I need a new non-stick frying pan that lasts...

[amazonianwoman]

Last one - anodised, cost a small fortune - hasn't lasted long at all.

Any recommendations please?

This thread is a bit old now, but we’ve recently refreshed our best frying pan guide with plenty of high-quality, non-stick pans recommended by Mumsnetters. We hope you find it useful.

Woll. I have the saute pan with lid, bought 7 years ago this month. Used several times a week - with the lid you can do lots more than with just a frying pan, it's still genuinely non stick - and I do nothing special with it, and did cost a small fortune but it's the only one I ever had that's lasted this long! Added feature I like is you can detach the handle for washing up/dishwashing/storage.

I've just bought a set of 'OXO ' frying pans from Costco . Seem very good so far

Following as I go through a frying pan at least once a year.

Ninja, lovely pans.

Scoville

Le Creuset non stick pans are excellent - mine has been used virtually everyday for about 4 years and is still ok ( I put in the dishwasher too).

Thanks. Keep 'em coming

Have heard good things about Woll, and just looking at Ninja online now.

Torn between forking out a lot on something I hope will last (although paid a decent amount last time), or going relatively cheap and chucking out when it deteriorates. Although that totally goes against my loathing of throw away culture

Oxo pans for me.

We bought a Tefal one years ago - stil going strong!

I have bought pans at lots of price points and IME non-stick pans just have a shorter lifespan.
the best price:longevity ratio I have found is with the £12 one at IKEA. Reckon I get a good 5-6 years out of them despite considerable pan abuse.

I have a really old Tefal wok style which is still going strong after about 10 years - but now have induction and it doesn't work on that

I am not usually a fan of buy cheap and often but with non stick pans I tend to mostly do this. Partly because DH is a nightmare - he'll turn the heat up to super high and then spritz with a low-cal spray and get surprised when the pan can't cope. I have considered that perhaps a really heavy duty one would defeat him and be worth the money but am not willing to risk it.

I get fairly decent ones from Sainsbury's usually. I don't usually buy their budget budget range, but the one up from that. I expect to get around 2 years out of one, depending on use etc. I've just bought a sort of cross wok/frying pan version which I'm quite liking and think it's a bit more industrial than the ones I've had before.

It's the one sort of pan i don't spend too much on. They shouldn't really be used when even just a bit damaged.
So last time I went to look in a big Asda for best offer on a Tefal. It's doing well three years in. T k Maxx can be good too, that's where I'd got the one before.

Have you got Tesco clubcard points? The Denby pans are really nice and you can get get a really good bargain by using points.

Tefal love them I've got the red spot ones lasted me many years

Thanks all again.

It's a toss up between a new cheap and cheerful Tefal for just over £20, given old one far outlasted my v v expensive most recent disaster, or a Ninja for £50. Too scared to spend close to £100 on a Woll if it doesn't last!

I had the same dilemma last week! I googled loads and still couldn't decide. Went and had a look in Robert Dyas and came out with two (small and large) Tefal ones that cost £12 for the pair from their clearance section. They seem good for now but if they don't last I won't feel too hard done by!

And I've tried plenty, from cheap and cheerful to Le Creuset and similar. This knocks them all into a cocked hat and would have paid for itself if only I'd bought it in the first place.

If you don't want to spend that much then these www.amazon.co.uk/JML-Copper-Stone-Pans-20/dp/B01LZY8PKF/ref=sr_1_7?s=kitchen&crid=2257CPHJR6IY6&keywords=non%2Bstick%2Bcopper%2Bfrying%2Bpan&sprefix=non%2Bstick%2Bcopper%2Bfrying%2Bpan%2Ckitchen%2C85&th=1&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1649095291&sr=1-7 are pretty good.

Procook granite lined pans. We bought 3 and they are amazingly good — non stick — as well as far lighter than our le creuset saucepans.

We had a similar issue with non stick and switched to cast iron, it was a complete game changer!

I have some excellent stainless steel pans (over 25 yrs old and still look amazing) and also 3 excellent cast iron pans, but really need a frying pan/wok that is non-stick, which neither of the other styles are.

Scoville or circulon

Came on to Circulon. Really pleased with mine. Also have a 'Whatever' pan, equally as good, but ridged, so may not be what you're looking for.

My two circulon frying pans have been brilliant to start with ( and my wok still is) but the metal bit on the base has detached with both of them. I will be taking the second one up to John Lewis for a replacement. Last time they replaced immediately.
