Replacements for non-stick pans

[notsure75]

For many years, I have been buying non-stick frying pans, relatively cheap at £20 or so a pop and using them for 3-4 years until they become scratched and the non-stick coating starts peeling off and then replacing them. Lately, it seems like they don't last that long, especially after DS or family visitors poke them with different kitchen implements. For years have been reading about the nasty chemicals in the non-stick coating so I have finally decided to get an alternative so that I can no longer slow poison the nearest and dearest. There's quite a choice out there! I am quite happy to invest into some decent equipment. Please, tell me about your finds.

Just realised that there are several threads about this in the Housekeeping section....

Scoville seem to be highly regarded, my DD loves them.

Thank you, Winter, I had a look at them and they appear to have some sort of non-stick coating. The claim is that it's stronger than usual, but I fear it might be not strong enough for me. I am thinking about getting a stainless steel one, they seem to be safer. I don't think I would manage a cast iron pan on a regular basis, seems far too heavy.

We have Pro Cook stainless steel pots/pans.

I started out with stainless steel 49 years plus ago and o still have most of them. I've added a few-suggest Stella stainless steel. I have some 1000s.

40 not 49

Thank you! Both look like something I have in mind. Would you say they are complicated to use? Keeping them hot but not too hot, washing them cool and with a sponge that's not too scratchy, etc. I guess it's worth trying it. I have noticed that I now watch obsessively what kinds of pans are being used in Saturday Kitchen and others.

I've never had luck with non stick until I invested in Ninja pans.
They are amazing!
They are used daily and bunged in the dishwasher and after a couple of years are still as good as new.
They come with a 10 year warranty

I came here to say Ninja. I've just bought one and love it.
