With the right equipment, cooking for family and friends can be a joy. Juicy steaks need searing, then resting in the oven, and Sunday morning eggs need frying. That’s where quality cookware comes in. The best cast iron skillet for your cooking needs might be compact and perfect for cooking an omelette for one or a glossy enamelled roasting pan that retains heat and adds colour to your dining table. Weight: keep in mind that the size of the pan directly affects its weight, and these pans can be weighty. If you anticipate any difficulty in handling a heavy pan, its wise to opt for a smaller size. Look out for pans with thoughtful additions, such as long handles or lug handles – these clever features make carrying the pan easier and provide added convenience. Handles: The size of a skillet handle will vary quite dramatically. A small handle makes a large skillet easier to move (it’s gentler on the wrist) and will often be paired with a helper handle. It will also make the skillet easier to store. Large, ergonomic handles feel more comfortable but suit a lighter skillet.If you want to batch cook, have a large family or enjoy preparing campfire food for lots of friends, the Petromax Fire Pan is the one for you. It’s massive, meaning this is a heavy pan, but it's virtually bombproof and will last for generations.
