Find me a frying pan

Glaucus · 17 Sep 2009 at 17:24

I'm having trouble finding a frying pan, I'm sure I've seen them before. But for the life of me I can not find any.

What I'm after is the same but with two of the hooped handles instead rather than a normal handle, so it actually fits in the oven and doesn't waste room.

Is there a special name for them or are they just rare.

Don't look for a frying pan, Look for Paella Pan

Is this wok any good for your purposes?

Aren't you supposed to use frying pans on the hob?

you're not going to find a frying pan with 2 hoops as it'd be useless for frying. Moving the pan would be annoying.

maybe you need a shallow casserole dish..

or a griddle pan

Sometimes it's useful to be able to stick a frying pan in the oven. This can shorten cooking time for things like Spanish tortillas and save the bottom part from getting overcooked as it might if left on the hob until the top was cooked.

Kind of but lots of things need starting of on the hob then goign into a oven. My anolon professional doesn't fit in the oven. Which is why all good pans have metal handles so you can sick them in the oven.

This is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for, but can't find it in the UK. Hope link is ok, usually is with direct link to product.

Would prefer lower sides, but apart from that looks perfect. Unless anyone has any other ideas.

Well, when I say spag bol I mean mince, onions and gravy + spaghetti.

I'm easily amused.

Exactly what I thought.

Just watch out for the size: paella pans are huge!

Not exactly what you're looking for, but something for you to consider. http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.a...UKHG-UK14?cm_re=PAGE-_-DEPARTMENTS-_-POTSPANS
