Best non stick cookware for induction cooktop
Comments (4)Swiss Diamond stopped using PFOA for their non-stick in 2008 and has an induction capable line. I use an Ikea 365+ Teflon pan for eggs and keep the heat low to medium. Teflon doesn't use PFOA, either. Heating these pans beyond 500 degrees can cause awful fumes to be created. But, there's no reason to get even remotely close to that temp with these pans. The teflon coating is non-reactive with other chemicals. For searing, cast iron is a good option. A well-developed seasoning can make them non-stick. I use one of these, as well. Seasoned carbon steel (ex. DeBuyer) is also non-stick and an excellent quick cooking vessel. Very responsive. I have no experience with ceramic pans....See MoreHelp with Non-stick cookware for induction
Comments (21)brickeyee Not to discredit you or anything but maybe you should read the attached link before you make such a blanket statement (and yes, I have Teflon coated non stick pans that I use) or this site http://www.torayfluorofibers.com/TEFLONADVANTAGE/ProductSafetyInfo/tabid/60/Default.aspx where, and I quote, Do not use TFA materials in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body or permanent contact with internal body fluids or tissues. Do not use TFA materials in medical applications involving brief or temporary implantation in the human body or contact with internal body fluids or tissues, unless the material has been provided directly from TFA under a contract which expressly acknowledges the contemplated use. TFA makes no representation, promise, express warranty or implied warranty concerning the suitability of these materials for use in implantation in the human body or in contact with internal body fluids or tissues. The content of TFA material is not certified for implants. TFA materials are not designed or manufactured for use in implantation in the human body or in contact with internal body fluids or tissues. TFA has not performed clinical testing of these materials for implantation. TFA will not provide to customers making implantable devices any notice concerning its materials, as specified under 21 C.F.R. section 820.81, or any other information necessary for medical device use of the materials under any other statute or FDA regulation. TFA has neither sought, nor received, approval from the FDA for the use of these materials in implantation in the human body or in contact with internal body fluids or tissues. Do not make reference to the TFA name or any TFA trademark in association with an implantable medical device. Do not use a TFA trademark as the descriptive name of an implantable medical device (e.g., do not call it the "TEFLON® prosthesis"). All implantable medical devices carry a risk of failure and adverse consequences. Regarding implantation of materials, you should rely upon the medical judgment of the physician, the medical device seller, and the FDA. Do not rely upon TFA. Examples of both harmful consequences and lifesaving benefits from the implantation of various materials can be found in published medical articles. Without performing clinical medical studies of an implantable medical device, TFA cannot weigh the benefits against the risks of that device and cannot offer a medical judgment on the safety or efficacy of the use of our material in that device. color="red"> Regardless, once teflon coatings begin to peel, the chemical is breaking down and many authorities more versed in toxicity than I are recommending to toss that pan asap.

Comments (13)Thanks for the tips everyone. I keep going back and forth with All-Clad non-stick, Calphalon stainless and All-Clad stainless (the expensive one.) Some reviews say the non-stick never boils, even when put on high (and you aren't supposed to have to do that). I'm getting ready to bite the bullet and get some All-Clad stainless, expect for maybe the skillets. Any other advice?...See MoreBest Induction Cookware ?
Comments (36)Costco is great! That's a really nice set, with the 11" fry pan and other good sized pieces. Demeyere also makes a set for Sur la Table with the double walled lids that looks nice but I'm sure the Costco has the better deal for essentially the same cookware. I hear you about the weight. I love my Proline skillet but it is indeed heavy, almost like using cast iron. The 5 ply Demeyere will still offer better performance than any All Clad line and should be quite a bit lighter than the Atlantis/Proline. However, if you didn't like the nonstick pans you tried, you may want to avoid Demeyere altogether. The handles are all pretty similar I think unless you go with the John Pawson (which I find sinfully unattractive). I don't love the handle on my Proline skillet--I actually prefer the handle on the All-Clad, the groove helps me stabilize the pan--but there's so much else to love about it that I can live with the handle. It's too short for how heavy the pan is, but I suppose that's what the helper handle is for. I looked up the W-S Thermo Clad recently and can tell you this: it's made in Italy, and it has a wall thickness of 3mm. The wall thickness on the AC D3 (including the compact) is 2.6mm. For the AC, the aluminum layer is 1.7mm thick but I wasn't able to find this out for the Thermo Clad. The thicker walls DO imply that the aluminum layer will also be thicker, but I don't know how much. But they will also be heavier--more like the Demeyere I5, I imagine, which I also think is 3mm. All Clad is perfectly good cookware. I own a ton of it. And all cookware is a compromise. If you want to compromise on the side of lighter weight, AC D3 is one of your very best options, IMO. Also: If you love the le Creuset tri ply, why not go with that?...See Morepmailkeey
