New non-stick pans
I bought a 2-piece set of non-stick pans by Gotham from Costco a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful looking pans. The non-stick is thrillling, plus non-stick exterior and non scratch. Super-duper for eggs of any kind. Be careful you could easily make them zip right out of the pan. It was $29 for a 10 inch and a 12 inch. Nicely weighted pan, not heavy. However. It is almost impossible to get anything to brown or crisp in those pans. It's also difficult to turn stuff over. Pieces of food just keep slipping away from attempts to flip anything. My husband is happy because he doesn't have to spend a lot of time trying to get gummy brown stuff off the bottoms of the pans. My old non-stick are 20 years old and have become terrible at holding onto meat proteins. I will probably have to go back to my cast iron for anythng that needs browning. I don't know if this problem applies to all of the new non-stick surfaces, My husband said he had heard about this issue on the TV. Janet US |

That helps. Tongs may help with the flipping. My favorite pan for searing is a 10" SS lined copper pan. When I take out the meat I deglaze it and cleaning is much easier and you have a nice reduction to pour over the food. |

My range bit the dust so I've been using a butane burner on top of the range. I've been enjoying cooking with gas. Unfortunately, we have no gas lines to our condo. Hopefully I can get an old style exposed electric burner. Then I can use any pan I want. That would be just wonderful. |

That would be just wonderful. Thanks But I was thinking of trying less oil since I already use oil as though the pan was not non stick. A non stick pan for me means food doesn't stick to the pan when cooking but I use the same amount of oil that I would with any pan. Janet US |

You can tell it's quite different. It has 45 degree slopes to the 1" sides and I usually flip stuff in the pan with a shake-wrist-flip. Trying to do it with this pan is hillarous.

Yes, the polymers become monomers and when that happens you're up the proverbial without the proverbial. Never let them get hot without any fat in them. The other problem is that the non-stick layer will get damaged over time and start leaking into your food. I know this is all not news, but the takeaway of the program I saw is that this isn't just a worry for hypochondriacs, but a real issue. Don't use non-stick pans. -- The real Bruce posts with Eternal September |

The fumes from non-stick pans don't bother me. If I had a large parrot, I'd be careful though. My understanding is that the fumes will kill them. I can't say if it actually true. If you're into searing meat and afraid of toxic fumes, just get a wok or a carbon steel pan and sear to your heart's content. |

The fumes from non-stick pans don't bother me. If I had a large parrot, I'd be careful though. My understanding is that the fumes will kill them. I can't say if it actually true. That was confirmed in the program I saw. Birds have more vulnerable breathing systems than us. That must also explain the coal mine canary. -- The real Bruce posts with Eternal September |

The price difference between a GOOD set of 3 non-stick pans and a cheap set of 3 non-stick pans is only $10. $15 vs $25. Bailetti and Tramontina have lasted me 10 years each, even when left on a lit stove for an hour after cooking a few times each. That cheap-assed farberware shit from Walmart won't last a year. Be careful of any formerly good name brands at Walmart and other discount retailers. -sw |

It's so the eggs don't stick to the pan. I still use plenty of butter, which makes them taste good. For everything else, it's about cleanup. Easy-peasy with nonstick. However, for developing a crust during searing, nonstick isn't so good. Then I turn to my stainless pans. Cindy Hamilton |

You can add a little oil then put the steak in once the oil starts smoking. Or you can use a dry pan and get it much hotter before adding the steak. The first side searing does stick a bit but easily pulled off and flipped. The second side doesn't stick. Then just turn down the heat and finish to med-rare. |

By far, my favorite pans are two of these: https://www.amazon.com/Copper-Chef-D.../dp/B07N984J2S I'd never buy another non-stick. What I have will last until retirement, when we're "Going Mobile."

That sounds pretty optimistic. Unfortunately, the ceramic pans don't seem to be very durable. Mostly, they seem to be very good at not killing any birds that might be in your house. Good luck in going mobile. My you roam far and wide and free. |

Camping in State and National Parks in a tent, and in some areas w/o facilities that don't cost to tent camp. Some AirBnBs. An occasional fancy hotel when we get a super deal--like Hotwire Hot Deals. We're eventually buying my son's hybrid Sonata for our touring car. The rental income from our two paid off houses would more than pay for the types of lodging we'd want to stay in anyway. The only luck involved in "going mobile" is our health, and that's not really different than if we lived in one place. When we do settle down, Jill's neck of the woods is pretty appealing, specifically Savannah, Georgia, though I could see living most of the year in Ponce, PR, and the bad part of hurricane season elsewhere, maybe San José, Costa Rica, two cities that have excellent health care facilities. --Bryan |

The voice-over says that Americans are like the early pioneers of the American West. They feel the need to keep moving. I have no idea if that's true or not. OTOH, I've always considered my brother-in-laws and my sister-in-law to be wild rovers. They've crossed America many times. To them, it's as casual a trip as me going to the North Shore of Oahu. The most depressing part of the movie is working at Amazon.com. It eats up and spits out seasonal workers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ4o4jwSaHk |

I've had only one non-stick pan. Very heavy aluminum with a non-stick surface. Very old but rarely used - only for the occasional pancakes or fried rice. A few months ago, I went to use it and saw that some of the non-stick surface was missing. I was afraid to use it so I didn't. I should probably just toss it out. I'll never miss it as I rarely used it. It's too big anyway....won't sit flat in my large sink to soak due to the long handle. 12" pan with long handle. Oh well. |
