26cm Rapid-Heat Enamelled Cast Iron Frying Pan with Lid

26cm Rapid-Heat Enamelled Cast Iron Frying Pan with Lid by FIREUP
The Buy Me Once Verdict

A frying pan that heats like an oven. FIREUP's patented fin design carries heat across the base and up the 5cm-high sides, so this 26cm skillet heats up to 44% faster and far more evenly than a standard cast iron pan – and uses less energy doing it. Cast in Italy from recycled iron, with a tight-fitting lid for braising, baking and keeping things warm.

FIREUP was founded by an Oxford-trained rocket scientist who applied heat-transfer principles from rocket engine cooling to the humble cast iron pot. Months of laboratory testing confirmed the science behind the fin design, and the result is the world's first energy-saving cast iron cookware: heirloom-quality pieces designed to last a lifetime and end the cycle of replacing pans every few years.
