Ends this Sunday. Not sure why no one has posted it.
C&C only available in VIC

Spotlight is the only store that stock Tefal made in France non stick saucepan other than Amazon
the ones in TGG/BigW/Myer are made in China, a big NO

Tefal plays marketing tricks when it comes to where the pan is made
If you see the French flag on the package, that's great
Otherwise, when it tells you nothing, no flags no words at all, it's always made in China, second grade product
you may want to check the bottom of the pan
it shows made in France if it is

An example of bargain: this made in France 4 Piece Saucepan Set is cheaper than Amazon

      I've had a couple of Tefals go bad over the years and tossed them. I didn't know about this difference, but the only Tefal left that is still going strong is a France one, go figure (just checked lol).

        I don't think it makes a difference. I've been through a couple of Made In France frying pans.

  • Homr on 25/09/2020 - 19:24

    Can anyone recommend a good wok for Cantonese stir fry dishes which can produce "wok air"?

    Is there any tefel fry pans that are good for steaks?

    Thanks.

    • TanedaR on 25/09/2020 - 19:31

      definitely not a non stick pan
      non stick is only suitable for 200-220C
      too weak for a Cantonese cook
      the non stick coating is harmful to human body under the use of excessive heat

      • Homr on 25/09/2020 - 19:33

        ahhh thanks, that's great to know

        What are non stick pan good for then?

        • Ezuku on 25/09/2020 - 23:51

          Cooking at lower heat generally. With the exception of stir fry, many foods should be cooked with medium heat.

          For stir fry you generally use a cast iron wok (high thermal mass) if you're trying to be as authentic as possible. That said, it's very hard to get good wok hei at home anyway, as without a commercial setup it is hard to get the wok hot enough.

          Alternatively you could use non stick, small batches, medium heat etc, if you're just after a "good enough" result.

        • Franckel on 26/09/2020 - 02:25

          Eggs (fried, scrambled, omelettes etc.), fish, pancakes, crepes. Bacon and sausages are ok. They are not good at browning raw meat.

      • kzrocky on 25/09/2020 - 20:05

        Wrong information.

        Non-stick pans are not proven to be harmful to humans.
        PFOA, yes it is a carcogen, but so is alcohol, smoke, red meat, bbq food, even the air you breathe.

        Teflon, there is no proof that its harmful, and even then the amount in pans are minimal.
        break down after 300C

          Food contact with Teflon is fine, eating Teflon is bad, thus if it's flaking off you have to get rid of the pan.

        • Ezuku on 25/09/2020 - 23:53

          Cooking with teflon at high heat does however damage the coating and its non stick properties. Damaging cookware in Chinese culture is an unforgivable sin.

          They use Teflon for some surgical implants, it's non reactive …. If you eat it you poop it out …..you can't digest it ….

      You can’t really get wok hei in most western home kitchens. Even the “wok burners” on virtually all gas cooktops don’t get hot enough. If you’re serious about getting wok hei, one solution I highly recommend is a separate outdoor wok burner that hooks up to a gas bottle. I have one of these and it’s awesome.

      If that’s too full on for you, get a flat bottom carbon steel wok and cook on the hottest burner you have in small batches. You can still make decent Asian stir fries, but you’ll only get a tiny hint of wok hei.

      • Homr on 26/09/2020 - 00:37

        so its not possible to get wok hei even if on a gas stove at home??

        • TanedaR on 26/09/2020 - 00:52

          No Imo, the stove is not strong enough
          You will need something like this

        • Franckel on 26/09/2020 - 02:11
          +1

          I’ve seen videos on YouTube where a blowtorch is used to apply a direct flame to the top of the wok. The whole video (the whole channel, really) is very informative, but the key part starts at 8 minutes. That trick would definitely help, although I’ve never tried it myself.

          But yeah, other than that, you’re not getting much wok hei at home. Only if your gas stove is extremely powerful, like a restaurant stove or the absolute best consumer stoves.

          • Homr on 26/09/2020 - 02:14

            @Franckel: oh wow that pretty awesome. I didn't know wok hei is generated by tossing the food over the flame, I thought it came from the wok itself haha.

            Thanks for sharing, btw do you know what type of wok is that on video?

            • Franckel on 26/09/2020 - 02:32

              @Homr: I don’t. Nearly all of my woks have been unbranded, bought in person at an Asian store. They are much cheaper and I can inspect the wok and find what I’m looking for.

              And yes, wok hei is generated by oil and bits of food burning and vaporising. With a wok burner, food is tossed over the high flame, which instantly ignites the oil. Normal gas burners aren’t hot enough and their flame isn’t tall enough for this to consistently occur.

        What makes the french made ones better? If they are the same product, the manufacturing process should be the same

        • TanedaR on 25/09/2020 - 19:38

          They don't make the same product. Different product lines

          • bmerigan on 25/09/2020 - 22:16

            @TanedaR: What does this mean?
            If I want a particular product are you saying I don't get to choose the country of manufacture? In which case, I don't understand the point of this post.

    • 4agte on 25/09/2020 - 23:20

      Probably not. All non sticks need do be replaced overtime. Expensive non sticks just cost more money to replace. They all become damaged and people have a bad habits of continuing to use them in poor states

      • sanur on 25/09/2020 - 23:24

        My tefal warped after a few months, now the bottom doesn't sit flush on the stove top.

        • 4agte on 25/09/2020 - 23:33

          They are fans of heat and unfortunately prone to warping. I still use them for eggs and delicate meats but stick to stainless steel for most of my cooking.

    The best ones are the naked chef ones but they rarely go on sale..

    I dont usually use non stick but I need one to cook pancakes. the stainless steel pans killed the pancakes

  • fatty on 26/09/2020 - 19:52

    Thanks to the OP and @Maxx Power for inspiring me to pick up some non-stick frypans. Acquired 3:

    Tefal Sensation Red Aluminium 32cm Frypan $29.95 (was $79.95)
    https://www.harrisscarfe.com.au/Categories/Kitchen-%26-Dinin…
    Almost worthy of a dedicated deal listing.

    Baccarat iD3 Hard Anodised 16cm Frypan $19.99 (was $79.99)
    https://www.robinskitchen.com.au/baccarat-id3-hard-anodised-…
    I actually picked it up from House for $19.99 https://www.house.com.au/baccarat-id3-hard-anodised-frypan-1…

    Tefal Gourmet Anodised 26cm Frypan $35.95
    https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/tefal-gourmet-anodised-26cm-f…

    I was intending to get the Anodised 26cm from Harris Scarfe ($39.97) as I prefer this size over the 30cm one from Amazon ($43.64) that @Maxx Power posted. I was also going to also pick up the ID3 16cm because it's such a bargain. The Anodised 26cm wasn't in stock at my local store however I did find that Sensation 32cm so picked that up, for the occasional use of a large pan it's fine and as a good of a bargain as they come. I then went to Robins KItchen - they didn't have the ID3 16cm in stock and the larger sizes weren't as much of a bargain as the 16cm, nor that attractive compared to the Anodised. Fortunately House had the ID3 in stock. Ordered the Anodised 26cm when I arrived home which will be sent from a store across town.

    Don't forget your cash-backs.
