Need an electric frying pan

Featured Replies

Where can I buy a normal Western electric frying pan in Chiang Mai?  A flat bottom, smooth (teflon) surface, thick handle, a cord that plugs in?  I have near tragedies with the various kinds of  ridged surfaces and dual sided plates-- scrambled eggs get lodged; they grills aren't built for cooking foods like French toast, pancakes,grilling meat etc.  They were easy to find in China when I worked there.  But it's really a pleasure being back here. Thanks.

Why not buy a flat bottomed, smooth Teflon surfaced, thick-handled frying pan which goes on the gas/charcoal/electric hob?

Buy a high quality induction cooker & high quality non stick pan, instead of combo thingy as sounds a bit limiting.

Central Online comes up with decent sale now & then.  I got a nice carbon steel, ceramic coated fry pan (Cuizimate ฿299), and one of my favorite atm.   Just searched and not available.

 

We have an Electrolux induction cooker, though hindsight, should have got the better model, with more temp options.  Takes a bit of getting used to, as heats pan surface almost instantly.

 

More a gas cooking fan myself, as easier to control.

Oh, now I remember. I never knew they were induction.  I also had one in China. Not the best, because they only accepted certain kinds of pans...Has that changed? Or what kinds of pans to you use? The Ch ones cut off automatically when you were searing meat or popping popcorn...

 

I live in a large-ish bedsit without a normal stove.  Another alternative in China for lots of foreigners was a normal square Western electric skillet with a metal lid. They don't seem to be available here; I'll look at Robinson's & see what they have. 

 

I have seen small electric hot plates here (white with grey burners). Has anyone used them?  Gas isn't allowed in quite a few bedsits/apts. here. With high hopes for finding a good heat source, I brought two good normal skillets on the plane.  Thank you

Lazada really is your friend.

If a magnet will stick to the pan (iron), it's usually good for an induction cooker.  All new pans will be labeled anyway, for energy sources.

 

Steer away from cast iron, as it's a bit too much, and a techie told me it will degrade the cooker.  Besides, it will probably scratch up the cooking surface also.  Big cast iron fan, but keep to the gas hobs.
