Title: Steel pans
Post by: fried on November 04, 2012, 06:06 PM

Christmas is coming and me and the missus usually buy ourselves a join prezzie, normally kitchen related. I've promised her a replacement for one of her pans that I scratched all the protective coating off :-X

I in return can get a new pan. I'm fairly happy with my non-stick aluminium pan, but it's a bit too non-stick and a bit convex.

I'd love a steel pan something like:http://www.amazon.co.uk/De-Buyer-5610-32-Mineral-Diameter/dp/B00462QP1G/ref=pd_sim_kh_1

I'm cooking on induction and I want something that I can use my metal chef's spoon in and that'll caramelise a bit. I'm worried that it might be too thick and difficult to adjust the temperature with.

Any thoughts?

I bought one of these 30cm steel woks (http://www.waitrose.com/shop/ProductView-10317--170704-Waitrose+cooking+stir+fry+pan+30cm+12%22) from Waitrose at
