FAQ's

What meals are recommended for the Frying Pan Angler?
The Angler works best in reducing the fat content of greasy meats such as hamburger, sausage and bacon, which typically are used to prepare meals such as Sloppy Joe’s, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tortillas, chili, beef stroganoff, hamburgers, omelets, spaghetti sauce and Salisbury Steak. The device works particularly well in preparing loose hamburger for the many commercially available packaged dinner products that require the addition of ground beef. It can also reduce the oil content of vegetarian dishes prepared on stovetops.

Does Frying Pan Angler work with standard stovetops?
Yes, the Angler works with all standard stovetops to include gas, electric and radiant range models.

Does Frying Pan Angler work with standard frying pans?
Yes, the Angler is designed to work with standard aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron frying pans with a wide range of pan side heights, side flares and corner radii. Smaller pans than that recommended for the Angler may be used as long as the bottom of the pan contacts the entire Angler ring.

Are frying pans stable and safe on Frying Pan Angler?
Yes, the frying pan slides down into a valley on the Angler’s base and is firmly held in place by two restraining tabs attached to the ring. The Angler’s ring also contacts the entire outside perimeter of the pan bottom to help insure stability, even if the pan bottom is warped (since a warped pan will wobble on a flat surface).

Does food cook evenly when using Frying Pan Angler?
Yes, testing has shown the Angler cooks food evenly when using the recommended size frying pans. The Angler’s ring helps provide even heating by acting as a chimney to direct heat against the pan bottom.

Is cooking time increased when using Frying Pan Angler?
Yes, there is a slight increase in cooking time with the angler. For example, the 5 minutes generally required to cook a pound of hamburger will increase to approximately 6 minutes.

How does Frying Pan Angler compare to diet and exercise programs?
The Angler provides a simple means for weight loss, since it easily lowers the calorie content of standard meals. In contrast, most diet and exercise programs require special foods and/or a change in lifestyle.
