New pots and pans

Mom2Dogs — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 23:50:47 GMT

I really need to replace my skillets. I have no idea what to purchase, anyone one want to tell me what they like and would purchase again? What I have is non stick, which is no longer non stick.

I still have one piece of Reere Ware, that was my moms, it has worn like iron! It's a double boiler.

thanks for any advice.

I buy my non-stick skillets at Costco. They wear well for quite a while, and are reasonably priced.

We replace skillets as needed ( no sets ). Last week we bought a non stick Calphelon fromTjmaxx for $39 and DH is getting a 3 quart Breville ,covered (Amazon $80). Our older son, who is a professional chef, is getting a 5 quart covered Breville, also from Amazon. Bedevilled makes great appliances and pans ; we already own the 5 quarter covered Breville we are also giving to son.

I have been happy with the Calphalon and OXO brands. I try to get Calphalon at Home Goods and got a good deal on OXO at Kohl's awhile back.

I splurged but got a set of Green Pan. It is really nice but I also treated myself to a made in skillet wow never had anything like it. I will be buying the other sizes of nonstick skillet in this brand. The Green Pan is light weight great non stick and easy clean up. The made in skillet I got in the 8 inch and I never had a egg skillet like this. Not heavy and it just cooks beautifully. Read reviews. Good luck.

@Mom2Dogs I also have some 1940s/50s RevereWare. Still like new. Unbelievable.

I find I only need nonstick skillets. For everything else, stainless steel is fine.

I live alone and have purchased an 8" fry pan, a 6" grill pan and a 6" griddle. I use them frequently. Quick to wash!

Have fun making your decision.

The Ninja NeverStick pans are excellent. My friend owns an entire set and she said they are the best pans she's ever cooked with. She has owned many brands, too. The NeverStick pans come with a lifetime warranty. How many other pans have that? The reviews are stellar and if I needed new pans I would buy them.

Recently I had a 40% off at Kohls. I bought 2 Ninja skillets and I love them!

I also have a small, 10 in, skillet/griddle pan that I got at Costco. It was under $20 and is a brand called The Rock. I love it for making grilled cheese sandwiches and eggs. My Costco still has them.

@Mom2Dogs Check out Our Place, and their Always pan. It is on sale now, but they are running out of colors. They only have two pieces and I have both and really like them.

Here is their description:

THE ALWAYS PAN REPLACES YOUR
fry pan, saute pan, steamer, skillet, saucier, saucepan, non-stick pan, spatula, and spoon rest.

WITH THE ALWAYS PAN, YOU CAN
braise, sear, steam, strain, saute, fry, boil, serve, store - you get the picture.

The pans are light weight and can be used on any cooktop.

You can't go wrong with Curtis Stone.

I purchased the Henckels Capri Notte Granitium 3 pc Fry Pan Set at Costco and am very pleased with them. I use them all the time, practically daily.

I bought Curtis Stone skillets this year and really love them. They heat evenly and clean easily. I have a set of three and love them. My old skillets were cal-halon and I like these better.

I bought the Member's Mark nonstick set at Sam's in 2009. Since then, I have had to replace the 5 qt. saute pan and the 6 qt. Dutch oven, because the nonstick finally wore out after heavy use. I bought replacement pieces at TJ Maxx and paid around $80 just for the two replacement pieces. Everything else is still going strong. We recently got a Costco, so I am going to let my Sam's Club membership expire, but before it does, I am going to pick up another Member's Mark set. At $129 for as many pieces as you get, this will be cheaper for me than buying more replacement pans, as I sometimes need 2 5-qt. saute pans going at once and am now down to one. The one I bought a TJ Maxx is the Calphalon brand, but I don't like it nearly as well as the Sam's brand. It is not as deep even though the bottom says 5-qt. I love the Sam's Club set and highly recommend if you're in the market for non-stick! Here is a photo of it:

Curtis Stone is my fave--he duapan surface is really great---can be pricey tho--I got all mine when they were the TS on HSN

Find one that has nonstick coating on the rivet heads too! Curtis Stone is a great pan, but if you get anything on the rivets it is difficult to scrub off!

I haven't cooked anything in a stainless steel pot or skillet in a long time and I have tons of All Clad bought new over 30 years.

I have a 4.5 qt. Le Creuset Soup pot and one just a little smaller on the stove and amost everything gets cooked in those. I have a larger wider Staub pot with a steamer insert we leave out too, and we use it all the time.

These are SO easy to clean up, look beautiful and do soups, veggies, stews, chilis, etc. We use non stick for eggs, and Le Creuset skillets and grills all the time. The grills make the best cornbread and the ridges are great for it. We preheat in the over, fill with batter and pop back in the oven.

You might spend a few moments searching YouTube for current reviews (check the age of it) of new lines. I always look for the real people unboxing and reviews of products I am thinking of purchasing more helpful than vendors selling their products.
