NON STICK FRYING PANS

Mt61

After watching the film “Dark water” I chucked my non stick pan, then panicked because I couldn’t find one without Teflon. In the end got a good, heavy pan at homesense, no coating of any kind, nothing really sticks, unless I have the heat up too high.

I just bought two non-stick saucepans at Homesense - Scoville.
My saucepan set is stainless steel but these are for sauce, beans, reheating home-grown casserole etc.
Never bought that make previously, as yet untried.

Home-made, not home-grown.
Thanks autocorrect 😀

I'm not certain Marco Pierre White copper/stainless frying pans are still made. We've 2, used when non-stick isn't suitable. They're easy to clean.

I can’t possibly lift Le Creseut far too heavy. Planning to sell them.

I never wash my Le Creuset or non-stick in the dishwasher either, it ruins the surface and the outside finish.

We had sets of Le Creusets in our letting houses, and we politely asked guests not to wash them in the dishwasher. Not everyone listened (!!), and you're right that the bright orange colour did get ruined. Worse than that, however, was that the wooden handles started to split.

They fetch a good price even used.

I can't lift them either.

Hubby wanted a new non-stick frying pan so this evening I proved that I could fry eggs and fried bread (breakfast for dinner - yum!) in a non-stick pan that has seen better days as well as a stainless steel pan which isn't non-stick!
You just need to prepare your pan first.
Put some oil in the pans and heat on a high heat to "smoking point" then tip that oil away. After that, just add oil/butter as you normally would for whatever you are frying and it shouldn't stick! (The bottom of the S/S one may take on a golden colour where the oil forms a coating but that is fine)

Watch the film "Dark Waters" then buy yourself a good set of stainless steel pans!

That's the thing - I won't use "non stick" either or ones with aluminium in them (even if there's a top coat of some other metal or something). Health comes first, middle and last to me.

For ordinary sauce pan type purposes - then I've got stainless steel ones (ie for things that are unlikely to stick).

But hence I hunted around a fair bit to find ones that are "healthy" and won't stick - and landed up with my Ninja ones.

Try Denby ‘Cast Aluminium with Quantanium’. Mine are four months old, perform exceptionally well and show no signs of deterioration.

How heavy are they, Granpammy?
