Hi,
My 20 year old inexpensive non-stick frying pan started getting scratched so
I thought I'd get a new one. The old one worked great - a bit of oil and I
could flip my fried eggs over with a flick of the wrist and when done they
just slid off the pan and onto my toast. I rarely used any utensils - that's
why it lasted so long I suppose. I bought an equally inexpensive pan
recently and my eggs don't slide off. I have to use a turner to get them off
with lots of bits left behind on the pan.
I am wondering what happened in the last 20 years? I looked on the internet
and saw that the "food-release" properties of the cheap pans are not as good
as the more expensive one. But that doesn't explain why my 20 year old
inexpensive pan works great.
Are there any brands of non-stick cookware which will work like my old pan
where the fried eggs just slide off?
In the stores they have saute pans, skillets, and frying pans. Is there
really a difference?
Thanks

An educated consumer can do well at WalMart. They carry some
Tramontina pans that are excellent.

Hi,
Thanks for all the advice. I bought an Analon 8 inch frying pan and it works
even better than my old one. I used to have to shake the pan to release the
eggs but with the new pan they are not even sticking to that small extent.
What made me select that brand was the 60 day gurantee - try it for 60 days
and if you don't like it you can return it to the place of purchase.

I don't think Teflon was every used more than experimentally, and only then
as a bullet lubricant as the designers were trying to overcome the excess
barrel wear associated with their actual primary design, a solid brass
bullet. It has no impact on the terminal ballistics.
The real high velocity rifle guys use molybdenum disulfide coated bullets to
reduce barrel wear, but again, no impact on terminal ballistics.
Neither one "kills cops" or does anything else that anti-gun paranoics
believe.
