Pancake Perfection

published

I only cook one thing on my Frying Pan and that is Pancakes. Therefore i consider myself an expert in the Art of cooking Pancakes they need to be light an fluffy and have an even colour, hence the pan needs to have an even heat across the pan . After reading previous reviews i purchased my new Pancake cooking tool, i firstly seasoned the stainless steel pan as recommended in previous reviews to make it non stick. My first batch of pancakes was disappointing, i burnt the bottom and they were sticking, total disaster. I re-seasoned the pan a second time and adjusted the cooking temperature to number 7, presto! the perfect pancake and no sticking.

Very good frypan - very even heat, good control.

published

We have had ours for about a month now and can't find anything negative to say about this product. Very even heat over the whole cooking surface and is very easily cleaned in the dishwasher. We finally got fed up with replacing perfectly good pans because the non-stick surface had deteriorated and will be looking for a new stainless wok soon!
Even heat, easy to clean, large cooking area
Nothing so far

Great pan

published

I have had this pan for nearly 18 mths. I love it. It is easy to keep clean. I don't have to worry about the kids using metal utensils and scratching the non stick surface. Now that I have mastered cooking with stainless, I will not be going back to nonstick.
Sears meat well. Even cooking
Sometimes buzzes when you turn it on

Broke just out of warranty

published

This item did the job ok while it lasted, but at $170, I hoped it would have lasted a bit longer than 13 months.
No good for slow cooking stews, sauces or soups as the heat fluctuates at low temperatures - hot-cold-hot-cold - so food would either boil away or not cook at all. Decent, quick heat for searing meat etc and can also be used as a bain marie over for heating pots and pans for indirect heat cooking.
However - the plug has no gone kaput *just* after the warranty expired. I expected better from this brand however now will simply be buying cheaper products as there appears to be no difference in quality. Save your $$$.
Quick to heat for frying, good size
Poor quality item despite high price tag, no good for long slow cooking.

Over Rated

I did my research before purchasing and all sounded as though it was worth paying extra for quality. The first and all subsequent uses have been disappointing as everything sticks unless you are deep frying. Not only does it stick but its near impossible to clean where it has stuck. We have converted back to using our $30 non stick frypan.
All over heating
Expensive, Everything sticks

Fantastic.

published

I love this electric frypan.
Completely stainless steel so extremely easy to clean & can wack into the dishwasher as well.
Heats up very quickly, and has an even spread throughout pan - with no areas which aren't as hot as others.
Comes with a rack for steaming - I wrapped trout in foil and steamed and it was absolutely delicious and so easy.
Heats quickly and evenly.

After many years use of SS cookware, I can assure you that sticking will only occur if the appliance is not seasoned properly before use.

what setting do i use to roast a small leg of lamb weighing 1.4 kilos

It would entirely depend on what type of result you were looking for. It would probably be best to saute the strips of lamb as the Thermal Pro does not have a roast function.

Lower setting on Breville would be somewhere between warm and simmer.

All the best!

How do I stop food eg. eggs from sticking, I use plenty of oil & they still stick. Great for roasts but cant fry eggs. I have just purchased Breville Thermal Pro Stainless BEF560.
