3 tips when buying a frying pan
In the world of frying pans, there are mainly 2 types to choose from:
-
Cast iron or carbon steel pans are rather robust and can last a lifetime if looked after properly. They also provide a very even heat, perfect for cooking. You need to be cautious when cleaning them and ensure you don't leave them wet, as they can get damaged quickly.
-
Non-stick pans come in a range of materials and prices and are what most people tend to use. They have a special coating that stops food from sticking and can usually go in the dishwasher. But, their durability can differ quite a bit.
Having one standard pan can be enough, but using different sized pans makes cooking a breeze. A low-sided pan works wonders for pancakes, while a high-sided pan is perfect for simmering meat sauces and similar dishes. So, explore the options and pick the pan that's best for the kind of cooking you'll be doing most often.
Sometimes, inexpensive products can pleasantly surprise you with what they're capable of. But, with frying pans, this isn't usually the case. The inexpensive ones often have poor heat distribution and frying surfaces. And you don't need to spend a fortune to get something really good.
If you've found a cast iron pan that needs some restoration, there's a way to bring it back to life.
