“Can you make me a big pan?” asked Henry.
What a whopper
“Can you make me a big pan?” asked Henry.
“Of course,” we said “would our 14” prospector pan fit the bill?”
“Er, no, I was thinking MUCH bigger than that!”
“Leave it with us” we replied and got to work.
That, in essence, is the conversation we had with Bristol based chef, Henry Eldon in the run up to this year’s Valley Fest.
Henry was scheduled to demonstrate his live fire cooking skills at the festival by creating enough bouillabaisse for 50 - 60 people.
Our standard 14” prospector pan, which we had hitherto thought of as the big boy of the range, is big enough for 10 - 12 people.
That meant we needed something about 5 times the size. Double checking our πr² calculations, we reckoned that THIS should do it.
A 33” prospector pan, without a doubt the biggest pan we have ever made.
Henry is delighted with his record breaking pan and we can’t wait to see it in action.
And if you are planning on cooking for a crowd, you’re in luck, as we made some extra ones.
