Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I once owned a Calphon (right spelling) pan. My father in law bought me this $100 omelet pan. I eventually started to stick, so Calphon replaced it for me. that one started sticking too. Maybe it got too hot. If so, it seemed too tempermental for the expense. I bought a $35 set of cast iron from Sams, seasoned it correctly and love it!! Cast iron heats uniformally and once it is seasoned it does not stick (sometimes I scrub it with a light scrubby thing though). If you make a fatal error with it, you can scrub it back down and start with the reseasoning process again. Plu you get a bit of dietary iron with every dish. If you feel you need new cookware, and can't spend a fortune on dept. store pans, you might give cast iron a try. I don't think you can use it on flat top electric stoves though. I do have a stainless steel stock pot from Dillards which I've had for a long time. I don't know how stainless frying pans fare though. Anybody use stainless sauce/fry pans? Do they stick like the old copper bottom Faberwares? -Laurie Bilyeu wrote: Whew, I bought Circulon! Doesn’t seem to be a whiff of Teflon near it.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have been using my Revereware pots for 10 years, since I got married, and they are still as good as new. If I accidently burn something in one I will have to scrub it with steel wool, but otherwise, no problems. I don't have a frying pan, though. I just got a big, new Calphalon fry pan for gf cooking, and it is great. Teflon coated, though. Hm. I'd love to know how a good stainless steel frying pan cleans up.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I can answer that! The set of stainless steel pans I just partially discarded were Sonoma Grand Cuisine. I had them for 15 years and have loved them, but they met with some unfortunate cooking accidents. (Hard boiled eggs left on and forgotten) The frying pan survived best of all. It needs more oil to be non-stick than my new Circulon, but it always cleaned up beautifully. And, like your Revereware, steel wool took care of everything else. I liked its more solid weight compared to Revereware, but I wouldn’t say it’s longer lasting! Laurie lbilyeu@... From: SillyYaks [mailto:SillyYaks ] On Behalf Of lisslands2@...
