Non-Stick cookware - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gracie2006 · 04-24-2008, 06:12 PM

Is there such a thing? Really? I have tried the better brands, the lower line of calphalon etc. and food still sticks to the non-stick cookware. Have any of you found a pan that will cook a skinless chicken breast without it sticking? I use a cooking spray and plastic utensils now but food still sticks. Please recommend a brand and a model. I am willing to invest $$$$ in one very good pan if food won't stick to it.

I don't use the kind that have any coating but the pans I've got are analon (stainless I think) and stuff doesn't usually stick to them and even if it does, it comes right off when I soak them for a bit. I won't use teflon or any of the synthetic coatings in my house.

Oops...the analon are the ones I don't use....they were pretty nice, but I was usuing one of the grill pans (HIGH heat) and was heating it up and in the other room when one of the rivets popped off and went zinging past my head

. It scared the crap out of me and would have really injured me if it had hit me. Anyhow, this is similar to the set I had:

Macy*s - Kitchen - Anolon Ovation 10-Piece Cookware Set

Nothing ever stuck to them.

I have another set now that's all metal (of some sort) and hardly anything sticks to them either...if it does, it comes right off when you rinse them....I'll see if I can see what they are.

this brand is awesome and the price you can't beat it... Welcome to TRAMONTINA

Tiggerwit · 04-24-2008, 06:51 PM

I got my set from Costco, I don't remember the brand and they are awesome. I have no issues. If something is a little stuck, I just soak it and voila, comes right off.

We use teflon coated pans to make eggs, thats about it. Just buy a cheapo one and replace it often. Wearever works well. I have a Rachael Ray one right now. Otherwise we use stainless now. I had Calphalon One and I HATED it. I felt bad replacing it too because it was so expensive, but I really hated it. I love my new RR stainless pans.

Why don't you get a really good cast iron pan? After those get seasoned they are truly non-stick.

I have copper clad Revere Ware and I love it. It cleans up very easily. I will admit that fried chicken will stick if you don't watch it carefully. But it cleans up with no problem if it does stick.

Erin · 04-24-2008, 07:08 PM

Oh yeah, if anything does stick and you don't feel like dealing with soaking a pan, just deglaze it. Turn the heat up and then dump in water (or wine or stock if it's chicken/steak and you want to make a sauce) and let it bubble up while you scrape the bottom. Much faster than soaking

Is cooking with teflon bad or something. I have never heard anything on this?

Just another one of those things that causes cancer. Supposedly it's inert when it's on the pan, but if you heat it over a certain temp the fumes can cause problems.

Once one ingests Teflon, it doesn't leave your body. It's also deadly to pet birds.

My step father works at BB&B and my mom and him were able to get some great prices on Caphalon. So needlesstosay Im fully loaded with it. Its all I use. I LOVE it! I have no problems with sticking food, even rice and stuff that usually sticks does not stick. I could wipe all my pans with a paper towel and they would wipe clean lol Im sorry you did not find caphalon to be like that for you.

funny thing about my pots & pans, they are probably worth about $1500 right? And all my friends (even family too) laugh bc I am sooo not known to be any kind of cook AT ALL! I hate to cook actually! yet I have pots & pans most my friends would give their left leg for! haha

Bizzymammabee · 04-25-2008, 10:38 AM

I use stainless steel. You might want to lower the flame some.
