Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Furniture / Household Appliances / product description
Chinese term or phrase: 卡式/沙士
*This is HK Chinese
the context is a product description (saucepan)
卡式双耳锅
沙士双把锅
I get the Two Handle pan with lid & single-handle saucepan with lid part. Is what is before that is puzzling. At the beginning I thought to something like: 卡式 = 卡式炉.
But I'm not sure anymore, especially for 沙士 (isn't it SARS in Hong Kong Chinese???)

Thanks to everybody.
