NON STICK FRYING PANS

I would highly recommend Intignis pans. Nothing ever sticks, ever. They seem to be indestructible and, the reason I bought the first casserole dish with lid, was my arthritis stopped me lifting my old cast iron pans. These are aluminium and honestly, they are so non stick, a paper towel wipe cleans them. I do put them in the dishwasher though.

I had pro cook but noticed that the non stick was coming off the edges, I binned them and found the old circulon frying pan that I had put by in case it was needed for uni. That circulon pan is doing very well, I only ever hand wash and it is still a good non stick, after all the years of use, with no damage to the non stick

I did use my le creuset shallow casserole for a while but food stuck and I gave up

I also used cast iron for a while but the seasoned coating that I put on was useless as I needed to wash the pan with washing up liquid

Try seasoning the pan. Put it on the burner, and allow it to get hot, then put sea salt in it and stir. Allow to cool, and remove the salt. Also, when cooking, first heat the pan, then add the food, then add some oil.

Needed to replace two frying pans last year. Bought a Ninja to replace the smaller one which I use the most. Love it. Will go for the same make when I get round to larger one.

I have spent a small fortune on non stick frying pans over the years
Had Le Creuset one, too heavy now I have one from M&S not too expensive but I'm happy to bin it when it fails.

Bergholt. I.have one. Will get more. Clean.easily though no coating just stainless steel. Should last forever. Easiglide, speckled, have been very good. I have a designated scrambled egg saucepan, soak it and the egg left floats off. Their frying pans last a good long time.

Ninja non stick frying pans are amazing and much lighter than my le Creuset ones which, to be honest, I don’t recommend and would never buy again. I have a Ninja wok and a Ninja small frying pan and I’m very pleased with them.

I recently bought a ninja frying pan directly from Ninja and so far so good.

Ikea Hemkost if you need non stick and brilliant on induction hob. www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/hemkomst-frying-pan-stainless-steel-non-stick-coating-80580095/

I’ve spent a fortune on non-stick pans over the years. I still need to buy a new one every six months! Now I just go to TK Maxx and feel them all till I find one that is comfy for me to hold.

Another vote for Ninja pans. I've got a frying pan and an omelette pan from them and both of them have proven to be non-stick - and that's without using any oil with them (as I try to avoid oil as far as I can - because of the calories).

So - yep...I just use them as is usually, ie just plonk the food I'm sauteing straight in them. They're not a bother to clean either - as I just give them a quick rinse under the tap and that softens any odd little bits of food that have actually stuck there and I can just plonk them in the washing-up and wipe off in the bowl with the dishcloth.

I bought Procook granite, pricey, unfortunately I will not be recommending them. They are still nonstick after two/three years but they have discoloured. I was told that it was because I am cooking on a high heat.

Can’t put in dishwasher ☹️

The best frying pan I have ever bought was from a stall on our local market. I temporarily needed a larger pan so I refused to spend a lot of money on it. This large frying pan was £6 and is a simple lightweight aluminium pan that can be used on all types of stove tops. It has been used as a wok at high temperatures and sweating onions at much lower temperature. It has never stuck and I can run cold water into it whilst it's still hot from the stove.

My daughter who was staying with me for a few days and was stunned how easy it was to clean.

Procook stainless steel saute pans with clear glass lids. No non stick, I don't like the coatings that can migrate to your food. I wipe my pans with kitchen roll which is often sufficient as nothing sticks to their smooth surface. If anything does, a quick rinse in the washing up bowl is all that's needed. They are excellent pans.

Thanks for the replies so far. I hope there are no PTAs (often part of a non-stick coating) in the recommended ones.

I have a gas hob but plan to change it for an induction hob soon. I think aluminium can't be used on induction hobs, although the pan recommended by Tizliz has an aluminium base.

The pans mentioned by mokryna are the set I bought. They were on an offer at the time but still pricey. I am going to check if I should be seasoning them but the damage to their non-stick qualities is probably done.

I have Circulon Scratch Defense ones. Absolutely brilliant.

I've got the really expensive to the really cheap. They last linger if you treat them properly. Mine never go in the dishwasher. I don't use Frylight. And once washed I put a little oil on kitchen paper and rub them round (season). Seems to work.

Good to remind us Ramblingrose22 about the coating. Teflon isn't it? I know le Creusets are PTFE and PFOA free, though as said in thread they are not entirely non-stick.

I bought a set of three cheap ones, had them for years thry are just fine, but I do look afteer them, wash carefully after each use and sometimes in the dishwasher.

I like Circulon too, I have two little ones for omelettes and pancakes. I use Le Creuset low casseroles and sauté pans (not non stick) for most other frying. I also have a large one without a brand name which I got free with my induction hob but I don’t often need a big frying pan.
I agree with others, if I find one that works I tend to buy two.
I’ve never found a ceramic one that worked either.

I never wash my Le Creuset or non-stick in the dishwasher either, it ruins the surface and the outside finish.

Another vote for Ninja pans.We have a large frying pan and an omelette pan and they are the best ones we've ever had.And do easy to clean.

After watching the film “Dark water” I chucked my non stick pan, then panicked because I couldn’t find one without Teflon. In the end got a good, heavy pan at homesense, no coating of any kind, nothing really sticks, unless I have the heat up too high.

We have tried lots over the years. We recently had a set of two by Ninja, not cheap but the very best we have ever had.
