Don't buy Mainstay skillets
 
I usta buy a Maistays (WW) 8" skillet. No more!

They are no longer non-stick. The last one I bough was NOT
"non-stick". I bought it 'cause it usta be non-stick and I could fry
one egg w/o it sticking. NO more (even though it advertises itself as
being "8" Nonstick Skillet". It's a lie! I'm returning it! ;)

What do you really expect for $3.84?

Perhaps your subject line should be "Don't buy cookware at Walmart".

Or if you _must_ shop at Walmart, consider this one:

LOL, really? Who buys cookware worth $3.84? The same people who eat
cheap, industrial flesh, I guess. Disgusting.

You and kitchen utensils <rolling eyes>. Three years it ago it was
"buy a bunch of cheapo SS skillets!" Now it's "Don't buy a
non-stick skillet from WallayWorld!".

And 5 years ago it was, "I can't find a decent scrub brush for
dishes", but 6 years ago were gushing about some awesome scrub brush
that your boss gave you money to go get.

OK, so maybe this happened over 10-12 years, but I never forget a
post! (just when it was posted).

Oh, and Welcome Back again! Those alcohol-induced falls are usually
the easiest to recover from (since people don't see it coming and
tense up - just like a passenger in a car crash), but YMMV.

Whatcha been eatin?

I had awesome night there buying cookware one night 14 years ago. I
bought a wok, a bamboo cutting board, and a bamboo napkin holder to
hold all my cuttings boards against the back wall of the counter.
And even though I had to buy glue to hold that stapled napkin
holder together, that ****er was a great $1.50 investment along with
the cutting board and wok. I'm pretty sure can see two of them in
most of the pictures I post (along with Gary's Olive oil)

Heh. And I'm fully vaccinated with Walmart's Best!

Back to non-stick skillets... my favorite being a well-seasoned cast
iron pan that food slides right off of.

You should get one of these pans. It's some kind of Korean pan with a maifan coating. What's maifan? I have no idea but it seems to works swell. I'll be able to tell in a year how durable it is. I'm having fun with it at this point.
