catering companies and distributors wholesale across Türkiye and for export. There is no public price list; tell us the sizes and quantities and we will send a quote. Sahan is one of the products buyers most often order alongside the cast frying pan, since a breakfast operation and an à la carte section usually get equipped in the same order. Private-label and OEM production is available if you want the pan under your own brand.
