Pot and pan recommendation
Posted on 2/27/25 at 9:14 am

I have probably given my family cancer from using our pots and pans too long. I am looking for a recommendation to replace them, not top end but we do cook a lot.

I have been very happy with my Made In stuff. I have both a dutch oven and non stick pans. For stainless stuff all clad is hard to beat.

I saw hexclad yesterday at Costco. It wasn't as expensive as I thought. Are they any good?

What is the right amount of time to use a pan?

In reality, the case says, the Made In Cookware products at issue have a non-stick coating that contains polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a chemical known more commonly by the brand name Teflon and belonging to the same family as PFOA and PFAS. According to the filing, both PFOA and PFAS are used in the production of PTFE.

Agreed. And Tramontina is the knock-off version and just as good IMO.

Made In and Caraway and other such brands have full lines of "non-stick" ceramic now that don't have any PFAS or whatever. My wife and her friends are obsessed with purging all such things from our house which is annoying.
The Made In ceramic coated pans are pretty nice and pretty non-stick, but if you're not gentle they will chip. Ours already have a handful of tiny marks and they're maybe 4 months old. We have well-maintained cast iron and All Clad pieces too, but I prefer to do most things in the ceramic pans for now.
I don't think they'll last that long and ultimately I'll probably revert back to other stuff for everyday use as I don't want to buy new ones every year, but I am enjoying them for the time being.

I don't know the recommended time but stuff started chipping off the bottom of the ones I have.

Ahh, I guess you are talking about non stick pans. I tend to use stainless steel and have not run into this problem.

Don't know about that product, but I've had a few "clad" sets in my 72 years and it's inevitable they will start to lose their coating over time.
I few years ago I went with heavy duty stainless steel pots and pans and have not looked back. They will outlast me for sure, even if I was 42 instead of 72. Between them and the several pieces of cast iron I have, I'm set till I'm worm food.

We have the Anolon Accolade set and it works well and is sturdy.

We got some pans from Our Place a few months ago, and they have been outstanding. The don't have the coating that other non-stick pans do.
The other thing that stands out to me is the weight. The Our Place pots and pans are made of ceramic coated aluminum, so they are very light. They also other features - lips for pouring, lids that allow you to strain, handles that are made to hold a wooden spoon, etc.
Good stuff.

We have Made-In non-stick pans and love them. I know they are Teflon coated, but the guts of the pan is as good as it gets.
I do think get too excited about the Our Place standard product line thay are light. I like my plans to have some meat to them. They do have a new titanium coated three-ply pan that looks interesting though.

Have had the hexclad set for two years and love it. Cooks great and extremely easy to clean. Highly recommend.

I wait for the sale that all clad puts on a few times a year. Then you get great stainless pans for usually half the price. I have a couple(6qt and 13qt) Dutch ovens from le creuset. And for non stick I go to Costco or Sam's. Buy the cheap set of 2 or 3 and toss them once a year or so.

We have a set of le creuset stainless and cast iron.
Both are great.
Both are great.

If you detect any flecks in the coating. The irony here is that people push for expensive arse pans, which makes people more likely to hold onto them too long. Just get your nonstick egg pan for $12 from Sam's, keep a backup, and recycle it every 10-11 months. Replacing any pans was 100% from my ex-mil who refused to use anything but metal utensils no matter the cookware.

I bought a HexClad 12" fry pan in November. I like it. A LOT!
They tell you that you need to season it. Just don't be an idiot like me and season it like a cast iron pan. lol.
Just follow the instructions. exactly. It's really simple and fast.
