I would guestimate. I think you have to decide what's fair for all. Look at the sizes. I had a customer want to do that once and wanted me to decide what was fair to each of them so I divided by the number of pieces and then looked at the final cost for each piece (plus the lid for those with a lid) and adjusted from there. Or divide by the number of pans and take some off for the one without a lid or the smaller one and add it to the larger/lidded one or what ever seems fair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of purchasing pans in sets?
Purchasing pans in sets often provides a cost-effective solution compared to buying individual pieces. Sets are designed to complement each other, ensuring that you have the right tools for various cooking tasks. Additionally, they often come with a warranty and are made from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and performance.
How do I choose the right pan set for my cooking needs?
When choosing a pan set, consider your cooking style and the types of dishes you frequently prepare. Look for sets that include a variety of sizes and types, such as frying pans, saucepans, and stockpots. Also, consider the material—non-stick, stainless steel, or cast iron—based on your cooking preferences and maintenance requirements.
Can I use pans from different sets together?
Yes, you can use pans from different sets together, as long as they are compatible in terms of size and material. Mixing and matching can enhance your cooking experience, allowing you to utilize the best features of each pan. Just ensure that the cooking methods and heat sources are suitable for the materials used.
How should I care for my pan set to ensure longevity?
To ensure the longevity of your pan set, follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Generally, avoid using metal utensils on non-stick surfaces, and clean pans with non-abrasive sponges. Always allow pans to cool before washing, and store them properly to prevent scratches and damage.
Are there any special cooking techniques I should know when using a pan set?
Yes, different pans may require specific cooking techniques. For example, cast iron pans benefit from preheating and can be used for high-heat cooking, while non-stick pans should be used at lower temperatures to maintain their coating. Familiarize yourself with the best practices for each type of pan in your set to maximize their performance.
