Can anyone advise on the best size frying pan to use on the stove portion of this unit?

We use a 10" pan generally. On ours the top and sides come off and we can and do put on a larger pan/DO. A lot of times we will just put a pan on the grill and it works well. I think the maximum size would be a 12" pan/DO.

I have a set of the T-Fal pan set for my house. I use the small frying pan and pots. I also use the flat frying pan that came with the set. For the small pots and pans I just turn the flame down a little. It works great for me and my husband. I'm not sure how it would work for more than two people.

With all sides up a mess tin fits perfectly, but nothing bigger. With the left side down a small or medium frying pan. If it's not windy or you have a separate windbreak, then you can let the back and sides down to use a larger frying pan. Although you may be better to just buy the separate "Coleman Grill Stove Griddle" .

There is a slightly bigger size of that fryer that might be better for a large family. The features are the same. We love ours!

Oil pans are knee high. I wouldnt want it any higher for fear of it being knocked over. I cooked 80lbs of chicken strips at a wedding a few weeks ago. Fryer worked great and the height never bothered me.

I've used few cook pots that are about 4" or 5" in diameter. It's not too terribly large, but I was able to heat up enough food for four people within 15 minutes or so using this stove.

The flat area of this pan is not very large, and it's sides taper. In my opinion a fry pan would work better.

There are ( 3 ) size frying pans: 8", 10 1/4" and the 12". To get the correct size lid, you must measure the diameter of the pan where the lid will cover to know what size lid to order.

I personally have used up to 12" on my stove but there is an issue that the outside edge does not cook that well therefor you must put up the heat more but the center will get burnt,hope this will help you.

The 12 inch fry pan has more flared sides and will be easier for eggs and the like. The 11" saute pan is better for stews and similar items but you can cook everything, including eggs in it. Just get a spatula with a curved handle. Aside from the size, go for the one you will be using most.

I'm at work so I don't know the diameter of the element but I have used my 12" cast iron pan and it was fine. You will have areas which are hotter but I love my unit and am happy I purchased it. I use it outside so I don't get the frying smell in my home.

I routinely use a large 10 inch pan on my burners, as well as a 12 inch fry pan, so yours should work just fine

This pan is very good for many applications,but I would go with a non-stick skillet for eggs.I highly recommend the T-fal Professional Non-Stick Fry Pan, 12.5 inches for eggs as well as for any cooking where a non-stick surface is required.

I usually use an 8"x 8" pan. You can also use a 9"x 9" and just reduce the cooking time. This is a "no-fail" mix! Good luck!

I have two of these fry pans so I'm not sure which one you are asking about. Also, I not longer have the offering info so, again, I may not be of any help. The TOP of my small one is 8 1/4", the large one is 11 1/2. I think that is the usual place for measuring. Good luck.

I have found them better for my purposes. They work on an electric stove wonderfully, and once treated are great for omelets, stir fry, cooking steakes, chops, etc. The 10" is my go to pan over even my non-stick almost every time. A wok will work better for a few thing. For electric stoves, I find these better than the flat bottom wok I purchased.

I think it's all about what you're trying to cook in, rather than what you're trying to cook. If you plan to use a large skillet, that may be more trouble than it's worth. If it's a cylindrical container about the size of a Nalgene (1L), that would be ideal.

I've found out that you have to match the large fry pan with the size of the burner. Otherwise, you'll end up with a "hot spot" in the center of the pan. If you can move the food around easily, it would probably not be a problem. I have a WOLF stove at home, and use a Camp Chef 90 when camping, and both have large burner rings that will heat this large fry pan evenly. I've never used electric stoves, but other than the weight of a fully loaded pan, I don't know why it wouldn't.

This is a smaller roasting pan. I would probably look for something in the 16-17" x 13-14" range.
