I would like a frying pan I can put in the oven. Any recommendations?

[Guest ShoePiss]

I have a 11 3/4" le creuset skillet that works very well. Cheaper option would just be any old cast iron pan.

[Rico1304 6,588]

I've got a great one from John Lewis, about £40 and bullet proof.

What's it for, do you need a lid?

 

If not Shoe Piss has already given you your answer.

[Champ 4,706]

Are they non stick?

[Guest ShoePiss]

Not really

[Champ 4,706]

You know, like making tarte tatin and that kind of thing

Le Creuset. Sighs. For a different purpose I had my eye on one of their shallow casseroles but I just couldnt justify the price. How-ever, that little phrase, buy cheap buy twice always rings in my ear' so I am just left longing.

 

I was hoping for a 'budget but fabulous' option for the oven-proof frying pan but maybe the same rule applies.....

And in other news, I can thoroughly recommend Waitrose croissants, just warmed with apricot jam (Bonne Mamman, of course)

[mattyq 1,980]

Waitrose rock at pretty much everything apart from their bread which is shite and the fruit & veg is expensive.

Generally much fitter checkout girls, too, which is nice

What's it for?

 

And don't say to go in the oven.

If you're asking me again, I answered the first time. ( Does that sound arsey?)

[lifetime fan 10,770]

Didn't see your reply, you stuck it in the middle of my post.

 

Individual or large ones?

[Champ 4,706]

Individual ones or large ones what? Tartes tatin? (see, I know my French) They were just an example. I'm just looking for a reasonable sized heavy duty frying pan that can go in the oven and was hoping that someone might come up with a gem that would avoid me shelling out for Le Creuset

 

Just heading out to pick up my Dad's scarifier....which reminded me, I 've just noticed that my gooseberry bush has come into leaf. Hoping for better things this year

14" black iron frying pan £13. Perfect for tarte tatin.

Cheers. Will investigate later. My lawn is calling me (and, no, that isn't a euphemism)

That looks nice. Is it a recommendation from experience?

They're not bad, for the money you won't get better.

[Champ 4,706]

That's hardly a recommendation. Is it? Will I just wish I'd spent the money and bought Le Creuset?

[skaro 5,060]

Depends who's coming around.

Cheap one would be fine to use for me.

They're brilliant for tarte tatin, absolutely perfect.

 

For £13 it's worth a go.

I should be thankful you didnt mention the b word.

It isnt for anything specific but having got my mojo back I've just got renewed interest in things...and changing/buying stuff

 

 

 

 

maybe I'm getting a bit high? Who cares?

And now you're just teasing me but for 13 quid....

 

(See my previous post!)

Anyway, as you'd probably guess, too much cooked fruit in a tatin for me.

 

Mine's an apple gallette, please.
