THINK you’ve seen all the latest innovations for the kitchen? Roll over.
A new frying pan aims to solve that eternal problem of unevenly cooked sausages.
Until now, it’s been hard to get the bangers to have an all-over tan, as their cylindrical shape means they keep rolling.
But a Berkshire man has solved the vexing problem – and the result goes on sale at Hare Hatch Sheeplands this Saturday.
The Sizzll is a unique pan made of vitreous enamel, with low sides and ridges to prevent the sausages cooking in their own fat. And it’s easy clean too: it can fit in dishwashers or soak for five minutes and the mess washes away.
Rupert Scott, who has a patent pending for the Sizzll, said: “My story begins 14 or 15 years ago when I had a desire to make something.
“I do like challenges but If you want to invent something then first you need to look for a problem that needs solving. And I discovered that people were having trouble finding a frying pan that stopped sausages rolling around while they were cooking.”
The result is ready for you to try.
Said Mr Scott: “The sausages are raised up and any fat that comes out during the cooking process drains to two long collection areas below the sausages: It’s a vast improvement on baking in a flat pan.
“When baking, the sausages are cooked much more evenly because of the shape of the pan: the sides are very low and the sausages are raised up out of the fat, which means that the heat moves around the sausages more evenly.”
