Square Frying Pans

[Tidewaiter2]

Dear Father Christmas
I think you will have to agree that I have been very good this year. I have cleaned my teeth every night at bedtime and washed my hands every time I have been to the toilet.
I wonder if you could get me a square frying pan with a lid
I will of course leave you a nip of my finest malt, one of Dear Hearts mince pies and some carrots for the reindeers
Love
Claymore

Sorry, Claymore, I have just relinquished the role to Tom up the road, after 3 successful seasons, of undetected Santa-ism.
Why not spend the money the tooth fairy left you on the Boatie baking version + two lids = double yer burners, double yer cholestrol intake

NB the exquiste RP language of the above post, without a descent into regional patois, innit, Guv, need any requistes for the weekend?

BTW, Sod the nip, gulpers at least, plus smoked salmon on oatmeal bikkies, a jerboam of Krug, AND my pilot and observer will want a 3 course meal as well, while the Lynx is on the ground, awaiting my return-BTW, Santa doesn't do chimneys on H&S grounds.

Got the square pan for the boat, liked it so much bought another one. Using both gets breakfast ready so much quicker! The Lidl/Aldi ones look good but are so light I preferred to go for the heavy proper one.

Any thoughts?

I have two, well they are more oblong than square, fit my cooker perfectly, wouldn't be without them.

We have the robust LIDL one, but I had to reform the folding handle angle so it would clear the front fiddle bar on my Nelson Spinflo.

Brilliant, as has already been observed.

A further want would be the Tefal set of 3 saucepans with the sprung loaded removable handle, which means all the saucepans will stack inside of each other. Sadly, I can't find them again on the net, so it seems like they are no available anymore.

If only they made a pan with a detachable handle AND a lid!

I thought that they did. The handle attaches on the side rather than the end and it came with a lid.

they arn't available over here, lucky you....tried to buy one but the shipping was more than the cost of the pan.

May I suggest these (the flat ones on the left column), handles can be removed

in the US they seem available at least through amazon.com

We have the square one and indeed it's one of the most used piece of cookware onboard, fits neatly over the burners, a "solid" feel. Very very pleased with it.

if you have (basically) two-dimensional square eggs in the new pan, then a fun culinary item is to deliver cuboid boiled eggs.

They are going to star in a couple of domestic Christmas stockings this year

Yes. Really excellent but get the lid as well.

cooking......

....two large mackerel at a time. Excellent. You must buy the lid though, most handy. Bought the optional extra cook book at the same time but have never used it.

amazon has something but not what you have, the pan has ridges on bottom making eggs nalmost impossible, but thanks for the information...

My square pan predates the comes-with-lid version. But I do have a (circular) antisplatter cover. Serious chefs might argue that this encourages steaming as well as frying when doing a fry up. Either way it is a much appreciated pan

Btw I have seen old, old square aluminium saucepans( with lids and Bakelite handles). Perhaps they never caught on

 

[Poignard]

We have two Boatie's frying pans but both have developed convex bottoms so that the fat ends up round the sides. I don't know what has caused this. Maybe we have had the heat too high?
