steve_b_wales Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 We've just had a £600+ electric oven installed. The customer brochure stated: 'You may want to purchase a grill pan handle as an optional extra'. I'd say it was a necessity to remove/insert the pan. You'd think for the price, one would be included. I checked on their website and one could be bought for £13:95 + pp. It's just a piece of bent/shaped metal bar!

Mike737 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 To be fair, I never use our grill pan handle, by the time you've faffed about slotting it on, and then sliding it along to the middle, it's quicker and easier to just quickly pull the shelf forward and lift the bacon off with the tongs... Look at it as having saved £13.95 + p & p Steve Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you saw what happens when I grill food, you would need Mole Grips to get it off the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph5172 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 We got them to throw in the grill pan handle and i said take the oven back to stock as i am not being rinsed for a handle after spending a fortune on an oven - its sat on the rail above the oven for 10 years now...... we just use a tea towel - i would be really miffed if i had paid the extra £20 odd!!

Dougy Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Surly your Mrs should check this sort of stuff out BEFORE she buys it. It's her problem tell her to sort it. I don't know, what's happening to you all. Tut tut tut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just sat waiting for the fitter to come and install a new oven and hob, now pondering if we get a grill pan handle. Is a cheek not including one though, bit like buying a gun with no trigger. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I had the same reservations some years ago when we got a 600 quid oven sans pan handle. Within days I realised the oven mitt was fine and until now never thought about it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Our oven came with a grill pan with a handle that wasn't screwed on. If you screw it on the plastic handle burns/melts sooner or later as the handle ends up too near the element and the pan is difficult to stow in the oven when not in use. If you use it unscrewed the handle is so loose it's dangerous, it would be easy for the whole red hot pan to slide off the handle if not held exactly horizontally (we've tested this cold). So, we've never used the handle, simple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
