KitchenCraft Home Made Maslin/Jam Pan

I wasn't sure what the quality of this pan would be like as it didn't seem that expensive compared with some others. However, I couldn't be more pleased with it. The base is nice and solid and thick enough to give great heat distribution meaning that the chance of anything sticking/burning is greatly reduced. I have an apricot tree and a greengage tree in my garden so I'm often required to make large quantities of jam. I was previously using an old, cheap pan with a converter plate for my induction hob and the difference between that setup and this new pan is unbelievable: Not only does the jam come out better due to the lack of hot spots on the bottom, but the process also takes about a third less time because the heat is getting into the jam more efficiently. The pouring lip on the edge of the pan makes filling jars with a funnel easier too. The quality is excellent, with sturdy all-metal construction and the brackets riveted to the main body; I very much doubt I'll ever need to buy another.

Excellent weight pan, good construction and size.

A good quality jam pan that makes jam-making so much easier than when I was using a large saucepan. I found the design of this pan allows more steam to escape, which reduces the liquid more than when using a conventional large saucepan, making it easier to get a good set and avoid runny jam - I found I had to reduce the amount of water in the recipe when using a saucepan, but was able to follow the recipe exactly with this pan, with great results. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this product again as it seems to give a good balance between quality and price, so I think it's ideal for the seasonal/occasional jam and preserve maker, which I think most cooks probably are.

We do a lot of preserving so this pan is going to have to stand up to regular use. First off pan seems solid and functional, was weary of getting very thin steel walls, but it all seems up to spec. For thirty odd pounds it is worth it. Only bad point is that the ink transfer on the inside (yes that’s not etched onto the steel) that gives volumes is about 10-15% out of accuracy. So is useless, plus the ink smudges if you push you’re thumb over it.. hoping that it’s not a toxic ink.. I scrubbed it in hot soapy water but it still smudges. Perhaps it needs a solvent to shift it. Don’t want an unstable ink/marker getting into my preserves! Quite frankly could have done with a volume measure, as everything is weighed anyway. Hence the dropping of a star rating.

I have made marmalade and jams for years, coping with large pans, le creuset and others - I had no idea that the right pan would make such a huge difference. Making marmalade in this pan was a revelation. It is really good quality, heavy bottomed, quality steel pan - easy to use, easy to clean - and the process is much quicker because instead of inappropriate ceramic or coated pots, the direct heat works better through the quality steel. I am so happy I bought this, only wish I had done so years ago!

Couldn’t be happier with this pan! Looks good, works great on my induction hob. Sturdy too and a perfect size for my ten pound ham! And the price knocked it out of the park! Arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. Literally saved my bacon!

Used on quite a few occasions this year to make various jams. They pan fits our induction hop nicely. The metal handle surprisingly didn't get hot when using and the pan cleans really well.

2nd one purchased as gift for friend good quality at a reasonable price.

Tiene una buena capacidad y se le ve robusto y bien acabado. Perfecto si se hacen grandes cantidades de mermeladas.

Perfekt när man ska koka stora mängder sylt, saft eller när man ska pastörisera äppeldricka. Graderingen innuti så man inte behöver mäta innan. Lätt att hälla ur tackvare handtagen och pipen så det inte skvätter omkring.

Au top ! Reçue ce jour, j'avais 12 kg de fruits à faire en confiture, nous produisons une centaine de pots par année ... j'ai d'abord cuis des pêches, j'avais, avec le sucre, environ 5 kg, cuisson au top, nickel ! ensuite, avec sucre comprit, j'ai préparé des nectarines, aux alentours de 7,5 kg et là encore, parfait ! une cuisson homogène, rapide, pas de débordement du fait que le haut de la casserole part vers l'extérieur, anse et poignée vraiment pratiques, et l'embout légèrement pointé pour verser facilement dans les pots je recommande vraiment cette casserole, tellement pratique, je ne saurais plus m'en passer ! une très grande contenance, facile à nettoyer, bref, impeccable !

This pot tells you exactly how much you will get as the measurements are labeled on the inside. The handle does not get hot. Fluids pour very nicely into the jars (we did tomato juice). This pot is well worth the money.

I discovered this jam pan on a YouTube channel Red Rose Homestead that in my opinion is an expert canning instructor . She uses this pan so since I have about a 100 pounds of pears and plums to can I ordered it. It took some time to get here because I think it is from the UK. It was extremely well packed. It is an excellent pan. Pour spout, a movable handle and side handle. The pan design is wider at the top than the bottom really helps with making jams for cooking products down. This pan could be used for many things not just jam. Stainless steel and heavy weight---this is not a cheap flimsy pan. Note it doesn't come with a lid ( you don't need lid for example doing jam/jelly) but probably one you have could fit down into it if you needed a lid. Highly recommend this pan. I was lucky and got it on sale but is worth the full price but I love a sale!
