"Have you ever bought one of these products that actually works?
They all work... its just sometimes the customer is not capable of working out how to use them properly...
"

Non stick pans are affected ted quite badly by the same thing that ruins most pans.
Being heated too high too fast most will stick the pan on the hob then whack it to full all but the most seriously built pans will warp after a few rounds of this.
You're meant to heat them up gently. So that the side walls expand at a similar rate to the base and it isn't forced to bow upwards.
At some point I really would like to cast my own iron cookware set exactly how I like it. And get an induction hob |

"It's the non- stick stuff not very malleable?
I get how that's bad bit general shape of the pan, but not why it's makes stuff stick?"
It helps crack the coating as it's expanding unevenly.
Then when you clean or you remove a bit more of it an open the cracks. And when your string etc and slowly stuff starts working it's way under neath till its eventually exposing metal and undercoat which will stick.
Some are better than others though.
Pans with a copper insert in the base tend to work will as the spread the heat quickly and evenly but that's more for ceramic or electric hobs than glass ones which make even contact.
Induction hobs though cause they heat the actual pan not the the hob offer so many possibilities could have cast in reinforcing thickeners the base of a cast iron pan that would make it almost invincible to mistreatment |

Teflon though is amazing outside e of the pan world it was used on giant wedge shaped sliders to slowly move out a bridge in France iirc section by section due to its amazingly low coefficient of friction. Thousands of tons of pressure and these two mating faces coated in Teflon just glided over each other.
It's where the tefal brand gets its name the pans are aluminium coated in Teflon.
Teflon- aluminium
Tef-al
Bur aluminium while a better thermal conductor than iron or steel isn't as good as copper and is softer so warps more easily than iron, steel or copper but is much lighter and cheaper than the alternatives |

Do you make pans or sell them? Its just that you have a lot of knowledge for a guy on pans a LOT of knowledge! |

I did chemistry at uni before changing to materials science so I have quite a fascination for materials and especially metals. Ended up leaving uni and now build aeroplanes for a living so still work a lot with aluminium and composites.
But tbh my faverate is iron and steel but I do have a bit of a soft spot for polymers but you can't really play with them at home much so mostly metals.
It's sad but i really want to be one of those mad scientist/engineer types that lives in the garage when I grow up :p

"Ceramic pans are the future... forget teflon and all the science stuff.. nothing sticks to the ceramic pans...
"
Cracks though if it's bonded to a metal. |

It makes a change from the guys who can only fry eggs in one and I would go along with the cast iron one as they are so much better. |

Heh I've yet to make a hollandaise sauce I'm happy with though.
Make a killer Welsh rarebit though :p |

"Just spent £30 on a Wilkinsons 26" stainless steel sauté pan. Can be used on all heat sources. Who needs a frying pan
Still need a skillet :p
Why? I have a cast iron griddle pan as well."
Ah good man :D
I was simply worried about those poor steaks being brutalised in a sauté pan :p
A good thick cast iron pan holds so much heat it's just brilliant for cooking meat cuts in. |

I'm having teething problems with the toilet's artificial gravity in my Moonraker space station - huge fucking mess last time I went. I'm tempted to take it back to the shop... either that or have them all executed in my shark pool... bastards.
