NON STICK FRYING PANS

I bought Procook granite, pricey, unfortunately I will not be recommending them. They are still nonstick after two/three years but they have discoloured. I was told that it was because I am cooking on a high heat.

Another vote for Ninja pans. I've got a frying pan and an omelette pan from them and both of them have proven to be non-stick - and that's without using any oil with them (as I try to avoid oil as far as I can - because of the calories).

So - yep...I just use them as is usually, ie just plonk the food I'm sauteing straight in them. They're not a bother to clean either - as I just give them a quick rinse under the tap and that softens any odd little bits of food that have actually stuck there and I can just plonk them in the washing-up and wipe off in the bowl with the dishcloth.

I’ve spent a fortune on non-stick pans over the years. I still need to buy a new one every six months! Now I just go to TK Maxx and feel them all till I find one that is comfy for me to hold.

Ikea Hemkost if you need non stick and brilliant on induction hob. www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/hemkomst-frying-pan-stainless-steel-non-stick-coating-80580095/

I recently bought a ninja frying pan directly from Ninja and so far so good.

Ninja non stick frying pans are amazing and much lighter than my le Creuset ones which, to be honest, I don’t recommend and would never buy again. I have a Ninja wok and a Ninja small frying pan and I’m very pleased with them.

Bergholt. I.have one. Will get more. Clean.easily though no coating just stainless steel. Should last forever. Easiglide, speckled, have been very good. I have a designated scrambled egg saucepan, soak it and the egg left floats off. Their frying pans last a good long time.

Had Le Creuset one, too heavy now I have one from M&S not too expensive but I'm happy to bin it when it fails.

Needed to replace two frying pans last year. Bought a Ninja to replace the smaller one which I use the most. Love it. Will go for the same make when I get round to larger one.

Try seasoning the pan. Put it on the burner, and allow it to get hot, then put sea salt in it and stir. Allow to cool, and remove the salt. Also, when cooking, first heat the pan, then add the food, then add some oil.

I had pro cook but noticed that the non stick was coming off the edges, I binned them and found the old circulon frying pan that I had put by in case it was needed for uni. That circulon pan is doing very well, I only ever hand wash and it is still a good non stick, after all the years of use, with no damage to the non stick

I did use my le creuset shallow casserole for a while but food stuck and I gave up

I also used cast iron for a while but the seasoned coating that I put on was useless as I needed to wash the pan with washing up liquid

I would highly recommend Intignis pans. Nothing ever sticks, ever. They seem to be indestructible and, the reason I bought the first casserole dish with lid, was my arthritis stopped me lifting my old cast iron pans. These are aluminium and honestly, they are so non stick, a paper towel wipe cleans them. I do put them in the dishwasher though.

I've got a Stellar ordinary (not non-stick) stainless steel pan, never use it but am so reluctant to get rid of if.

The best pan I had for pancakes was an ordinary aluminium pan, Swan I think, not non-stick. It never stuck and i kept it just for pancakes but DH threw it out because he thought it was old and it was aluminium.
He nearly didn't get pancakes that year. 🥞

I have a pro cook stainless steel saute pan, with lid. Use it on induction hob, bring it up to heat, then turn right down, retains heat, doesn't stick. Give yours a try you might be surprised!

I will try it again, used to use it a lot.
We have a gas hob (as yet untested!).

Judge saucepans are excellent, and are very long lasting.

I have a very good one bought in Lakeland, quite expensive but so far it's been true to its description unlike the cheaper ones bought from the Midl of Lidl

I’ve bought different expensive pans, and very cheap ones, and TBH I’ve found very little difference - in fact the best I ever had was a cheapie from Asda.

John Lewis’s own brand are very good.

My Le Creuset pans are just too heavy, so rarely used.

Like escaped I have Le Creuset frying/ omelette pans. They have been going strong since the 1970s. I suppose they aren't technically non-stick (?) ... but they don't stick.

I do use a little butter or oil though - I don't entirely "dry-cook" in them.

I am another fan of Tefal. I don't wash them, up I wipe them out with a damp cloth and 4 years on do not stick. I also fell for the ceramic ones which do stick. They are now in the garage awaiting a new home.

I agree with Jaxjacky and spottybook about Jamie Oliver frying pans. They last for ages.
I like my Le Creuset ones too because they withstand me scraping the coating with metal utensils. They're also easy to clean.
My cheapy one is a Stellar, it's OK.

I bought two large oval Rick Stein frying pans from John Lewis some years ago, for fish of course. They are great but I don’t think they are made now.

We bought two Tower ceramic frying pans (cerastone) and they stick. "Superior non-stick" - bah!
Expensive waste of money.
