Solidteknics 31cm AUS-ION Quenched Long Handle Pan $114.98 (50% off) Delivered / C&C / In-Store @ Myer

560

Hello,

First time poster. This is a follow on from the other solidteknics deal. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/871587

Myer has 50% off the 31cm version of the pans.

I managed to pick one up in store by accident when cc the other deal. They had it listed full price in the system and the website, however when I told them about how I got my 26cm pan 50% off they dropped the price.

Doesn’t say limited stock yet, so act fast or it will be gone like last time. If out of stock for delivery make sure to check click and collected, as that’s how I snagged one.

31cm ($114.98) - https://www.myer.com.au/p/solidteknics-31cm-quenched-lightni…

  • Ordered, thank you

    • Same, ta

      • f'íng cancelled the C&C on me

        • Ozbargained lol.

          Just go to Robbins kitchen, they got a closing down sale every week.

  • Have had one for a couple of years and wouldn't ever use anything else

  • got one.

    • We have some excellent news! Your order is packed up and ready for delivery.

      Hopefully it arrives…

      • Mine arrived today in the mail… A littler larger than I was thinking but great for the money.

        • Yeah I got an ALDI wok type pan 32cm, huge.
          28-29cm usually a good size.

    I remember when cast iron pans used to be $30 at Aldi

    • Not all cast iron icookware s the same.

      You can still get cheap cast iron cookware

  • This is not cast iron (title is wrong), it’s raw pressed steel. Then seasoned.

    Very good price, great pan. I think this is the one I have. Make sure you season it well (various guides online) and it won’t stick, and you won’t be eating teflon with your meals.

    • This is not cast iron (title is wrong), it’s raw pressed steel.

      Any tips for someone who doesn't know the practical difference?

        Mostly weight. These are lighter and will heat quicker, but it has most of the same characteristics of iron. The trick is to season well and never clean it in the dishwasher or scrub heavily with soapy steel wool. A light wash out with mild soapy water is all you should need. If something is really stuck on use a stainless steel chainmail scrubber to shift it.

        Unlike cast iron, these will warp if they get too hot. I bought some years ago when they claimed they could be treated like cast iron only to find one warped when I preheated like I do cast iron. Was told that the warranty doesn't cover "over heating".

        Have just checked the description and they are still claiming…

        "AUS-ION pans are half the weight of cast iron and even more durable."

        I still use them for lower temp cooking but don't believe claims they can be used in the same way as cast iron or are more durable than cast iron.

        • +2

          Ive used mine on gas burners, in the oven and on the campfire, never had any issues with warping going on like 4 years now

        • yeah they've had a few complaints about their marketing, I've also got their stainless pans, decent pans but yeah I've heard a few stories about it being all brand name (i.e it's just some steel from china that they press and have huge margin of mark up on)

    • +1

      It's wrought iron. Corrections should be correct.

      • My point was that is not cast, which would otherwise mean a much heavier and thicker pan. I’ve got both and the cast iron is much heavier than my other pan that is made of steel and somehow shaped into a pan shape via a wrought/pressed/forged/shaped/moved/bent/whatever method.

      • +1

        If anyone is curious like I was: I just checked, and apparently wrought iron is basically the same as carbon steel

    • +3

      "100% made in Australia. Wrought from a solid sheet of 3mm thick Australian iron, there are no joins, screws or rivets."

      Pressed iron as opposed to wrought iron by the looks of it.

    • +3

      you won’t be eating teflon with your meals.

      The harm caused by oil smoke entering the lungs is also very serious. Non-stick pans are safe as long as their temperature does not exceed 260°C. However, using cast iron pans requires frequent kitchen cleaning (if it's an open kitchen, it's even worse) and regular seasoning of the pan, which might not be worth the effort.

      Shit thats all thats in my will, a collection of pans.

  • Make sure you take the batteries out of your smoke alarms

    • And clean the range hood every week.

    • Wait wut?

      Why would these smoke up more than other pans?

      • +2

        It tolerates higher temperatures so you are more likely to heat well and sear your food properly.

        • Ah no worries, I thought smoking up was a 'feature'. :)

          Either way they are OOS anyway, I might pop in to the local Myers JIC.

      • -1

        You won’t, there’s no reason why someone would change their cooking heating just because of a change in pan material.

    • +2

      Use it outside on a wok burner Viet style.

    • And beware of Haemochromatosis

  • "Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver your items due to insufficient stock."

    • Click and Collect worked. Ugh! Miranda Fair

  • No stock in SA and no delivery, great deal but no luck

  • not working?

  • I thought the discount on the solidteknics pan was a price error??!

  • +2

    Not sure I understand the full value in this. I use a Scanpan stainless pan (like this https://www.myer.com.au/p/scanpan-impact-28cm-fry-pan-908154…), which when used properly (heated to the right temp before adding food), is basically non-stick, doesn't need seasoning, is dishwasher friendly, and is a quarter of the price of the Solidteknics.

    On the other hand, the rivets are a little loose, but never going to fail completely IMO. Scanpan would repair/replace if I could be bothered with a warranty claim.

    Maybe I'm missing something?

      Stainless steel pan is a pain to cook with…

    • +2

      Both are good products and will perform well when used properly. I use a Solidteknics mostly for things like eggs, shallow oil fry, dry fry, and mushrooms as long as I’m not using lemon - acidic foods (citrus, tomato, anything with vinegar) will strip the seasoning and you need to do a good re-season of it after. Everything else is done in a different pan.

    • Where are Scanpans made? That might have something to do with it. But also Solidteknics have priced their stuff at the mid-high end, and are a much smaller brand with less market than Scanpan.

      I’ve found stainless to be much stickier than raw steel because it never gets a seasoning coating like raw steel does. But sounds like you have it worked out anyway. The dishwasher ability is a definite plus.

    • No. I grabbed one of the Lodge cast pans and I've literally used it once. Heavy AF (Which I kinda like) but just don't see the value / use in it. Always looks and feels dirty. *As you don't really clean them).
      I guess I should "practice" with it more as my food didn't come out anywhere near as nice than with my standard pans

    • +4

      I find that you need more oil when using a stainless pan, with carbon steel once you have a nice seasoning you can even cook eggs without oil. Another benefit is when you want to cook stuff on low heat to begin, with stainless you need to get it quite hot to begin so once you add in eggs or pancake batter it will start to brown.
      I agree that stainless is much more versatile and should be the 1st pan anyone gets, but try a carbon for your 2nd or 3rd pan.

      • fair point

  • Dissapointed to miss out. Out of Stock.

    • the Myer stock is thinner than their other range , hence Myer exclusive, and cheaper, and probably why myer are getting rid of it. Still great value but just need to remember Solidninetics make a range of products and look at the thickness when comparing to cast iron which is thicker or other brands made from sheet steel.

      • Looks like the lightning range is even better, lighter and better performance

  • Damn missed both, good score for thise that ordered

  • Can anyone recommend a good set of pots and pans for induction?

    We are ditching the gas and need a whole new set. Im looking for a set that will last a lifetime.
    thanks

      26cm lodge cast iron
      31cm lodge cast iron
      Scanpan impact saucepans

      All have enough iron in them to induction well. Tefal/cheaper products warm up but poorly.

      • Are these any good?

        • Just be careful with “compatible” vs actually good on induction. I’ve got one pan from ikea thats reasonable.

    • +2

      for induction, If you want dishwasher safe then you are heading down the stainless path, decide if you want rivetted handles vs welded, and if you want a clad base (disc) vs triply up the sides like an allclad style, but allclad patents expired so lots are making triply type cookware for a fraction of all clad prices. Some all clad now also made in China, so don't let the china vs USA thing be an issue, this stuff isnt hi-tech

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Considering what happened last time, I just ordered immediately.
    Didn't think, just went straight into it.

  • Cue the cast iron is the best comments

    • Hahaha cue the trolls 🤣

    • Yep. I asked them to scan these in-store today and 0 discount applied.

  • Do you need a silicone cover for the handle or this one is not getting that hot?

    • +1

      I have a 26cm, and i don't find i need a silicone cover. The length of the handle plus the gap restricts the heat from my experience.

  • My click and collect order at Southland got cancelled, just some heads up if people have their hopes up 😕

    • Yep same here.

  • These guys started out with a Kickstarter in 2014 making cast Iron sauteuse pans, it's a shame they stopped with the cast iron, awesome stuff. I wish I got more of it. These look nice though.
