Stegegrej

Stegegrej is a Danish term that generally refers to the various tools and equipment used for cooking, particularly for frying or roasting. It encompasses a range of items designed to facilitate the process of preparing food over heat.

Common examples of stegegrej include frying pans, skillets, roasting pans, and baking sheets. These are typically made from materials such as metal, ceramic, or cast iron, chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures and conduct heat efficiently. Specialized items can also fall under this category, such as tongs, spatulas, and grill baskets, which aid in the manipulation and cooking of food.

The specific items included in the term "stegegrej" can vary slightly depending on the context, but the core idea remains consistent: the implements necessary for cooking food using dry heat, often involving oil or fat. In a broader sense, it can sometimes extend to include oven mitts and aprons, as these are also related to the act of cooking. The term is widely used in Danish households and culinary discussions.
