Decent frying pan

[Twinkle19]

Sorry for the most boring question ever
But can anyone recommend a good frying pan. Got salter ones a couple of months ago and there wrecked already. Apparently your not meant to use them on a high heat which we didn't know. Don't want to waste anymore money. Has anyone got any that last.

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

I have the JML Copperstone one and quite honestly, I bloody love it. It's not often a gimmicky, cheap JML product is something I'd buy but I was curious.

I love my ikea sensuell stainless steel frying pan. I use it on high heat all the time, as well as being able to dishwasher it and scour on occasion when needed. It's very substantial with a nice heavy base.

Woll are amazing but ££££. Worth it though

I found that out recently when the non stick coating bubbled off my pans. As they have a good (ha!) warranty I contacted the company who told me as I had used them at a high heat to start with it was user damage. Apparently you are meant to start off low and build up. Who knew? Not me.

I got a Pyrex Optima one which is the best I ever had.

Second for the le creuset

I have a copperstone ine and its great. I also have a smaller cast iron one from a supermarket which is also great. Nothing sticks to the copperstone one and the cast iron one guves a goid flavour for some reason

Currently have tefal which have been fine. I have a set of large, pots from fissler which are great, so when the pans need replacing, I'll be trying their pans.

Do you guys have induction hobs, or normal gas ones?

I've got a few nice ones in different sizes from M&S. They seem really good, weren't too expensive and came with a 25 year guarantee.

Mine is an induction one

We have some Tefal which are about 6 months old now but look like new still.

Discovered Le Crueset as linked above and love it.
Now I’m also a well seasoned cook so know not to use metal on it or use it on high heats.
For high temps I use cast iron.

We have Oxo good grips ones from Lakeland. Not cheap, but really good and have lasted years so far.

I've just bought a tower chameleon. It's so, so beautiful and really effective and lovely to use- non stick, rinses clean in a moment.

But it's chipped around the edge and it's only been a week.

But it's beautiful.... sigh. Don't know whether the take it back or hang on to it!

I've just bought a ninja one after a lot of recommendations. Needed a non stick one that wasn't fugly. I've high hopes for it !

I have a 15 year old Tfal. A large deep one with a lid that gets used nearly daily. It was Jamie Oliver branded. It is indestructible, really nonstick and it still looks flawless. I am actually amazed.

I meant to say we use ours on induction.

Another vote for the Le Creuset linked above.

Looks like this . I promise I am not a rep. It just amazes me with its longevity.

Procook one, can't remember what type but had it 3 years with no complaints. A bit like this one? www.procook.co.uk/product/procook-gourmet-nonstick-frying-pan-with-lid-24cmnon

We went for plain stainless steel from precook. Has taken a lot of practice not to stick things like eggs but it's worth it when they can be scoured and dishwashed and dented and they still work!

Same happened to us. Never heard you cant use a pan over a high heat before.

@Rubberduckies what's the tip to using it for fried eggs? I had a stainless steel one but gave it up pretty much for that reason. It's great that you can scrub it, but I'd rather not need to!
