This 22cm hammered snow pan is a lightweight, single-handled sufuria made for boiling milk, brewing chai and cooking porridge, soups and sauces. Its 3-litre capacity is right for a household pot of tea or a family serving of uji. The hammered surface, the reason it is called a snow pan, increases the area in contact with heat, so liquids warm up quickly and evenly. Pouring spouts on both sides of the rim let you pour chai into flasks and cups without dribbling down the side, whether you are left- or right-handed. The long wooden handle keeps your hand well away from the heat and stays comfortable to hold, and a hanging loop at the end means it can hang on a hook near the stove. It is an everyday workhorse for any Kenyan kitchen where chai is made more than once a day.

Buying guide
A snow pan is best for liquids and soft foods: milk, chai, porridge, noodles, soups and sauces. Milk boils over quickly in any pan, so stay close and lower the heat once bubbles begin to rise around the edge. Use medium heat on gas; the light body heats fast, so very high flames are unnecessary and can scorch milk on the base. After use, soak briefly to loosen milk residue, then wash with a soft sponge. Dry the wooden handle promptly and avoid leaving it in water. If you mainly cook thick stews or fry, a heavier tri-ply pot will serve you better.
How it compares
Compared with a standard two-handled sufuria, a snow pan pours far more neatly thanks to its spouts and long handle, and the hammered surface heats liquids faster. It is lighter and less suited to long, heavy stewing than a thick stainless steel pot, but for chai, milk and porridge it is the handier choice.
