Folks, I was at W-S today looking at some of these:  And what I'm wondering is, how does this actually work? I mean, when you flipped it, the top pan would be cold, wouldn't it? Which would mean that it wouldn't brown the frittata/tortilla on top, which would also stick. Anyone used one of these? |

I've never used one Josh, but it looks like they come unhinged easily and you could heat the empty one on a burner, attach it and flip....but I don't know why, since it is easy to use an empty plate to flip a frittata ilene |

Ilene, I make fritattas, tortillas, etc. less than I otherwise would because I find the flipping a pain. If I was a real pro like Amy I'd just flip it in the air, of course. |

I just put a dinner plate on top of the pan, flip the pan over (fritatta is now on dinner plate) and slide fritatta back into pan....seems easy to me. But I think this pan would work for you, as long as you heated the empty side, re-hinged it and flipped it. It might be worth it if you plan to use it enough....and, unhinged, you have two nice saute pans. |

Ilene, The problem is that I'm generally making 11" fritattas. So that's a little awkward ... the pan is heavy for one hand, and I have to use a serving plate. If I made more modest-sized ones, I suppose it would be easier ... |

My parents used to have an omelet pan that hinged in the middle, like folding a normal pan in half. It was a cheap thing but worked great so I imagine this would too. I also use the plate method and find it awkward and would probably also be tempted. It would also be good for rösti. Mary PS who am I kidding, they probably still have the pan. Last time I was home I threw out some potpourri my mom had in the bathroom because it was mine from before I left the States in 1989. |
