Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

We have a metal all-clad pan that I really like. It's going on 10+ years of service. The handle doesn't get hot where you are supposed to grip it as long as the burner is the right size for the pan base. I've never needed to use a mitt or towel except for taking it out of the oven.

It will get warmer if your flame is coming over the sides when the burner is too big. It's also hot where it joins the pan, but I don't grab it there. :)

The heat conduction might depend on the brand, too. All-clad and de buyer are pretty heavy duty pans.

Thanks for the tip! I ended up getting a scanpan one from Briscoes. Hopefully it does the job!

Most of them seem to have thin attachment points and a reasonably thin handle which I presume is to help with heat dissipation so it makes sense it is hotter towards the pan but cool at the other end.
