so i scratched all my non stick pans...

and now just want to buy two replacement pans that will last, suggestions? I was going to go to BBB on my lunch break today.

TIA.

This is why we didn't buy non-stick pans.. they scratch so easily. Really the only thing you can use with them is a rubber spatula or those silicon ones....

Also, always wash them with a cloth or sponge NOT a scrubby or a Brillo pad.

FH and I are happy with Calaphon non-stick pan..we only got one.... Our pot set thoguh is non-stick my copper bottoms... my chef husband insists they are the best... . . . . I am forgetting the naem of it now though.... AllClad maybe???.

all clad! they last FOREVERRRRR and a day

here's your opportunity to cook healthier!

Nonstick has lots of chemicals that absorb into your food. Not good.

depending upon your budget:

budget, what budget? :
couple all clad stainless steel pots (no nonstick)

a good 12' cast iron skillet (keep it oily, rinse with
water after use, and dry by heating it for a couple min on the stove. don't wash it with detergent, and within a year, it will be a healty nonstick surface that you can use metal utensils with, and will last forever!)


yep, I've got a budget!:
get stainless pots (no nonstick) with an aluminum disk bottom

same 12' cast iron skillet

hope this helps!

what about the calphalon non-sticks? i'm assuming there's some sort of chemical that's in that material... we're registering for the first time tomorrow, so don't want to put something on my list that would be a bad idea in the long run!
