WTB cold handle frying pan

[snapper]

Coldfeet - For what it's worth, I found my pan in a July 4th flea market that's held annually up my way. I realize you probably want one now but it might be worth your while, if you don't find one in the meantime, to check some out when you can. Even down your way my guess is there are some indoor winter flea markets. Might we worth a trip.

BTW...my pan bottom is a bit wavy but so far it hasn't effected anything I've tried cooking. I think the key was mentioned already by Robin; getting the pan "seasoned" is important to the process. Originally my pan had some rust so I put in the required elbow grease after allowing it to soak in some Dawn for an hour or so. Once that was done I approached the seasoning by hand rubbing olive oil into the warmed up pan. I did this a couple of times and do it again after each use. So far, so good. Hopefully you'll have the same experience when you find your pan.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

Thanks snapper, I can wait. July 4th trip up to Hall of Fame sounds like a fun time. Happy holidays

for all you cold handle pan users....what size pan is best.....if you only want to trip with one or two.

It does matter the size of the group but the one I use the most is my 10 1/2" but I do have a 14" I like.

And I think 10 1/2 will be what I would use to....

 

[Nodrama43]

looking around on eBay there are plenty of the smaller ones but the large ones are few and far between. I may have to buy somebody's pretty painted one and then glass bead all the paint off and start fresh...

I use an 8", that is the cooking surface is 8". Solo Summer and spring/fall hot tent trips. I would like to own a bigger one, but never have found one yet.

In my case, a smaller pan is better because I usually just cook for myself and my stove has a small surface after I downsized it so I have room for a coffee pot.
My stove now has a 1" smaller pipe and is 4" shorter than in this picture.

Robin do you mean shorter as in height or in length? Did you make this one yourself?

My current wood stove is the Two Dog DX that is 11x11 x18 deep and it has a 5 inch flu opening. It weighs 38 pounds though which is more that I want to carry in the canoe. The Ti stove I am looking at is 10x10x18 deep, has a 4 inch flue opening and only weighs 8 pounds.

For all of you looking for CHFPs they are all over eBay some cheap, $20.00 with shipping.

I picked two nice ones last week on eBay. A #39 1/2 and a #42. I think I have about 50.00 combined in them shipped. The larger ones are harder to come by for sure.

Just bought another 10 1/2" for $12 and change, w/shipping.

 

[Nodrama43]

Congrats. Two is all I need for my cooking tasks.....actually I will probably only pack the bigger of the two I bought. I think it is about 9 1/2 inches across.

A 9 1/2 is what I'm looking for now. Yesterday I found a nice old pan lid that's too small for my 10 1/2 but too large for an 8". I saw one on the Bay yesterday but they were in tough shape.

 

[Nodrama43]

I have my pans soaking right now as a matter of fact. My small one is really nice, but the 9 1/2 has some real tough baked on charcoal looking stuff. I am going to clean them both real well and then reseason them. I am also going to Waynesville on Saturday where there are probably 50 antique/general store type places. I will see what I can find.

So I'm at my favorite consignment store today and came across these 8 1/2 & 9" Enameled Cold Handle Fry Pans.

I don't need them, but then again I don't have enameled ones.
