The parameter reversible use refers to a specific type of pan which is actually made up of two separate parts connected by a joint or hinge. This mechanism allows the pan to be completely closed, thus creating an enclosed space for food preparation. The main feature is the ability to easily turn the food by simply rotating the whole pan without the need for a turner. This reduces the risk of oil splashing and the food is cooked evenly on both sides due to the heat held inside. The edges of the pan often have a silicone seal to ensure that no liquid or steam escapes when turning. Another great advantage is the ability to completely separate the two parts and use them as two classic separate pans.
