No Stick Pans

[low-key]

Have you tried those "Gotham" pans? They were great the first few times, but that's it. I have one of the first ones and it's actually warped on the bottom, so only one part is ever touching the element. Of course, that's also where everything burns on the bottom.

After my non-stick pans started having everything stick I learned you aren't supposed to use non-stick cooking spray in them, apparently it builds up.

......or what about hoses that are not supposed to kink when watering the garden with all the angles that will cause a hose to stick on an impediment . of course I wind the hoses up really tight in the sun protection cover....so that could add to the kinking.

Ya who knew? One of the most useful things I learned on the DIS.

Try stone pots & pans for boiling & frying. For baking, put a layer of aluminum foil on the pan/cookie sheet. As a bonus, it makes cleanup much easier.

I have never baked anything on a baking sheet without foil or parchment, I don’t get why someone would?

My nonstick frying pans and saucepans are made by Cuisinart and T-Fal. I use only butter or oil and nothing ever sticks. I have found that Cuisinart makes the best nonstick pans. I use nonstick foil on my cookie sheet and in my roaster. When I see the commercials where they fry an egg with nothing in the pan and I wonder who would want an egg that isn't fried with a little butter.

I have a frypan set (large and small) with some kind of white coating that work very well. They are probably ten years old or older. I don’t know what the coating is, but it washes up nice and white in the dishwasher. I love to use them for making sausage gravy! I have a couple T-Fal frypans that are decent, but in my experience the pans with the dark coatings just don’t hold up as well. I have never had food stick, but I have had the coating deteriorate to the point I was afraid to continue using them.

I fry mine in bacon grease. Cook the bacon first, then leave some grease in the pan to cook the eggs.

You can have my cast iron pans when you pry them from my cold dead fingers.

You won't have anything stick in a properly seasoned and maintained cast iron. It's all I have.

The only "nonstick" pans that have done a decent job for me (still some sticking, but cleanup is simple) is Starfrit's "The Rock" brand.

I'm not under any illusions that it won't last forever, but thus far I've had no reasons to complain.

Also, I don't consider it a pan, but we have a cheap carbon steel wok, and as long as you season it well, it's relatively non-stick.

Green Pan are great nonstick pans, but they are finicky and you can't use high heat.

I do a lot of reviewing of kitchen stuff. We found those to be the worst of the lot. No wonder they used a new pan every single demonstration on the infomercial. Had they reused one it would stick. Target ceramic lasted 6 months before that became unusable. Gotham Steel and the rest of the orange interior pans lasted three uses tops.

This. I was just coming here to say the same thing.

Hand wash them and the nonstick should last awhile. It only takes a couple times in the dishwasher and the nonstick coating will be gone.

When it comes to pans I've generally been skeptical of those with a nonstick "coating". Guess it's justified?

We only use cast iron. Would never switch to something else. We have one of those chain thingy squares for cleaning and that’s it. We don’t even use soap.

We have a bird so can't use regular non-stick pans. I have one of the Swiss Diamond pans and love it! It was a Christmas gift last year and is holding up perfectly so far. It does not go into the dishwasher but cleans like a dream.

Yes. While I am prepping my plate (and usually dividing it up at that time as it's only me and it all goes into individual freezer packs) I throw it back on the burner to heat back up, then blast it under hot water and any residual stuff is knocked off with one of those metal scrubbies. Then I sit down to eat, finish eating, soak anything else, and leave it all to clean before I cook next time because I'm going to bed, LOL. I only want to be sure my cast iron is clean.
