The cast-iron frying pan impresses in the practical test with its high-quality workmanship and versatility. The pan ensures even heat distribution and excellent heat retention on induction and gas hobs as well as when used over an open fire. With a weight of approx. 3.6 kg, it offers a stable base, which is particularly advantageous when searing meat or slowly cooking stews and sauces. The pan stays reliably hot and ensures even results with every cooking process. The leather handles, which are simply slipped over the hot edges, offer a practical way of moving or carrying the pan safely, even at high temperatures. This is particularly useful when the pan is still hot. The all cast-iron construction guarantees a long service life and allows the pan to be used in the oven, making it even more flexible. The only disadvantage in the test was cleaning the pan. Like all cast iron pans, the THOR pan should only be cleaned with water and without detergent to preserve the patina. After cleaning, the pan must be rubbed with a little oil to protect it from rust. Although this is more time-consuming than with other pans, it is a typical step in the care of cast iron products. The advantage of this care is that the pan retains its longevity and heat resistance. The cleaning brush included in the set helps to clean the pan thoroughly without much effort .

Overall, the cast iron pan offers a robust design, even heat distribution and a wide range of uses. Cleaning is a little more time-consuming, but if you take the time to look after it, you will be rewarded with a durable and reliable pan that looks good in any kitchen.
