Non stick pans.. that last!

[Reuben klang]

Yup my point exactly.

I also looked into it once

Basically the warranty is worthless, because any manufacturing defect is covered under your legal consumer rights anyway.

It's just utter ********.

I once had a Le Cresuet 28cm frying pan replaced under warranty, I had to post it back and over the phone I was initially advised about the overheating get out. I had nothing to lose other than the postage costs as the pan was in a right state, they replaced it no questions asked.

Mother had the same but told them it was only ever used on an induction top - you could tell as it didn’t have flame marks. Replaced it.

I have the hexclad set. I get they are overpriced due to the marketing but they have been great so far.

Yeah they arent the best vs non stick or the best vs stainless steel but the hybrid aspect works for me and what I cook regularly. They are also a doddle to clean and they look pretty good too if that matters to anyone (not me mine are i a drawer anyway)

i think peoples main complaint about these types of pans if that you get a lot of sticking on the metal mesh

if they were cheaper i might have tried one though

I.mean chuck an egg in without oil and yeah but then its mot 100% a non stick pan. It just need a spray of 1 kcal oil or something and they dont stick.

As for other stuff you really need to give it a go to get stuff stuck to the mesh in my experience. Even when zi have you can use a scourer or even metal wool to clean it so long as you arent too rough and its pefectly fine.

They are a compromise I know but I dont have the space for too many pans. Id love high quality pans for each job but dont have the space so these are a good middle ground for me, ignoring of course the price is without question an issue.

For tomato based dishes I use stainless steel. Look up the leidenfrost effect, it helps with sticking.

Being in the market for some new pans after going through different brands of non-stick and in need of replacement, came upon this thread.

So after reading think I like to go stainless but also have a budget, anyone used these or could recommend something similar? https://www.procook.co.uk/product/gourmet-stainless-steel-cookware-set-uncoated-8-piece

If you can stretch your budget get the ones with the metal handle so you can stick them in the oven/bbq if required. If you aren’t going to do that then they’ll be fine

I always throw a couple of drops of water on it to see if it dances before using.

Do you need a whole set?

I think it's worth getting a good frying pan, but anything you are going to use to boil pasta etc it doesn't really matter.

Stainless steel is fine, pro cook do a tipple ply one it's decent.

But I also think you need another one as well, stainless steel for example isn't really suited for frying a steak or similar, even doing eggs, if you have a gas hob Carbon steel is great, or cast iron for induction in my opinion.

£150 would get you 2 decent frying pans, with some change actually.

We are in need of whole new pans so ideally looking at a set, as never forked out on anything decent and it’s a mis-match of various stuff that is well past its best.

Was wanting to move away from non-stick and thought stainless maybe the way, but I know the easiest option is probably something like Ninja or Circulon for family cooking. I would love a cast iron but the seasoning and hand washing would fall by the way side and end up in the dishwasher every time.

Look out for Merten & Storck tri ply. I got an open box set for under half the price of new.
