i was drawing the line at casseroles. IMO a pan needs a handle.

otherwise i’ve got a lasagne dish and a tagine and fuck knows what else that are all pseudo-pans

Moving house soon and will be with no more housemates who don’t take care of things. So I get to restock my shelves. My plan:

  • Cast iron/oven safe frying pan (meat & etc)
  • Generic cheapish tefal non-stick x2 (veggies, eggs)
  • 2 x saucepan (thick heavy bottom, one big one small)
  • shallow casserole dish
  • deep casserole dish
  • wok

Reckon that’s my lot

thank you.

i always stayed away from tefal stuff because [SOMEONE] would use a metal fork on it and scratch all the non-stick stuff and it would be a disaster. live on my own now so am able to look after my pans. maybe i need tefal back in my life?

so a saute pan is like a shallow saucepan with curvy sides?

#21

see I have a saute pan and don’t really like it; would always use a casserole dish over one for sauces etc.

#22

wok with a handle is how I would describe mine

frying mushrooms with garlic and cream
saute potatoes with lots of butter

keep the ingredients moving

Ikea do a whole range and most of them look to be shallow. Don’t know what the difference is between those and a frying pan. Mine is this one: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/cookware/frying-pans-woks/skänka-wok-with-lid-grey-art-60129463/
