Exceptional quality fry pan from Scanpan

Pressure cast aluminium base will never warp or buckle – even if used on an Aga and ensures even heat distribution acros the pan. Scanpan are so confident in the durability of their non -stick surface, that they do not discourage the use of metal implements! Available in sizes from 20cm to 32cm.

Paul Bowskill reviewed his Scanpan frying pan on Richmond Cookshop

I have just ditched my Le Creuset Frying pans in favour of Scanpans. These pans are comparatively light and provide excellent heat distribution – which is ideal for me as I have a halogen hob. I am constantly amazed by the sheer ‘slippiness’ of these pans. They allow hassle free dry-frying and are incredibly easy to wash. After a few months regular use the pans are still looking as good as new. With my old set (and previous sets) this was never the case, and the coating eventually wore off. So much for 25 year guarantees!

I am addicted to these pans!! And am now buying them for my daughter.

Would recommend them to anyone building a serious battery de cuisine.

Sasha Lubetkin reviewed her Scanpan frying pan on Richmond Cookshop

I bless the day that I bought my Scapan frying pan. It is – quite simply – by far the best frying pan I’ve ever had in all my long, long life. It cooks beautifully and is incredibly easy to clean.

Amazingly, it is as light as a feather (which would be a great boon to anyone with the misfortune to suffer from arthritis).
I was brought up to believe that only a cast iron pan gave proper heat-distribution and eliminated hot spots, but Scanpan gives the lie to that old tale.

I recommend this frying pan without any reservation.

Keeping everything clean

As you work, you will notice that your cleaning fluid turns black and has a tendendcy to spread about and get “everywhere”.
You will need to make an effort to keep both your work area and yourself clean.

• cover your work surface with absorbent kitchen towels or old newspapers
• don’t be tempted to clean your pans on your lap
• your clothes will almost certainly become stained if you do
• messy hands? – you may find a thin pair of surgical gloves very useful!

Cleaning your pans

• apply copper cleaner to the surface, with soft damp sponge or cloth
• rub gently until the tarnish is removed
• rinse immediately in hot water
