Flat Bottomed Stir Fry Pan

A flat bottomed stir fry pan is a very useful addition to your kitchen tools for creating many Korean and Asian dishes.

This versatile pan features a wide and shallow shape, allowing for quick and even cooking of meats, vegetables, and noodles. Its flat bottom ensures that food cooks evenly and does not burn or stick to the surface. Whether you're a seasoned chef or just starting to explore Korean and Asian cuisine, a flat bottomed stir fry pan is an essential tool that will elevate your cooking game to new heights.

Uses:

The TeChef brand has been a staple in our household and former restaurant for several years now. These pans are extremely durable and can withstand heavy usage. While at the restaurant, they were mainly utilized for stir fry, but in our home, we have used them for various dishes, including thick stews, braises, and Korean fried chicken.

Preparing jjigae for a group of four or more people in separate ttukbaegi or stoneware on a personal stove may not be the most convenient option. With the TeChef pan, however, you can simply cook the stew and then transfer it into individual serving bowls, simplifying the process.

One way to cook Korean style chicken wings is by oil frying them first, then braising or stir frying them in the same stir fry pan after removing the excess oil. This method not only minimizes the number of cooking vessels needed, but also makes clean up simpler.

This pan provides ample space for stirring or turning foods while braising, preventing any spills and burns.

Additionally, we have utilized this pan for various dishes such as browning meatballs and aromatics for sphaggetti sauce, simmering the sauce, frying rice, crafting domed egg sheets for omu rice, and preparing flavorful broth from seared meats and vegetables.

Design:

The TeChef pan features a heavy-duty aluminum body with a durable non-stick coating. It has a flat bottom, which allows for even heat distribution and stability on the stove. The handle is long and comfortable to hold, with a slight curve for easy maneuvering. The pan also comes with a tight-fitting lid to seal in moisture and flavors while cooking.

One unique aspect of this pan is the patented "Teflon Select" technology used in the non-stick coating, which is said to be safe and long-lasting. The pan also has an induction-capable base, making it suitable for all types of stovetops.

Overall, the design of this pan makes it versatile for various cooking methods and dishes, while also being easy to use and clean.

Cleaning:

The TeChef pan is extremely easy to clean due to its non-stick surface. For minor messes, just wipe down with a paper towel or cloth. For tougher stains or buildup, simply soak the pan in hot soapy water for a few minutes before wiping it clean.

We have had our TeChef pans for several years now and have not experienced any loss of non-stick properties or major staining. As long as proper care is taken (no metal utensils or harsh scrubbing), the pan should remain in good condition for a long time.

Safety:

Not only is the TeChef pan PFOA-free, but all nonstick coatings used on TeChef products have been deemed safe for cooking by various regulatory agencies worldwide. This includes the European Food Safety Authority, French Food Safety Agency (ANSES), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). You can trust that the TeChef pan is completely safe to use with any food. The handle is also heat-resistant, so there is no risk of burning your hands while cooking.

However, as with any non-stick pan, it is important to follow proper care instructions to prevent any potential health hazards. Avoid using metal utensils or harsh cleaning methods that can scratch or damage the non-stick surface and release harmful chemicals into your food.

Durability:

We have found the TeChef pan to be quite durable. We have used ours regularly for several years without any major issues. As mentioned before, as long as proper care is taken, the pan should last for a long time.

Value:

The TeChef pan is reasonably priced compared to other non-stick pans on the market. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty, which provides peace of mind knowing that you can get a replacement if anything goes wrong.

Overall, we highly recommend the TeChef frying pan for its excellent non-stick properties, easy cleanup, safety features, durability and value. It has become our go-to pan for all our cooking needs and we are confident that it will serve you just as well in your kitchen.
