Anti stick pans

[Anonymous No.6852520]

What is there to look out for in pots and pans, particularly in preventing food from sticking to it?

Just get a good Teflon Pan

[Anonymous No.6852550]

Make sure they have nonstick quality so food doesn't stick as easily to them and you will be good to go OP

[Anonymous No.6852564]

And once you have a non stick pan don't be a retard and scratch the fucker up.

Use heat resistant plastic tools not metal !

This too. I like wooden utensils mostly. They are strong and sturdy and don't flex and don't scratch. Just my preference though. There Are lots of good types out there

keep your heat lower. The only time my range top goes above 5 is when I'm trying to boil water

Pick 2

Cast Iron:
Season the fuck out of it. Then season it some more.
Be careful going above Medium heat on an electric element, heating the pan up too fast will warp it.
Don't ever let your roommate touch it or it will instantly explode into rust.

Teflon:
Never scratch the coating, chips of teflon in your food is bad.
Never go above Medium heat: seriously, the coating is stable at low heat but will separate into carcinogenic fluoride gasses when you crank it up. It will outright kill any birds you have in the home.

Ceramic:
Baby the fuck out of it. Try not to even stack other pans on top of it.
It's nonstick as fuck while smooth, but instantly goes to utter shit when scratched.

why do you even go on this board? further, how the fuck do you feel it necessary to push your stupidity onto other people

your cast iron warps? The fuck are you buying, 1cm thick skillets?
I run my cast iron at max heat 99% of the time for a proper sear and I have NEVER had it warp, either at home or at work.

I find any thick pan will warp, no matter what it's made of.
Although if work is making you use an electric element then it's time to find a new job.

[Anonymous No.6853053]

>>6853033
LOL. why would anyone ever use and electric element?
also when has an electric element ever heated up fast?
If youre talking about induction the you have zero knowledge of it.
Cast Iron wont warp under a fast high heat. Thats why you can keep a skillet for decades.
I think youre getting an iron pan confused with a cast iron pan. One cost $10 the other $70+

I just dont get what youre talking about, I mean the energy alone to bend a skillet or warp the metal on it is HUGE way more than could be out by a domestic oven. even my ones at work have never damaged a pan...

"Since the compositions of most cast irons are around the eutectic point of the iron–carbon system, the melting temperatures closely correlate, usually ranging from 1,150 to 1,200 °C (2,100 to 2,190 °F), which is about 300 °C (572 °F) lower than the melting point of pure iron."

Not everyone has a gas line, bruh.

>also when has an electric element ever heated up fast?
When ever you set it on High.
Mine goes from cold to cooking pancakes in seconds.

I am not.

Go look at the ancient pans in a garage sale or thrift store some time, you'll note a lot of them are wobbly or refuse to season evenly.

because that's what they got in their apartments maybe?

My skillet was my grandmas, I think you just buy shitty pans and dont know how to use them.
Also 99% of "ancient pans in a garage sale" are aluminium and not cast iron.
Unless your stove is putting out 1000C then you have never been close enough to softening the metal on a cast iron pan enough to warp. you have no idea what youre talking about.
show me some evidence.

That's irrelevant, I'm specifically talking about the ones that are cast iron.

so you have a photo of a pan that has been treated poorly, where is the warping? season the pan and its good to go.

the skillet is tiny, it also looks like its a hunk of trash. So, from what youve written and shown me, you buy shitty old pans from yard sales, dont season them correctly and dont care for them.

Yeah wikipedia, where do you get your source material from, youtube...?

LOL read the comments you spastic! no one agress with him about cast iron warping. sorry I dont get my info from THE CULINARY FANATIC... what a joke.

[Anonymous No.6853125]

I left my cast iron pan in an active volcano and forgot about it for a couple days. It didn't warp, so I don't know what the fuck you are on about

>not putting your cast iron on the stove at 10 so when you throw your frozen chicken breast into the pan it bursts into flames

[Anonymous No.6853534]

So cast iron or teflon?

If you want non-stick a cheap pan from walmart will do the trick. Teflon is hands down the best nonstick pan on the market properly heat it and properly cook the food and nothing will stick.
