Quest to find a good non-stick fry pan

[OneEyedDiva]

Teflon was found to be dangerous so I got rid of mine. Then I started using regular pans sprayed with non stick cooking spray. I've since updated to induction cookware, still using non stick spray. When sprayed correctly, eggs don't stick to pan.

And, there is a great, product called "Bar Keeper's Friend" that cleans whatever may be left in the pan & polishes it, too.
If you leave it in the pan for 5 minutes, then scrub it with one of those plastic sponges, everything comes off & it leaves the pan polished.
When friends see my pans, they say, "You don't use them, do you?"

Long, long ago I used on the stainless steel cookware I still have. I'll have to get some. My stainless is about 45 years old and still works and looks fine. It's the other pots and pans thta I've bought recently that have a problem. Mostly on the bottoms.

Ron and I have been on a quest for a non stick frypan for some time. We’ve tried regular Teflon, ceramic coated, copper, calfalon stainless. All will stick after a while even with a good coating of butter or oil and lower heat.

Our most recent purchase was an impulse buy. I was so tired of the eggs sticking in the last one that I saw a small Rachel Ray hard anodized nonstick frypan on sale and said to hell with it I’ll buy it and use it while I’m looking for a better one.

It’s now several months later and we are so tickled with its performance that we ordered a medium and a large as well, and have been using them with much pleasure since Christmas.

Of all that we’ve tried these are the best so far. One note: We’ve learned through hard experience that using spray oil on nonstick pans over time degrades the surface/coating and affects the pan’s nonstick surface.

And not to insult anyone’s intelligence, but another note is that using metal spatulas or utensils will also scratch and degrade the surface. We only use wood or plastic utensils.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one motivated to find a good fry pan! It's possible, though, that I'm becoming a little too obsessed. On a side note, I will start lowering the heat on my eggs. Thank you for the suggestion.

This Michelangelo brand looks like a good possibility. I haven't come across this one before. Decent price too. When my new ceramic pan bites the dust, I'll give this one a try. Many brands are SO expensive, I can't try them.

We have been very happy with ours so I hope it works out for you as well. They are the type of quality that often only need be wiped out and maybe rubbed occasionally with a little oil.
