I am wanting to buy a good frypan for the recipes that Helen often puts up.There is a chicken one and another couple that I can't think of at the moment but have copied.These meats stay in the pan for the whole cooking but my fry pans are a bit tinny.Can anyone recommend a good fry pan to cover these recipes.The price won't bother me as long as it performs well.Thanks.

The NZ-made 'Ironclad' pan is cast iron, and comes with a guarantee that lasts for several generations. It's had quite a bit of publicity recently, and here's their website: [www.ironcladpan.com]

I have a Woll I think it's German made & I love it, had it a few years now & the good thing about it also, is the handle easily comes off to put into the oven as well. Never cok on a very high heat as it isn't necessary & it holds the heat. Quite expensive but worth every cent. I bought ours at a foid show.

I have looked up Koll on line & they do have a sale area but looks like the handles don’t come off but still able to be put into the oven & I think no lid. The one I have has a red colour on the top of the handle indicating it comes off. I like it because brown on stove top finish in oven style of cooking. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Sometime ago a lady on here mentioned she had pots as well & felt the same as me about them. A life time buy.

Thanks Helen I was looking at those last night and I like the Le Creuset very much and think that is the one I will buy.This type of pan was what Karena and Lyn V were suggesting I buy so Le Creuset is a good idea.I tend to cook lots of oven recipes but you have put up a few recipes lately for stove top but I don't have a decent frypan to cook them in and I am keen to try them.I have been looking at buying a good frypan for years now is the time.Your recipes are brilliant.

Thanks Griz I had one of these years ago and I gave it away for that same reason.The ones I am looking at now have a handle on the side which my one didn't but I am still a bit hesistant to buy incase it is too heavy still, when full.They are expensive and I can only do it once so I am also now looking at the stainless steel type that can go into the oven aswell.In the mean time I am enjoying the search online.Thanks Griz .

Are you looking for a saute pan -- straight sides -- or a fry pan -- flared sides?
If you want a cast iron pan that won't break the bank, look at a Lodge brand pan. They're made in the US, pre-seasoned, and are very good pans and really rather cheap in the world of cookware (under $100!). They don't have an enamelled interior, so is best not to cook acidic sauces in them for too long though. Downside is that they're heavy, I have a 30cm pan and it is truly heavy. Unless you're regularly cooking for 4 or more, you probably don't need that big though.

Jenna,Helen has put a few recipes on here that she cooks from start to finish in a frypan.One is the chicken curry with rice so I will need a frypan with higher sides.I think I will be ok with the heavy pan as long as it has a handle opposite the main handle.My last one didn't and I couldn't lift it easily.The one you have shown me here is the one I would like and thank you very much I have not come across this one in my search.Much appreciated.

Thanks everyone for your advice.I bought the Lodge cast iron pan that Jenna mentioned last night as it was free for me with 565 flybuy points.I should have more luck with this as it has the handle at the opposite end to the main handle.As I haven't had to pay out for this I can take my time looking out for something lighter if this doesn't suit me.Thanks again everyone.

Try checking out Anolon Advanced Nonstick 10-Inch Skillet, it is the best fry pan I have used so far. But was having a problem with the rats at home, so disturbing. Good thing I have found a Tomcat Mouse trap https://bestratpoison.org/tomcat-mouse-trap-reviews/, it really helps.
