A Denby Cast Iron Griddle Pan is about to go on sale - is it the perfect steak pan?

[SpeedFreak]

no chance he got it lol

 

[lookitsjonno]

hmm i was watching it count down and said sold out! am i missing something?

sounds like a good pan but i can get a lecreuset one in almond to match my saucepans for £30

 

[chipperhead]

I was expecting more of a discount tbh.

 

[matthewhotdude]

lol they sold 1000 wii's at £50 in like a second on Monday

How do people buy it so fast? I even had it at the order stage already. Not happy

 

[Glaucus]

it's £25 every where else, so I doubt it's a deal as Amazon have jacked the price upto £35 before the sale.

I get free delivery through Amazon, and I expected it to be about £20 after the discount.

Oh well

 

[Glaucus]

[platypus]

The steaks are too high!

I used to use a griddle pan for steaks and whilst the lines are nice I find a normal pan gives a better 'sear' and finish in general. I think I tried as Ramsey used a standard pan and thought I'd give it a go.

I agree with this, though cast iron griddle pans (Le Creuset, pronounced Crerzay not Crewzay, you moron!) give it a nice almost chargrilled flavour and are also great for chicken breasts.

Mine isn't non-stick as such by the way (in terms of extra non-stick coating), I think they're meant to build up their own non-stick layer.

We've got a large Le Creuset collection, we get a new one every year from the other halfs parents as well. Such lovely cookware.

I managed to get 30" Le Creuset pot on the black friday sale on tuesday for £65 I now have pretty much the whole range. I'd definately recommend them, the thick cast iron makes for nice even cooking.

Might try for the bread maker in 15 mins

Was thinking that too. Bugger off !

Did you get it? I was too slow damit, £40 was quite a good price.

This is turning into talking about a competitor directly but yes, these things are selling faster than hot cakes, including that pan a I watched it go. The few times I've been on the site on the hour mark, all discounted products have sold out within the minute! I really can't understand why people are falling for them, considering the discounts. I think it's more of a ploy to get people hooked. 1 of 10 product will be heavily discounted (Wii for £50, 37 lcd tv with £100 off, etc), but the other 9 will only be by a mere 10-20%. People still think the latter are cracking deals and buying them. Good marketing/advertising/whatever to lure gullible people in.

Your right, most of the deals are crap, theres the odd good one. I think we can talk about Amazon as OcUK still class it as a book shop.

Nah I didn't bother in the end.

 

[Rotty]

you need a flat pan not a griddle pan for steaks
