I have had at least 3 different brands of non-stick pans. Looking for one that doesn't lose it's coating.

I had Scan pans for a several years and they worked great! They are PFOA free. You can get them from William Sonoma. I got mine straight from the Scan pan website when there was a sale. I had the same set for 4 years before I started noticing signs that they needed to be replaced. I think all non-stick pans will show some wear and tear after a while.

I added the enameled Le Creuset skillet to my kitchen and have been very happy. We rarely reach for the All Clad or the cast iron skillets (all very well seasoned) any longer. Still made in France and exceptional quality. There are several sizes of pans and skillets available. |

I use my Calphalon stainless steel, oil and the proper temp before adding the food and it pretty much non stick. I only have one nonstick skillet skillet and it the green pan and we only use it for eggs these days!

I don't know how long the coating will last, as I have only had the pan about a month. The brand is Green Pan.

If you can, learn to use stainless steel.
There is a bit of a learning curve but way better than non stick coated pans.
They all chip snd the coating breaks off.
I tried Green Pans, Food Networks version, Kitchenaids, etc etc etc.
I either use my all clad stainless steel or Calphalon stainless steel pans or my Le Creusey enameled cast iron skillets. I have 2. The 9" and 10.25".
I got the 9" at the outlet for $99. The 10.25" was on sale on line.
They too have a specific way to use but are great and no seasoning needed as they are Enamel coated.

I have Scan Pans from Sur La Table. They do have different grades too them. I wouldn't buy the cheapest ones. For some reason those are harder to clean. Expensive but they really last. You don't even have to use silicone spatulas with them though I usually do.

We have a nice set of Circulon pans from Costco that we liked so much we bought a second set for home. I also have a copper pan that is truly nonstick. I made a batch of some copycat Star Crunch bars (marshmallows, chocolate, caramel) and the stuff slid right out. Normally I make things like that in a Pyrex in the microwave and there’s always a nasty sticky mess in the dish that I have to soak overnight to get off.

I bought a set of HexClad pans over a year ago and I love them. They are a hybrid pan and I have had no problem with anything sticking, and they are metal utensil safe. Love the vented lids. They are dishwasher safe, although I have always hand washed my pans and continue to do so. I love them so much that I bought my daughter a set this past Christmas.

I use my well loved Le Creusets (the “Everyday Pan”) is awesome!
I have Le Creusets that are older than me and still beautiful, and a good number I bought in the 00’s/10’s that are “enameled” cast iron that are great.
I don’t consider them non stick though, just low stick lol
I mostly use old tin lined French copper, and that is essentially non stick. I have a large stainless lined copper sauté that is the favorite of everyone in the house.
My son has a $35 pan from Walmart that I replace the moment I see any material scraped off if it that he sometimes uses. I don’t like the way food cooked in it looks. He’s 22 and I’ve replaced that pan about 4 times in 5 years. My copper is all older than I am- and have only had to reline 3 favorites once.

The commercials are hokey but I really like my GothamSteel pans!
I have them in various sizes and there is no chipping ...

I have some Cuisinart hard anodized nonstick skillets that get heavy use and so far no signs of flaking. I’ve had them about 7 years. I like that they’re also oven-proof.

Lodge enameled cast iron - we have the Dutch oven and the casserole pan. We've been using them for about 6 months and love the non stick and ease of clean up.

I've had Pampered Chef Executive Cookware for years and it all still looks new. I can't speak for the current ones. Mine are around 15-17 years old.

Right now, if you want new, Mauviel and Bourgeat (this is what my stainless lined sauté is) are about the only ones I recommend. Williams Sonoma used to have a line, I don’t know if they still do. Palm and all the made it Vietnam/Thailand stuff had nickel etc in the lining and poor thickness. I honestly would recommend considering what pots/pans you use most, and ordering a quality, old but with clean thick tin lining piece on eBay. If you’re willing to go that route- look for E. Dehillerin, Villedieu, or my favorite, Gaillard. You can get a beautiful Gaillard for the same price as the “Everyday Pan” I just bought (and love.) Oh, I should have also added- copper is best on a gas stove. I use some of mine on my glass cooktop, but make sure you have a smooth bottom if you plan to do that. |

Any one know if these recommended pans work with induction ranges?

I was just going to say Hexclad as well. DH bought us a full set last November as a joint anniversary gift (he cooks a lot too) and they are fabulous. He bought them specifically as we had moved into an apartment with an induction cooktop and our old pans didn't work great with that, but the Hexclad work well. |

Ninja is the best I've ever used and I've just bought another as a gift. Nothing ever sticks and I just wipe it clean with a damp cloth. My oldest son loves to cook rubbery scrambled eggs and the pan would be a disaster, but again a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all the pan needs.

I am loving my new HexClad. I have slowly transitioned over to them. You do need a little fat in them to make them more non-stick. I keep a spray bottle that has either olive oil (light) or avocado oil in it and give it a quick spray, if I do not have any other fat in the pan. I gently pre-heat the pan a bit, add the oil and it is great. Similar to working with a good stainless steel pan.
