1.5L Electric Frying Pan with Steamer

We purchased this item to use in our motorhome. We have found it to be very good quality. It warms up very quickly and cooks the food well. Only really suitable for two to three portions though.

We like this Audecook Dual Low wattage saucepan/frypan/ steamer. Used in a Campervan with Powerbank or Hook up.We like the Dual heat setting perfect for all uses including sauteeing/boiling water Low and High.Simple to operate clean and maintain. The bowl is not too deep and 'not too shallow' for light frying and lifting out food. Brilliant!The design means you can easily do all three of the above and the sides and bottom of the unit do not get hot.Audecook saucepan1.5 Litres with steamer - It fills 1.5 Lts but obviously, you would never actually use this at 'Brim level' - Bank on about 1.0 Lt for safe use in this 1.5 Litre pan. 1-2 persons. The steamer, if you have bought this option holds about enough vegetables/mussels for 2 people etc. The glass lid fits neatly over this and over the pan if not using the stainless steamer. You only need a cup of water or two if steaming only initially on 600w and then on the lower setting. The steam residue from the domed lid goes back into the pan.We wanted this for a campervan what we like is the low wattage for warming soup, and porridge and the higher 600w for frying eggs/ making buttered bread/toast, or heating water. 600W is recommended for short periods e.g. Frying. ( So assume about 10 -15 minutes).When connected to a Power charger we read 274w consumption on the Low setting and 574 w on the 'High setting'.The 1.5 Lt will supply food for 1-2 people - The slightly larger latest model 1.7 Lt should cater for up to 3 adult portions. (The bowl is slightly more bulbous).Performance -We think the performance is adequate and expected as the wattage is low, about 60% of domestic electric fry pans are 1200w-1500w or more. For heating food or frying this is excellent for our campervan 'Off grid' needs using a power bank - the dual heat settings are useful and cover all cooking options. 2 cups of water at 600w with the lid on 4 minutes to boil. About 6 minutes on the 'Low setting' . Heat is instantaneous.Lead length is adequate - however it might 'get in the way ', as it fits at the end of the handle and if the pan is empty it will tip - however washing up is easier as the socket part is where you hold the handle - however, and importantly the unit cannot be dunked in water - Just wipe the inside with a paper towel or add a splash of water to a hot pan with a drop of detergent and another to rinse. A light spritz/wipe of oil will keep the non-stick integrity of the pan.The simple Control dial is OFF - LOW - HIGHOnly wooden or silicone serving stirring utensils - the non-stick will not last forever. We primed sealed ours with some cooking oil. Comes with a nice silicone spatula / Lifter and a simple wipe yellow sponge for cleaning. The optional steamer is stainless and has wide holes for efficient steaming. To minimise storage it fits at the base of the saucepan with the inverted lid on the pan top.VERDICT: Ticks all the boxes for use in a campervan using a power bank - Easy to clean. There is minimal heat dissipation on the side or bottom of the pan even at a high heat setting, which is an excellent safety feature.We like the shape as it can be used for frying/toasting, soups, stews, and porridge. A small ladle or spoon is probably better if the pan is full of liquid to dispense. It does pour reasonably well if about 1.2 litres max in the pan. We like that it is lightweight. Could it act as a Slow cooker on Low heat? Possibly, however always with someone in attendance as stirring would be a good idea every so often.The integrity of the non-stick may be a concern in the long run as with all non-stick types.The pan is very light and we like that it switches off automatically if the temperature gets too high as a 'failsafe feature'. (Above 200 degrees C - This ' Failsafe Feature' will operate at both Wattage settings.The Kettle connection cord is 1.5m and plugs into the handle which some may find annoying however when disconnected the panhandle is good to hold when wiping clean the inner bowl - the bowl base cannot be immersed in water as it contains the ventilation for the electrics - not a problem once you understand how this works!The 1.7Lt model is 200w/ 600w and has a hex clad nonstick. Audecook also markets a ceramic coating 2.0 lt model with a higher wattage 350w /800w model.

Great little pan. It heats up in seconds, you have to pay attention otherwise you might burn your food. Cooks food in no time at all, I cooked a steak in it, (medium rare,) and it was ready in less than 7 mins. It doesn't seem to send electricity meter into a tailspin, and finally, a quick wipe with kitchen towel first then use damp cloth and the jobs done. A good purchase, would recommend.

Love this all in one heated pan. I have noticed that if I'm trying to shake the food around in the pan, sometimes the power lead loses connection and the product goes off. No biggie as you're keeping your eye on it anyway. Would recommend investing in silicon utensils as the inside of the pan does mark easily. Generates quite a bit of heat off the bottom, even the little feet on the bottom of the pan that elevate it from the surface gets warm, so depending upon where you're using this, maybe have a doubled up tea towel underneath but keep it stable. Easy to clean as per the instructions, just make sure the pan has cooled sufficiently. I've used my for stir fries and fish fingers so far, cooks evenly with no problem. After cooking the above takes between 25-35 minutes to completely cool down.

I have a small kitchen with a small amount of work surface so I have a large chopping board across my hob that I use as extra space. I recently bought a large Ninja 9-in-1 crockpot that now sits on the board so rather than having to keep taking it off each time I need to use a single hob ring (which is fairly often during the week) & carrying the board & pot into the dining room to sit on the table, husband can use the saucepan instead to make things like poached eggs or scrambled egg for his breakfast. It’s been perfect to reheat curries, casseroles & soups that I make, it holds enough for two decent sized portions. It heats up really quickly and efficiently and is so easy to clean. Highly recommended.

I've only used this pan once so far. Overall, it's great. I tried it with my Jackery, and it was fine. It heats up quickly and it's easy to use. I like the glass lid, which has a steam vent hole. It doesn't seem to turn off, ie regulate the heat well. It just keeps getting hotter. Maybe that's because I only used it to fry eggs and not cook soup or something that takes longer. I'll give it another go and update my review later.

This makes an excellent smaller, more convenient and more easily cleaned alternative to a full size steamer. Both steamer and cooking sections measure 19cm diameter x 6.5 depth, so best for 1 or 2 people. It is stainless steel with plastic handles and after about 20 machine washes still looks fine. Mostly you can just wipe clean. It has two settings 300watt and 600 so must be cheap to use. Most steaming just needs a glass of water that that heats up as quickly as a full size steamer. The bottom section has an apparently good quality non-stick coating. If used a lot for steaming it gets a kettle-like coating but limescale remover removes that in seconds. Also did well fast-frying salmon in oil.

Bought to use with a power bank in my camper van and it works perfectly mine boiled a full pan of water in 6mins 25 seconds cooks food perfectly and with the option to steam food as well makes this a solid bit of kit to take with you on short trips of longer camping holidays with electric hook up . This is a great product and for the price it's well worth having one with you on any journey.
