Hi Shed 63, These skillets operate on a very low gas setting.I am experimenting with mine at home at the moment.A joint of meat takes about 20 minutes a lb. Longer if you keep taking off the top pan to see whats happening! The secret is to trust it.The two pans one on top of the other are just like an oven but heats up faster.Ideal for heating pies etc.,and cooking chips.Toasted sarnies are delicious.The pans can be used individualy as non stick pans and there is a one glass lid that fits both pans. I have a double burner which measures 18" across and i can fit both pans side by side.I have the large size pans.Hopes this helps you.

Nearly bought one at the NEC show and hesitated over which size!  Thought there was a deal here on the website but there is not!! Will wait now until the next show and save the £6.00 postage charge.. they are not at the EXCel one so not sure when they will be next around

Thanks Tallman, that is helpful.

What is the capacity like eg can you do more than one toasted sarnie at a time or can you make enough chips for a family meal in one go?

Cheers

These are about the best buy I have ever made ..... used indoors (ceramic hob) and when camping - whether calor gas hob - double burner using campingaz or single burner with cartridge

I have both sizes, but recommend getting the larger one, even if only cooking for two - you don't have to fill the pan, but you can't make the small one bigger if extra size is needed

Shepards pie ---- cook potatoes in pan with lip - cook meat in the other pan, placed on top of potatoes and pop glass lid on ..... when cooked mash the potatoes lay over the meat, maybe pop some cheese on top and place under the grill

Sausage and chips ---- cut potaoes (peeled or unpeeled) in long chips or cubes ... put in pan with sausages - clip both pans together - shake from time to time - cooks in 30 mins ......... while dishing up cook beans in top pan or milk saucepan

For re heating pies and pizza's use a diffuser (it evens the heat all over the base of the pan  146  £6.50 in Lakeland or £1 in the pound shops and they have a folding handle

A fav with us is ...Tesco value pizza  .. lay foil on bottom of pan (makes it easier to get the pizza out when hot)  ..... place pizza in pan, top with whatever and cheese - clip pans together .... done in 8 to 10 mins ....... on low to medium heat (use diffuser)

Roast in one pan:......

Cut in extra large chunks .... pototoes, carrot, swede, parsnip, sweet potaoes, buttternut squash, turnip, peppers, onion, corgette

Clip together, place on hob a couple of mins, turn pans over (warming pans up) Spray bottom pan with oil .... place the veg in pan and spray - clip and together cook for about 10mins giving the odd shake ........ place chicken/turkey breasts or lamb/pork chops on top of veg .... clip back together and cook for another 30 mins med heat

I season with pepper - honey - maple syrup - oxo cube - rosemary BUT NOT all at once lol

The pans will cook two large sarnies side by side.

With the double skillet in oven format, what is the depth?   With a Sunday roast beef in mind, 4" does not sound adequate.   But then, does it ever?

In oven format the depth is 4".It is surprising what you con fit into that space.I have just tried a 1.6kg whole chicken(Tesco medium) and it fits ok.  Cas mentioned diffusers,these can be used on their own to toast bread directly on the hob.
