    I switched to cast iron about 4 years ago and it's amazing. It's really not hard to maintain them and once the seasoning is built up, I can fry an egg without adding extra oil. And if I continue to maintain them, they can be passed down for generations.

      Stainless steel is fine, but it can stain and be awful hard to clean to make it look like new
      I also learned how to preserve my pans for LONGER just by cooking on LOWER heat
      I discovered how cooking on lower heat has benefits
      Not only does cooking on lower heat help protect your pans, but it also makes your burners last longer
      Someone did something right because the old stove that came with my place is still working
      The stove is from the days when they had different colored appliances, so someone did something right to help make it last that long

    I make it a point to dismiss 'celebrity' products from the get-go. I would rather they do the reviews of the stuff and then announce who makes the better item. But to buy 'jane doe cookware' because jane doe is a chef, well, like you said, the name is probably slapped on low-quality stuff. I also don't listen to endorsements from them when they are shilling for whatever. I guess basically my spidey-sense kicks in whenever I happen to see any ad from anyone that is a celebrity or even a D-list one.

      What you can do is start cooking on lower heat and SOAK your pans BEFORE cleaning
      What I like to do is put a little bit of soapy water in the pan needing cleaned and put the burner on low
      After letting it sit for a few minutes all I have to do Is just take my dish brush and gently wash the pan
      I discovered it really doesn't take much effort, and that's for light duty cleaning
      If you have a lot of cleaning, then you're going to have to leave the pan soak for a bit longer
      You can actually make your pens last so much longer just by taking good care of them
      Take what you know and learn how to do it BETTER

    At Costco Right now they have a box with a 10" and 12" Tramontina TRI-Ply Fry pans for $29 - what a steal and there is not enough of a difference between them and all clad to pay ten time the price for all clad. I bought my Tramontina Tri Ply pots back when Americas Test Kitchen recommended them in their SECOND year (almost 30 years ago) and frankly I do not see why anyone buys anything else. I have Electric stoves - live in the middle of farm country and no gas -= and so when the bottoms of the pots invariably get too stained - a little oven cleaner brings them back to perfection.

    I don't expect any cookware to last long, so I buy what's decent enough for the lowest price. Teflon don't last long at all, so why spend extra for Teflon coated? Use nonstick spray. Can openers develop rust, so I buy a decent one for around $5, not $20 or more. I buy big pots and pans sets at lowest price. When the pots and pans are done and gone, just buy another set.

    Honestly, my best stainless steel cookware has come from Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls. They always have something cheap, stainless, and of good quality, at a huge discount because they sell odd lots and remainder type stuff. I don't even buy by brand, just look for something that has a heavy bottom and a good fitting lid, and almost any heavy stainless pan is going to do the job.

    I have a GreenPan 10" nonstick ceramic pan that I've used maybe 4 times and already food will stick if I only use a little bit of oil. At this point, once my GreenPan pans are shot, I'll keep an 8" around for eggs, but other than that just use my Tramontina Tri-Ply pro stainless, which is wonderful.

    I stopped buying non-stick pans completely a few years ago. I get 90% of the way there just by preheating a stainless, carbon steel, or cast iron pan with some oil and those will all last forever. I don't see the point of buying disposable pans for slightly better performance in a narrow use-case.

      In my experience, Fissler is absolutely wonderful. My introduction to them was a large, sturdy stainless steel pot that I've been using for upwards of thirty years. More recently, I was given a non-stick saute pan that is nothing like any non-stick I've ever owned - thick-walled and with a hard, hard coating that has not deteriorated one bit in about two years of frequent use. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Proof that that pan doesn’t replace a lot of pans is the lineup of pans they now make. And the complaints. Their new ad for their newest non-stick is malarkey too. No pot or pan is indestructible though we are not likely to run over one with a tank. They shouldn’t have gone overboard again.

  • @sunshine40ish

    Non-stick cookware is good up to 399F. Cook with medium high heat. If you heat it to over 400F it will destroy the pan. That's something to consider when those pans are built to be used for 7 years then replaced. If you use stainless steel the pan must be hot enough to cause water drops to dance or the food will stick. People don't know that and that's why we see perfectly good $200 pans in thrift shops.

    Pans with a nonstick coating have a relatively short life. As the coating wears and scratches, the coating loses its benefit. Stainless steel or cast iron are durable. Once seasoned properly, food generally doesn't stick to them seriously, and you can make it release with a metal spatula without causing damage.

    I buy greenpan ceramic nonstick because I have pet houseducks and teflon is lethal to birds when heated. They're inexpensive so I don't care when I have to replace them. Just be careful, lots of companies advertise as "PFOA free", this is a lie, PFOA has been banned for decades and they still have PTFE, which is still teflon. You need to look for "PFOA and PTFE free", specifically.
    Also, you're not supposed to machine wash your ceramic pans. Hand wash with a soft sponge only.
