Double skillet now available

Looks like someone else has started manufacturing them. Great product (had one for years) and i think i would buy a smaller one if they start making them.
just had a look at the old website and it appears that the 8" pan is the smaller one . The large pan is 9 1/2" which makes it a bit tight to get a kettle on at the same time :lol-053:

I'd hope it was better quality I never felt that the original was of good quality or value for money. But having said that a useful thing to have and ours has had a lot of use. There is an alternative which we also have bought for 27 euro in Carrefour Spain and of much higher quality but no removable handles.
 
It is probably the same product made by the original manfacturers. The Company was suspended a couple of years ago when one of the two Lady owners died. The other one promised to resume trading at some point in the future. I expect that is what has happened (especially as they still offer a free diffuser, which we got when buying a DS at Lincoln Show some years ago)
 
Can anybody kindly give me a rough idea as to cooking times for say chicken, beef etc. Any good recipes? Saw somewhere the book not so good. Say joint of beef in skillet would i put water in or stock or dry, cant find proper info, all say wouldnt be without it but nobody goes into method.
Thanks

whats wrong with a Spanish omelette pan, will do exactly the same.
 
you can simply turn it upside down unlike a pot with the lid on! we bought one years ago in Fuengirola and still use it, althoughit could do with being thrown away lol. I will treat the wife to a new better one , this October in Benidorm

A gentleman asked about the possible support he would get, if he started to make double skillets available again, on MHFun last year.

There has been a long running thread and he produced some samples which seemed to some to be better quality than the original double skillet. There were some comments about the non stick coating on the original and he claimed the new coating would be better wearing. The last time I looked at the thread he was starting limited production. He was taking pre production orders through that site, now it looks like he as opened up the market.

So it is not the original company or manufacturer producing these but a new one, who is a motorhomer. A brand new product improving on the original design.

I have no connection with this company, but we have used and were very pleased with the old double skillet which is still going after 6 years of full timing.

After looking on OurTour website:

Double Skillet! An Oven When You Have No Oven

there was a post only yesterday leading to:

Welcome to the Double Skillet Pan Company

I have ordered one this morning and if you order before end of August, you will get included a free heat diffuser.

Total cost including p&p is £48.70.

Hope it's as good as the original!

We've been looking for one for ages since reading that same blog and initially have been getting by with the Spanish omelette pan version. We got one of these now and it's way better quality and is much deeper so will give us much more flexibility in our cooking. Thanks for posting the link.
 
I wonder if they will be at any shows? Has the original lady has anything to say about this,as in the past she has been very quiet,to the point of wondering if she has given up completely? She was reluctant to reveal the manufacturers of the original unit,they may have given up also.

Just ordered one of these, hope it works as good as some of my friends say it does.
 
An Alternative Perhaps?

Even though we have a fitted oven in the van we use a ceramic non stick frying pan with a lid for warming things up.It's mainly used for heating food up and not cooking full chickens.It will heat up anything from pasties,oven chips to baked potatoes(wrapped in foil and cooked slowly),it will also do a delicious full english breakfast of course.

We find that using the oven for long periods produces a lot of residual heat which can be stifling within the confines of a motorhome during the summer months.On longer breaks and in decent weather we sometimes have an air awning erected with a 2 burner hob outside connected to an external BBQ point and do all the cooking outside.This keeps the motorhome a lot cooler.
 
Can some of you experienced skillet users put up some recipes and cooking methods please.
I bought one last year but have only used it once not sure what to do with it.
I cooked a small joint of pork in it with stuffing...not advisable to put the stuffing in as that just ended up a sloppy mess with all the liquid, but the pork was Ok ��
