The \u003cstrong\u003egranite cooking surface\u003c\/strong\u003e lets you fry with far less oil and makes washing up quick, which is a real gain on busy weekday mornings. Because it is \u003cstrong\u003eheavy gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e, the base is thick enough to hold heat steadily and resist warping, so you get even browning instead of a burnt middle and pale edges. At \u003cstrong\u003e26cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is the most useful all-round size: big enough for two or three eggs or a full chapati, small enough to heat quickly on a single burner. The \u003cstrong\u003ewooden handle\u003c\/strong\u003e stays cooler and more comfortable to grip than bare metal and gives the pan a warm, natural look. It suits students, young families and anyone replacing a tired pan whose surface has worn out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGranite cooking surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWooden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make a granite pan last, treat the surface kindly. Cook on low to medium heat; non-stick surfaces do not need high heat and can be damaged by it, especially when the pan is empty. Use wooden or silicone utensils rather than metal, and avoid cutting food in the pan. Let it cool before washing, then clean with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, never steel wool. Keep the wooden handle out of long soaks and dry it straight away to stop the wood cracking. Check that it suits your cooker before buying: it is ideal for gas, but the supplier does not state induction compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with a plain aluminium or steel frying pan, a granite pan needs less oil and is much easier to clean, which makes it better for eggs and pancakes. Compared with cast iron, it is lighter and needs no seasoning, though it should be kept on gentler heat and away from metal utensils to keep the surface at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need oil with a granite pan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly a little. The granite surface lets food release easily, so a light brush of oil is enough for most cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use metal spatulas?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is best to use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the granite surface and keep it non-stick for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work on induction?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe supplier does not state induction compatibility. It works well on gas; ask us to confirm before ordering for an induction hob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you deliver outside Nairobi?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — same-day delivery within Nairobi and countrywide shipping to Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and beyond, with payment by M-Pesa or on delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable at WIMU Kitchen, Nairobi.\u003c\/strong\u003e Same-day Nairobi delivery · countrywide shipping (Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret) · pay by M-Pesa or on delivery.
