Classical Range 32cm Copper Stew Pan with Cast Iron Handles

"Sleek, perfect pan lid"

What can you say about a pan lid other than its exactly what I hoped it was, fitting and flat but it completes my new beautiful pan.

"One pan to rule all pans"

I bought this pan hoping for it to be one pan that can replace a number of pans in my collection. So far, it has done just that in a space of a few weeks. I have seared steak in it, made soup, sautéed onions, braised a whole mutton leg, roasted a chicken and veg and I have also used it as a stock pot for making a big batch of stock.

For me, it is absolutely the best pan I have. The base is wide enough to make it an effective frying pan while the sides are shallow enough to allow evaporation. Conversely, the walls are tall enough to give the pot a good volume to allow for braises, stock making and batch cooking for things like Chilli Con Carne.

I use this for almost everything. It has replaced my carbon steel frying pan, my stock pot and my stainless steel wok. I think only my dedicated crepe pan and smaller sauce pans will survive my kitchen cull.

Others have commented on the copper, but I hope I have given an idea of how versatile the shape of this (32cm) pan is.

"Versatility at it's best"

A very well made pan. Nice and hefty! It has been vital for making soups, large stews for freezing, pot roasts,and even jam! The fact that it can also fit into the oven, and can be used for serving is a real plus.It really is a lovely pan.

"One of the best kitchen tools I own."

The heating on this pan is even, consistent and I make the best chicken stew and curry. My favorite pan.

"Magnificent!"

This magnificent pan is a hard working work of art - I love it! I enjoy using it so much that I am devising recipes just so I can use it again. I have made a scrummy fish stew for the extended family, cooked mussels, made a variety of soups for eating and freezing. I'm not sure I'll go near a stockpot again ... and I'm seriously considering the other stewpans in the range as this is such a versatile shape. Service and delivery from Falk Culinair is exemplary - thanks so much (I will be back!).

"Kings of Kings"

Now this is large by any standard. Great for those gatherings of mixing up a big batch of chilli con carne, or trying your own mango chillie pepper sauce excellent for making and feeding for a large party of people.

"Like this product"

If you wanna cook a dinner for 5 people( for example) this is your right choice! The last time when I cooked " tripe in Rome" I used it and the result was delicious food! When I have more visitor I recommend to cook in this cooper stew pan.

"Great for big meals"

I love this pot for big stews, tomato sauces, even cooking small chickens with the lid on.

Mind you, it is very, very heavy and a bother to fit in the sink, but worth it to me.

"Fantastic pan"

With this pan, I now have every size of 'Stew Pan' that Falk offer, and that's because I seem to use them for just about everything. They are not too deep, not too shallow. The curved sides that make stirring/whisking very easy. The 'ear' handles mean I can put them in the oven as easily as use them on the hob. Copper pans are heavy, and the paired handles also make lifting easy, even when full. All of which make these pans, to my mind, the most versatile around. For years, I used the 20cm, 24cm and 28cm Stew Pans for just about everything except pancakes or fried eggs or boiling pasta. This 32cm pan is perfect for making jam, and with its stainless interior I can also use it for large quantities of just about anything else. An absolute pleasure to use.

"A Behemoth in the Kitchen!!"

Metals have different heat transfer rates; copper and aluminium are good but each with drawbacks. Falk have mastered this taking heavy gauge copper for great heat properties and bonding it to stainless steel for strength and durability. This stew pan offers huge versatility with its wide flat bottom and gently formed corners it lacks hot spots that burn. It can fry, sauté, casserole with ease and is great on the stove top or in the oven. 14 for dinner, no problem, with its cavernous 7.5 litre capacity there’s plenty of Risotto or Paella to go round. This is a pan for life and will outlive me!
