Where can I get a cast iron skillet in Bangkok?

[talberry2]

I have been everywhere I can think of--to the department store in the mall, to Foodland, Big C...cannot find a cast-iron skillet anywhere (well, a normal one--the department store had one sort of like it, but it was coated with that non-stick crap, which I don't want. I just want a normal cast-iron skillet that has absolutely no coating added to it). Any suggestions?

[Upnotover]

Raro, member on here, sells cast iron pans, might do what you want....http://raro.asia/

[farang000999]

Those pans appear non stick as well. I don't know what Op is looking for to be honest... Non stick is standard, no?

[Upnotover]

Cast iron pans are seasoned with oil to make them non-stick, not coated with teflon or other crap..

[CWMcMurray]

True value has them ...

It's in K Village just off of Rama 4...

I have never seen a cast iron with Teflon that is not real cast iron probably just an aluminum pan.

I have purchased them at the Paragon Department Store and at the Emporium Department Store.

[talberry2]

I just visited Paragon. Most expensive was 11,900 or something like that. Cheapest was 4,300 but it wasn't a pan. it was more like a pot. These prices are ridiculous.

I shelled out the bucks and bought one from True Value hardware. Log Cabin brand made in the USA. It was 3500b.

[Scouse Twoccer]

Villa near 33 had them a few months ago.

I looked them up and under cookware they only had 3 items, none of which was a cast iron pan.

For a little bit more Raro gives a frying pan and a Dutch oven including postage writhing Thailand.

Can you tell me what 'unseasoned' means?

[talberry2]

nevermind. I looked this up. I'm not familiar with all this 'seasoning' stuff, as I never have used cast iron pans before. But some recipes i'll be doing require the use of this...so I guess now is the learning process

Thanks, by the way, for this information. I'll contact this company first thing in the morning to check on this pan!

Raro pans are great... season them yourself if you want but they come ready to cook with. Dutch oven is also very good... and heavy!

They are Raro pans.... why buy from a retailer when you can buy direct?

Because they are out-of-town for 2 weeks and I cannot buy from Raro

Suggestion:

Buy a modern design skillet for outstanding heat distribution. This is ultimate for deep searing and will especially ensure that the steak you cook will remain succulent.

Or Sous-Vide it at 50C then flash fry the outside....

You would still need a quality cast iron pan for optimal results

For a skillet usage.... actually the standard cast-iron skillet is a better choice for "seasoned" cooks.

yeah...I havta admit that I only ever used le creuset sauce pans and casseroles that belonged to others, couldn't afford them...in the past I had two splendid 12" cast iron skillets that got left behind with others as I moved on...cooked everything from scrambled eggs to chili with beans, spaghetti sauces, etc...perfect fer heating up corn tortillas fer breakfast after the eggs were cooked...

 

in the US new cast iron cookware is easy to find and relatively cheap...if yer real lucky you'll find a nice used seasoned one at a garage sale...found a really bitchen cast iron casserole with lid that way once, the oblong type...

I remember buying a fairly good cast iron frying pan in San Diego in a hardware store of all places.... for just under $20 at the time (probably around the year 2000).....  better than many much more expensive options to fry in.

Villa at soi 33/1 had several different sizes of the Log Cabin preseason cast iron pans last week. Can't recall the prices, but didn't seem unreasonable.
