Spec me a Frying Pan!

I do have a plastic shovel - or whatever the correct utensil name is - it has slightly melted on the bottom, not much, just enough that you'd know it wasn't new. .

I don't feel so "special" now. :D

I opted for the tefal wok (was like 22quid) just because i'll use it as a frying pan aswell, and usually cook stir fry's etc (and its good for pancakes!)

Being a student it was a bit of a stretch just for a pan so a different boat to yourself, but its lasted 3 years now and looks spank new which I can't complain about in any way.
 
I'm getting a hint of trendy from the more expensive French ones. So I think it's the Jamie Oliver one for me. Even though I really do not like the boy at all.

Can't go wrong at £19 I guess.

Turns out I can go wrong, £15 on auction site, delivered.

I like the look of that one for cooking bacon and eggs etc, Rotty. But I don't think it'd be ideal for omelettes. I'll see how the one I just bought does.

At £15 even if I don't particularly like it, it's not the end of the world. I'm just surprised that was how much they are.

My dad assured me the frying pan they got for his wedding was about £30 40 years ago, and it's a great big huge heavy thing that's outlasted other frying pans they've bought. I now have it, although it's certainly worse for age. It's fairly possible every single pan he bought to replace it was the cheapest on the planet at the time, as he's a bit of a false economist that way.
 
I like the Woll idea, purely out of racism as I prefer German engineering over French style ;p

As I said though the Jamie Oliver one is bought now, so I don't need any more suggestions - but thanks folks!

A good heavy frying pan will be more even with the way heat gets distributed and will also retain heat a lot better.

Get one with a metal handle so you can put it in the oven as well.

I used to use a cheap tefal one and bought an expensive le creuset pan when they were 1/2 price a year or so ago, the difference is amazing. I think it should have been about £60.00.

It gets used almost everyday for something or other.

Crazy to think it would make one bit of difference but there you go.
