OT. SS non-stick saucepans

[Andy Cap]

Agreed. We bought a set of three during the first weeks of QVC for £16 and wouldn't be without them now.

You burn things in them?

I have to agree with most of that, but I do use MMM's metal abrasive to clean them. It is available in the sheds as a metal abrasive and is usually coloured green and known as Scotchbright.

Wife successfully uses our SS frying pan for her plaice, and that has never stuck to the fish.

Do you know why?

Dave

[Dave]

But so do SS pans.

Probably a variety of reason such as having pot washers and knowing how to look after their food so it doesn't get burned . But I'm sure you'll tell us if you know the reasons .

After 24 years, perhaps it's time to start using them. ;-)

Well, well, well, what a fascinating bunch of guys you all are. Apart from everything else, the KnowledgeBase in this DIY group extends right through into the female world of the kitchen and the utensils used there.

I cook quite a bit and haven't a clue about what pans we have - steel yes, but manufacturer and type, no. Aluminium got kicked into touch many years ago because of it's corrosion.

I'm not really terribly sure if I see the point of non-stick saucepans

- cook carefully and an ordinary pan washes out perfectly easily.

Sexist nonsense!

Most professional cooks are men, so it is very much a male-dominated profession.

Yup, we have some Circulon ones here as well, they are still doing well.

Other than scrathcing, what seems to do for the non-stick is overheating, this seems to be mostly problem with frying pans though

[The Natural Philosopher]

Used daily since then: Stellar or Stella, they are.

But, the scratches mean that aluminium bits are getting into your food and there are serious concerns over the use of aluminium pans and links to health problems!

[Huge]

No there aren't.

happily drink Aludrox for an acid stomach and will drink water from the tap.

(This is not in any way evidence that aluminium pots and pans cause health issues.)
