HHmm I might have paid up to $70 for it, I don't think I paid more than that though.

Pots are a mixture of different sets (mainly what we buy from garage sales and thrift stores). I want the flap jack skillet for myself (I love chocolate chip pancakes).

For those who own pet birds, be very careful about Teflon coated cookware. If the cookware gets overheated it emits a gas that can actually kill your pet bird.

That one is close, mine has a non stick surface inside.

Okay mine looks like this one, but it's a 13 inch, not an 8 inch.

Status: offline 		First I want to thank you all for your feedback. In an effort to communicate better with you, I have done a little research about cookware.
Kohls Types of Pans
Recipe.com Types of Cookware
Wikipedia - Cookware and bakeware
So rest assured that you are helping someone that is truly trying to help himself but found a dead end.

The Victim


My slave called the victim of my abuse (the burnt pan, not my slave) a 5 quart chicken fryer. All the chicken fryers I found have flared sides. So it's like Chef's pan with straight sides or a 2 1/2 inch deep Sautéing Pan. They have a pan called a Jumbo Cooker that has straight sides and the extra handle just like it.

Do you want to go professional grade, or stay within the home kitchen market?

A lot of pro grade stuff is the same as the really good home kitchen stuff except without the comfort handles because they aren't as durable. So high end home kitchen market is the niche.

Also, they call it a deep saute pan, which is what I would call it. (Not a fry pan).

However, it's a great pan and I'd love to own it.

Ooooh that is nice. Looks about the same too. I like the 4 quart: http://www.amazon.com/All-Clad-Copper-Core-3-Quart-Saute/dp/B00005AL1L/ref=pd_sim_k_4

ETA: Wish it was a non-stick surface.

Status: offline 		No Cast Iron
But thank you for the suggestions. Her 12 inch stainless steel pan weighs 4lbs 12 oz (yes I actually weighed it). It isn't the weight that she doesn't like about cast iron. She doesn't like them because for her, food sticks to them. Me, I love cast iron and as mentioned, "I have cast iron pans, but she isn't too fond of cooking in them.” I have had Griswold, Wagner and some vintage Benjamin Medwin pans from my grandmother.

I also recall her mentioning (yes, I actually remember things my slave says about her preferences) that the cast iron doesn't heat up the same as her stainless steel pan did. I think I figured out why. Some cast iron pans (my Griswalds) have a raised ring/ridge on the bottom.


Over a gas flame or nestled flat onto a samller electric coil, it has full contact with the heat. But on our glass top stove, 99% of the pan doesn't contact the cooktop like the flat bottom of her stainless steel pan does. I think this is why the pans don't work as well for her. She puts the food in too early because her internal timer is set to when the steel pan is ready and the iron takes longer to reach a good cooking temperature.

Does she have a cast iron black skillet?
It's old school but it cooks soooo damn good!


If she's wanting something newer, get the one that's green, I forget the name of it, but it really is amazing. My mom has one, she swears by it. It's the one advertised on TV.

The cast iron coated in enamel is pretty good stuff, and a little bit of both worlds.

quote:

ORIGINAL: kalikshama
I lost two cast iron pans in my move from Florida and replaced one of them with a Bobby Flay pre-seasoned cast iron skillet from Kohl's. I find it is more non-sticky than my older pans.

Sure, you have to use some oil with cast iron, but I believe the superior results are worth the extra calories.

quote:

ORIGINAL: KYsissy

If you can find a Griswold cast iron skillet that would be great if she likes cast iron. As with any collectible, there are fakes being made. If the cooking surface isnt smooth or it coats $10, it is probably a fake.


Wow . . . they are making some nice stuff nowadays. Amazon cast iron enamel coated pans

Status: offline 		Cast iron does take longer to heat up. I'm getting old enough that the weight of mine is now becoming an issue.

The All Clad, stainless over copper, is an awesome pan and personally I would love to find it under the tree.

However, I would take her to the nearest restaurant supply house and let her try them out. Different pans balance differently, not so much a good/bad issue as just what feels good in your hand.

I have an omelet pan from Swiss Diamond, that I considered the best non stick pan I have, however, there are other very good non stick pans at more reasonable prices. I suggest cooking.com as a place to start.

If you have an induction stove, you need to get pains specifically for that type of stove.

I really like this 11' saute pan. http://swissdiamond.us/standard-collection/saute-pans/nonstick-square-grill-saute-pan-11-x-11-inch.html
Are the handles metal? I can't tell from the product shot. If the handle has thermal barrier or made of rubber/plastic it would be a nice pan. Thanks for the tip.

Go to Bed Bath and Beyond. Calphalon is now making frying pans with ceramic coating inside. A set of 2 costs about $50. Calphalon is known to make a good cooking equipment. I got my first frying pan with ceramic coating a year ago. Loved it so much that I gave away my expensive frying pans. Living in a motor home you only have room for so much stuff.

The Calphalon pans are real nice. The high end stuff is $149.00 for a 12' omelet pan and low end stuff is about $49.00 a pan. Unfortunately, both teh high end and low end stuff has metal handle, but thank you so much forthe suggestion. Calphalon link

Unless they've stopped making the one that was burned, buy her the exact. Same. One. If they don't sell it anymore, take the burnt pan to your closest culinary/kitchen supply store and ask them what is the closest thing they have to it and buy that.

I know you're looking for opinions on what works best for folks but since it is all opinion, Mine is not to mess with a woman's cookware. She knows exactly why she preferred that one.

I am using the old pan as a reference and doing the footwork online. Since so many of the really good pans have metal handles, I may just end up asking for her input about it. Thanks for the suggestions and the Orgreenics tip.

I agree. I am *serious* about my cookware, and like to buy professional grade for those things I use often.

My big non-stick frying pan is a "Bakers and Chefs" that I got at Sam's Club for around $50.

I like copper bottoms on stainless steel for pots, but again that's *MY* preference.

I do think it's very sweet you want to buy it as a gift.

My mom taught me to cook on the Revere Ware copper bottom pans. I will never forget scrubbing the hell out of those things to keep the bottoms shiny. I cooked on Revere Ware for many years.

I tend to use stainless steel. My husband has fried a few of my pans and my SS ones are the only ones I can salvage. They're the safest option for my house.
If I were to go outside that, I'd get a cast iron like the others recommended, but that's just me.
If my husband were to replace a pan instead of giving money or gift card to replace it, I'd be thrilled. And I know he wouldn't just go out and pick the first thing he saw. He'd do his research much like you're doing.

She likes steel too. The pan I killed was stainless with non-stick coating. Thanks for the affirmation that a gift is more intimate than cash or a gift certificate.

I'd go to a restaurant supply house and buy 3 or 4 nonstick pans for the price of 1 name brand. Non stick is mostly good for cooking fish and eggs so you don't need much more than a pan shaped object with a resin coating. Since all the coatings wear out I'd go for restaurant grade. Last time I bought them I got 4 omelette pans for around $15 each.

Thanks for the good idea. Unfortunately I am not close to a city so no restaurant supply house handy. I will either find it at the local little mall with Best Buy, Target and a Bed Bath & Beyond or ay amazon.com.

I bought the NuWave skillet (with a nonstick surface) system thinking it would give me temperature controls that my stovetop skillet does not.
One of them burned the nonstick surface IMO when I set it at top temperature to cook a steak. I know the nonstick surface changed color. The company sold it with a one year warranty. When I wrote them they sent me instructions on seasoning the pan, but failed to live up to the advertised guarantee.

It has been a bad choice as far as I am concerned.

Thanks for the warning about Nuwave.

I killed my slave's favorite frying pan (burnt it). It was a stainless steel Weaver with an extra thick bottom and Teflon coating. I have cast iron pans, but she isn't too fond of cooking in them. So I am looking to buy her a new pan.

I have no experience with all these newer non-stick resin coatings and green pans. Any suggestions for great non-stick pan?



I loooooove my ceramic fry pan. It's as easy to clean as the no-stick and you don't have to worry about fumes.

Thank you for the ceramic tip. Paula Deen makes a gorgeous line of ceramic pots. I saw them in person at her store when we ate at in her restaurant. They seemed like really nice quality for reasonable prices. Our accent color in the house is red so a red ceramic pan would look very nice. She makes a 12' chicken fryer for $70 on sale for around $50.

The non-stick aspect on stainless with thermal handle has been a taller order to fill. However, you seem to have found a real nice pan with five bonded layers - two of which are aluminum for even heating, dripless pouring and stay-cool handle. Nice find. Thank you.

I've only used plastic utensils on it, and have not put it in the dishwasher.

http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1503308/simply-calphalon-12-in-nonstick-covered-jumbo-skillet.jsp

The sides are a little less vertical than the one you're replacing. It's heavy and durable.

If you order it online and have a Kohl's charge, you can get an additional 30% off if you use this promo code: TURKEY30
