Topic: Metal frying pan

[John]

On these recommendations i took a 30min drive out to my closest ASDA and picked up one of these 22cm frying pans,
I Haven't used it yet but it looks the business and at the price of only ?3.97 they are well worth the money. I've been looking around for a good frying pan but most these days are Teflon coated, this one isn't coated at all just the ones used in BIR's.

Hi All,

Like Darthphall I also use a taller pot 9" across and about 8" high. I got it from my local large Asian Hardware shop. It is what they use to cook their curries in at home and is called a "Haandi" (pronounced "harndy"). It cost ?12 but is all stainless steel with no teflon coating and has a very thick heavy base. This helps spread the heat evenly and seems to stop burning and sticking. It also has a lid when making the curry onion base so keeps the wife happy it isn't all on the ceiling! They also sell a range of steel fry pans which on enquiring is what the local restaurant chefs buy.
