Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 No such thing as a "safe" non stick-they all contain chemicals of some kind (teflon can kill pet birds, sadly I know this first hand...if it will kill a critter 20 feet away, imagine what is going into your food!). I use only glass to cook in, and there was quite a learning curve to keeping EVERYTHING from sticking, especially eggs, but if you learn to go by the heat of the pan, not the finish, it won't stick anyway. And as said, if it is a good pan, and it is PROPERLY seasoned, things will come right out of it.From: <kareningotham@...>Subject: Re: OT fry pansTo: Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2011, 8:19 PM Oh, DEFINITELY not I.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 , also don't be afraid to use an adequate amount of cooking oil. Non-stick pans were created for " oil-phobes " when so many Americans became brain washed as to the so-called benefits of super low-fat diets.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Would you believe you can also use vodka? Both oil and alcohol dissolve the lecithin. Interesting stuff, lecithin. Can add a bit to bread dough too. I forget how much not more than a tablespoon as I recall. And yes an acid, I keep a bottle of powdered vitamin C for that purpose, though lemon juice and vinegar both work well. Yeast likes it. Another good thing to add is malt sugar like what you'd use in a malted milk. Or if you are feeling lazy the mixes from bobsredmill.com are divine LOL. Page > > I make that too.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 How long have you people used the ameriware? My green pan was wonderful for about a year and although I always washed by hand, used wood or plastic in it, it is now sticking. The reveiws told about people who started sticking within 3 weeks or so . I figured they weren't taking care of the pans right. I see alot of sticking with Scanpan pans. Lots of people who love them, right away, but lots of reviews stating they stick after a time. I wonder if Ameriware is toxic with heat like Teflon?? They don't profess to be PTFE- and PFOA-free .

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I like my stainless steel fry pans, and if I use the lecithin/oil, and start out with lower heat, I can cook perfect eggs but potatoes stick horribly in them. Too much of that lecithin stuff adds a strong flavor so I don't over do that. Scrambled eggs do not do well with them either.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have had my ameriware for two years now. I use one of the frying pans a lot and it is still great, a bit beat up looking but still works great. I never use metal on any of my non stick though. I have pampered chef plastic utensils.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm not sure about the seasoning either. I remember always seasoning a cast iron pan when I was young (long time ago). I can dig out my instructions if you want but I'm sure that cooking with fat & oil would keep them seasoned. I have some Pampered Chef stoneware and they recommend cooking high fat things in the beginning to season their product. Leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 If you're using stainless steel or something, say, enamel-clad, seasoning is pointless because not only are these utensils you want clean but they're impossible to season anyway. Aluminum, cast iron, and carbon steel, on the other hand, can develop a non-stick surface over time just in the course of regular use. One is never supposed to wash or even use water on such pans and they're often dedicated to a particular task, e.g., I have dedicated pans for both crêpes and omelettes. I have three cast iron skillets that I use for everything else--two I bought back in the '70s and one I bought on eBay that's 100+ years old. Not unsurprisingly, extremely sanitary people are often grossed-out when they learn the particulars of seasoning pans. ~ Re: OT fry pans I have never seasoned my pans and they are ok, not sure why, maybe they season when I cook with oil?
