Frying pan advice please

Another vote for Lakeland One Pan though they aren’t full size. I have used Eaziglide Neverstick pans from John Lewis for years now and they are excellent. £60 - £65 depending on if you want a glass lid.

Don't know whether you can still get pans with removeable handles, which is what I have (one is only ever used to make tarte tatin!).
(Mine are PTFE though.)

I am still reading and researching.
Thank you everyone!

I think the pan is likely to be worked very hard (!) so durability is important.
SO much info.
Will pop along to TK Maxx at the weekend.
Really grateful for the various suggestions!

I have a couple of ceramic-coated frying pans from Procook which I love. Both are now close to 10 years old and the coating is as good as new. Both work on the induction hob.
My partner has a couple of their stainless steel frying pans which do occasionally suffer from sticking but are very easy to clean in the dishwasher or with an overnight soak. However, the very large one is awkwardly heavy when full of food.

I've given up on non-stick and gone back to a good quality
stainless steel pan.

Try Curtis stone al kinds of pans that will go in oven on hob etc easy to clean and look after

Look at Scoville Neverstick pans. I bought one of their sauté pans this year and it’s really very good. Dishwasher safe - easy to clean. They do a range of frying pans, including ones with an oven safe handle.

I have got 2 of this brand. I have not had them very long , but the non- stick has not lasted very long. I have to put some baking parchment in the bottom of the pan { seen on a cookery programme}
I am thinking of getting a multi use pan from Lakeland.
Has anyone tried them?

Lecruset frying pans are excellent. I’ve got two and used for the last 15 years with out problems and they are induction friendly.

Just look for ceramic coated or stainless steel pans. Loads on Amazon.

I can highly recommend this pan : Prestige Earth Friendly 28cm Non-Stick Induction Chef Pan & Lid – Plant-Based Coating, Toxic Free, Made in Italy, Green.
After a lot of research I bought this last May from Amazon. Currently priced at £52. It is not heavy, nothing sticks to it & it washes like a dream. I only wish I had bought it years ago!

Not sure if the link will work but here goes:

I have two Le Creuset non stick frying pans with lids. I use them on my induction hob and in the oven. I have had them 14 years. I don’t know how much they would cost these days.

This is a nice light weight pan with a lid however shen it arrives the knob on the lid has to be attached with the result that the lid can lo nonger go in the pan upside down for storage.

Try TKMaxx, they have really good bargains.

TK Max have a huge range of frying pans etc. etc. I bought all my new pans there following my recent house move. Mine are all for induction hobs. TK is so much better value than the regular shops and top quality.

Buy an enamelled one— safe- and can go in the oven. Mine also looks very swish. Recommended to hand wash but it goes in the dishwasher with no ill effects. Looks good for oven to table. Cost about £35. Make is Ninja.

I think if it were me and given all their different requirements l would give them a voucher either for a good quality kitchen shop like Lakeland or somewhere like John Lewis and then you can’t really go wrong. It’s a lot of money and a real pain to make a mistake

Ceramic pans are non PTFE, I believe.

Pan!

Try the Lakeland One Plan. I have been very happy with this. Not sure if it can go in oven but I use on induction. Nothing sticks to it and it has fared better than my non stick pans. I can't remember how much it was but don't think it was over £150

DIfferent people, different results. I purchased Pro-cook saucepans and frying pans, when I was moving and getting ready for induction. Seven years ago. Love these, no probems at all with sticking, and with the frying pans, usually just wipe them over, after use with some kitchen paper and put back in drawer. They look exactly as they did when new. Am careful with storage.

This is interesting about the differences between PTFA and PFOS.
Granted it's the Tefal website!

We had new Scoville pans earlier this year and I'm very happy with them.
I never use metal utensils or plastic though, I bought some nice wooden (teak I think) ones at the same time which are easy to care for with a drop of cooking oil.

My previous plastic/nylon non-stick fish-slice had blistered, so that's something else to consider.

I would have a look at Hexclad. Used by a lot of chefs and seems to meet your requirements. I use Le Creuset but as you probably know, they are heavy, if indestructible. Hexclad are OK for induction hobs I believe.

Thanks Erica and others. I have been checking out your suggestions.

What ever you buy don’t buy Pro cook. We bought a full set two years ago, they’ve rubbish ! The paint is peeling and they stick like crazy. They’ll be going in the bin soon.

Thank you.
I don't want to buy Tefal as research suggests it starts to break down at 260°C (and if scratched). This is what they want to replace.

I have said I would replace their Tefal pan so really not buying one doesn't make a good gift Macadia!

Dont choose one at all.
