NON STICK FRYING PANS

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?

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.

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.

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

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)

I can't lift them either.

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

They fetch a good price even used.

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.

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.

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

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.

We have tried lots over the years. We recently had a set of two by Ninja, not cheap but the very best we have ever had.

Another vote for Ninja pans.We have a large frying pan and an omelette pan and they are the best ones we've ever had.And do easy to clean.

I like Circulon too, I have two little ones for omelettes and pancakes. I use Le Creuset low casseroles and sauté pans (not non stick) for most other frying. I also have a large one without a brand name which I got free with my induction hob but I don’t often need a big frying pan.
I agree with others, if I find one that works I tend to buy two.
I’ve never found a ceramic one that worked either.

I bought a set of three cheap ones, had them for years thry are just fine, but I do look afteer them, wash carefully after each use and sometimes in the dishwasher.

Good to remind us Ramblingrose22 about the coating. Teflon isn't it? I know le Creusets are PTFE and PFOA free, though as said in thread they are not entirely non-stick.

I've got the really expensive to the really cheap. They last linger if you treat them properly. Mine never go in the dishwasher. I don't use Frylight. And once washed I put a little oil on kitchen paper and rub them round (season). Seems to work.

I have Circulon Scratch Defense ones. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for the replies so far. I hope there are no PTAs (often part of a non-stick coating) in the recommended ones.

I have a gas hob but plan to change it for an induction hob soon. I think aluminium can't be used on induction hobs, although the pan recommended by Tizliz has an aluminium base.

The pans mentioned by mokryna are the set I bought. They were on an offer at the time but still pricey. I am going to check if I should be seasoning them but the damage to their non-stick qualities is probably done.

Procook stainless steel saute pans with clear glass lids. No non stick, I don't like the coatings that can migrate to your food. I wipe my pans with kitchen roll which is often sufficient as nothing sticks to their smooth surface. If anything does, a quick rinse in the washing up bowl is all that's needed. They are excellent pans.

The best frying pan I have ever bought was from a stall on our local market. I temporarily needed a larger pan so I refused to spend a lot of money on it. This large frying pan was £6 and is a simple lightweight aluminium pan that can be used on all types of stove tops. It has been used as a wok at high temperatures and sweating onions at much lower temperature. It has never stuck and I can run cold water into it whilst it's still hot from the stove.

My daughter who was staying with me for a few days and was stunned how easy it was to clean.
