This pan does it all and is one of the most used pans in my kitchen. I love the draining/warming rack that comes with the pan and use it for placing fried food on to drain a bit before transfer, warming after vegetables are stir fried and need a resting place before transfer. I have even cooked hambergers in this pan and placed on the rack with cheese and let the cheese melt up there while frying the next batch. So many uses and I can't recommend enough.
the cast iron helps keep the temp very consistent, which you need for deep frying, the resting rack is helpful so that the liquid or oil drains back to the pan, leaving things nice and crisp. I haven't tried it yet for stir fry but I've heard good things.
So, FYI, I ordered this with visual imperfections because thats all they had in the Grenadine ( my fav color) it was a good deal and I was prepared.. NOT a Single problem, Guess I can't go into quality control because this looks like a first quality pan in any and every way. maybe I was lucky but I've read elsewhere that Zwilling quality standards are so high that other people have seen the same lucky result!
This is my go to wedding gift. In this Dark Blue color too. It is a stunning deep blue. But better than the color is the usefulness of the pan itself. It's so easy to make stews, curries and pasta sauce in this wok shaped pan. Combine ingredients and simmer until you bring it to the table for the family to enjoy together. The heavy duty cast iron keeps food warm while you enjoy.
I also use mine for deep frying. Tempura. Fish fry. French fries. It comes with the draining rack. So easy to work with, and easy to clean afterwards.
Let this pan be the center of your table. It is great for stews and curries. Ideal for family dining. Or keep it on the stove to deep fry - excellent for making donuts, tempura or the best fired fish dinner!
This pan literally stays on my stove all day. I use it for everything - soup, boiling noodles, frying steak, deep frying and of course stir fry. The heat distribution is amazing - I have a tiny burner but the entire pans heats up. Everyone needs on of these pans.
