Make your life easier...

Of course, not all pans are equal, and a cheap frying pan (such as the one I purchased for around $4) is much, much easier to roll up than a Teflon one.
For the purpose of showing off to your friends however, it looks and sounds almost identical.

The question remains: what do you do with your eggs afterwards?

When i first read the title i though you where making a roll up frying pan, like a roll up keyboard and such XD

[lemonie]

Yes, aluminium can be quite soft.
How far did you get with the Tefal?

[sam noyoun]

Man, I didn't even try... My wife would kill me if I did that to our tefal frying pans... (in fact, she'd probably use the rolled up pan to beat me to death!)

[bob.smitty]

which is, incidentally, another good use for a rolled up pan: husband training tool.

Laugh out loud :P

[qualia]

screw that, how far did you get with CAST IRON!! lol

[royalestel]

Hehheh.

[lemonie]

I can see it in a news article. Probably something on Ananova where the victim is from Eastern Europe... Who knows, some husband may see this Instructable and it'll be the death of him? L (Have that on your conscience!)

[RickO5]

That would be impossible with an old, decent frying pan. All of mine are more than 15 pounds, those look like they're about 2 pounds.

[sam noyoun]

Errr.... no. That would be much harder, but not impossible. As I wrote, this is one of the classic tricks of the strongman, and it's been done many a time with cast iron pans.

[RickO5]

I've got cast iron pans in my house a 5 pound sledge won't dent. I still stick by my thought. 15 pound cast iron pan = not going to be bent by human hands.

[jridley]

I'd like to see that, especially since cast iron doesn't bend, it breaks. I bet they had some fake fry pans that looked real and felt real, but were made from malleable steel instead of cast iron.

[jaadmc]

cast iron pans?????? come on....really???why didnt you do a cast iron pan?????next time maybe?

[eriklares]

hehehe, i'd like to see you do that with a cast-iron skillet.

[blodefood]

Interesting use of teflon pans now that they have fallen out of favour due to chemical leeching into food. Don't you dare do this with a stainless steel pan! Season it properly and your food won't stick

[Mr.Donkey]

Great trick. Tried with an old teflon pan that my former flatmate trashed, and that I've never got thrown out.. It took a few attempts and rewatching the movie twice. Found that the hardest part is getting started, ie., doing the first roll. The trick that did it for me was curling my body a bit using the abs and the shoulders to get the right momentum. Btw, the pan's 15cm in diameter and weights 1.1 kg.

[SeaLion]

Can you unroll it afterwards and use the pan again?

[sam noyoun]

no

[SeaLion]

So...wait...you actually went and bought a snazzy teflon pan and rolled it up!!!?????...someone's rich...lol

[sam noyoun]

there was nothing snazzy about that pan... and it was very cheap.

[SeaLion]

Teflon hot spot one isn't snazzy?! O-o...This is very disturbing...

[sam noyoun]

you'll notice i didn't roll up the teflon one though ;-)

[whiteoakart]

"The question remains: what do you do with your eggs afterwards?" Isn't this how people make omelettes?

[waterbottledestroyer]

do you go to white oak middle school

[whiteoakart]

Nope. It is just the name of our business. We are located in the middle of a stand of white oak trees.

[sam noyoun]

Drive to Death Valley and fry them on the bonnet of your car?

[Loveofchaos]

bonnet?? are you european, i thought the bonnet thing was just a joke! if it is... good one, if it aint, thats funny man.

[sam noyoun]

I am european, yea, but I actually tried it... and it didn't work for me. What a good instructable that would make though...

[bob.smitty]

never cooked on the bonnet of the car, but i've cooked on the exhaust manifold more than once...

[Tobita]

Haha, i lived in Riyadh, so i would sometimes cook cookies on the hood of my dad's car with my friends, and once it left traces on the hood, so i was grounded

[Bas]

what do i do if i have a cabriolet? :'(

[Tobita]

well, it would help if you could tell me what cabriolet is.

[bob.smitty]

a convertible... it follows that Bas should do... the same thing (?)

[Bas]

Its a car with no ceiling (:

[bob.smitty]

ceiling on a car? a car has a roof or a top, but not a ceiling.

[Bas]

I love the "be nice" comment policy, makes this place different than a forum (:
When you drive your convertible with the top down, its a cabriolet

[Tobita]

oh, because i always thought the hood of a car is the panel on the front of the car:P

[whiteoakart]

That would work, but there would be an awful lot of sand mixed in. Perhaps wind-blown salt from the salt flat would add a little zip to it. However, I was thinking that now that your pan is rolled into a tube, it would make cooking omelettes easier. Just pour in your eggs and shake it up a bit. Presto, a tube-shaped egg thing, ready to be filled with cheese and mushrooms!
