Cookware (pots, pans, etc)

What are your faves and how are your experiences?

I've been looking for something non-stick but not Teflon for fried eggs. But I keep winding up using Teflon nonstick pans bc they work and the stuff that's supposed to be non-stick, isn't.

I've got a $250 Hexclad that should be non-stick but it doesn't work for fried eggs. Same with my $250 Vermicular cast iron. I do love the Vermicular for other foods though. The Hexclad I wish I would have skipped.

I have a few Dutch Ovens that work great, my enameled Lodge is a workhorse. I have a Guy Fieri stainless pan that works great.

I should mention that I have a gas stove so if there's anything you guys have that work well for that, I'm all ears.

I'm trying to find that next great piece that I didn't know I needed...

The Tfal nonstick pans are about as good as you can get for eggs. Don’t skimp on cheap non-stick or shat **** will end up in your food.

A properly heated stainless steel pan is non-stick. Heat until water dances on the pan surface then drop your eggs.

Restaurant depot 6" and 12' non stick relaced every year. All Clad for everything else stainless steel. a couple 10" cast iron skillets as well as a low boy for eggs. Oh yea a griddle for the winter. We have tried expensive non stick but they don't last if the family will treat them well.

FYI beware of Heckles knifes on amazon. They are OK but half the thickness of the classics. Daughter has Cuisinart pans from amazon that are not the same as the ones you can buy on their website.

I fry my bacon in the oven on foil! Then do my fried eggs the same! In the oven!

I always heat my stainless (and others) this way but it doesn't always work...

I use an All Clad 12 inch everyday. Have found em at Ross couple times cheap. Last 2-3 years. My other pans are Salad Master. They are old because they were expensive
