brom Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Those who liked the Double Skillet for motorhome cooking might like to know it is now available from; The Double Skillet Pan Company, Unit 10, Waverlodge Business park, Waverledge Street, Great Harwood, Lancashire BB6 7LS. www.thedoubleskilletpancompany.com The Missus loved our old one, but after many years of use, the Non-Stick surface was wearing away. She's very chuffed to be able to source a replacement - although at the moment they are only producing the smaller size. The skillet arrived very quickly, and customer service appears to be good.

Cattwg Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thank you for the information. Ours is, after much use, showing signs of wear so my wife will be interested. Cattwg. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobalobs Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Interesting as I can not open the site of the Double Skillet Pan Co in Lancashire whilst no difficulty with the site of the original suppliers now based in Kent trading under Double Skillet.

Tony Jones Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Interested in this for our new flat in France, which only has two electric rings and no oven! Can those who've had these tell me about the thickness and quality of the metal? Would it cope withth regular HOME use, as opposed to holidays in the van? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brom Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hello Tony Whilst the double skillet is wonderful for camping I don't think it comes into full home use category. It isn't heavy duty enough - but when camping, of course, you are usually after something lightweight. At home I am a great one-pot cooker and find either a large Berndez or Woll saute pan with lid (they also have removable handles), totally excellent for nearly everything. Ours is used virtually every day. If you have no oven, I'd suggest one of these, and perhaps a multi-layer steamer/pan for the other ring. And if you wish to roast or bake, a sort of Dutch Oven will sit on a ring and work fine - in the same way as the double skillet does in a motorhome. All hob cooking works better on gas as it is more adjustable and controllable than electric hobs - but if you have electricity, then that is what you have. Perhaps one of these single burner camping stoves might come in handy as an adjunct to your facilities? We also have a stove-top baked potato 'pan' which is designed to fit over a gas burner - and you can also heat pies/bread rolls in it. Sorry to go on - just a few thoughts. Good luck, Rona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeti Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I bought our DS about 25 years ago and it was used at least twice a day,and it lasted well and was still serviceable up until the van was nicked with the DS in it. I also bought the egg poacher with it at the same time,need one of those as well,keep looking out for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Mike Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 While we are talking Skillet - My wife likes her toast, We do most of our camping off hook so of course the toaster is inoperative, we have 3 burner gas hob and a cadac safari (for warm weather use). We bought a device which is essentially a wire structure which sits over a burner, - the toast actually caught fire at the bottom and didn't cook at the top - and set the smoke alarm off, decided that this gadget probably wasn't the best idea, - Yes we were taking care *-) . What is the recommended (and reasonably safe) method of preparing toast in a motorhome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The best 'on flame' toatser is one called the Campatoast from Silvicamp. It is usually available at shows for about £10. http://www.camp-a-toaster.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
