My old frying pan has seen better days and I have just reserved a new one from Argos. It is a 24cm one which has been reduced fron £10 to £5. However before I go out to pick it up (for pancakes tonight) can anyone tell me if the 24cm is measured across the top of the pan or across the base? Because if its across the top them I think it will be too small fpr paancakes because the base will be much smaller IYSWIM?
