Question about induction cooking-- big pans and non-stick pans
Comments (19)I have had induction almost 2 years now. LOVE IT! I found my large, non-stick skillet at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It is a Farberware. It works great and is holding up great after 2 years of use. My small non-stick skillet I got at TJMaxx - a Tivoli - also holding up well. Both were well under $50 each. Also, I believe you will find that some induction cooktops largest burner is larger on some units than others, and the placement of the largest burner is different depending on the manufacturer. The size and placement of the largest burner was the deciding factor in my purchasing decision. At the time I shopped (there are lots more choices on the market now) I found the 30" GE Profile to have the best for me - one of the largest burners, and placed to the front of the unit (I'm short and don't like to reach over other pans if using my large fry pan). So, that's what I went with and it's been great! I have not found the 30" to be crowded at all - but, again, I think it's because of the way the burners are layed out. Hope these insights help as you shop around. Good Luck!...See MoreGreasing Non-Stick muffin pans
Comments (16)For whatever it's worth: A very kindly middle aged gentleman sales person in the housewares section of a Bed Bath & Beyond told me one day that Pam will ruin non-stick surfaces. He went on to say that most other brands are fine, But never use Pam on any non-stick surface. He also went on about he didn't know why anyone thought they needed anything on non-stick surfaces. But that is neither here nor there, Especially as I am one who thinks something IS needed! So again, for whatever it's worth, I stopped using Pam in my non-stick skillets, & now use a store brand spray. (I read the list of ingredients to make sure it differed) And lo & behold, my currant 'cheapy' non-stick pan is lasting a LOT longer than others I've had in the past. Same brand. But back to the OP's question. I always use liners in muffin tins. No spray, no butter, no grease, etc. Any drops of dough on the pan wipes off easily. I have the Wilton non-stick jumbo size, and love them. I like to use liners because it makes eating out-of-hand so much easier. And the muffins don't look naked. ;>) Rusty...See MoreBest non stick pan for cooking eggs?
Comments (8)The key to getting a nonstick pan to last is to not use more than medium low heat and not use sprays that cause buildup (removed with baking soda paste or BKF). Many people are fans of the regular TFal pans that you can buy at restaurant supply stores or Costco. I have some Zwilling Spirit pans that I use exclusively for eggs and delicate fish, but they are a step up in price. I've also used the Anolon Nouvelle Copper (disk based, very even but they may wear out) and some people are fans of GreenPan Hard Anodized....See MoreNon-stick frying pans recommendations
Comments (19)I refuse to spend a lot for a non-stick skillet and bought a couple from Ikea. I look for a thick disk for even heating as clad tends to be more expensive. I don't have birds but never preheat it when empty, and only on low/med heat. That's the temp I preheat my SS pans, so it's automatic for me. Cast iron or carbon steel are my high heat pans. When they lose their non-stick ability, but aren't peeling, I give them a scrub with baking soda paste. Good as new. The Ikea pans have held up very well for a few years, now. They're used for eggs and reheating leftovers (best way to crisp up pizza crust and melt the cheese!)...See Moresocks
