Is ther a Teflon coated frying pan that lasts?

Answer 1

Read the small print on your Teflon pan. It says not to be used where there
are small pets. eg. birds. They use birds in mines to gauge how safe it is
for the miners. If the birds die then it is not safe for humans. Therefore,
I would not use a pan that might kill my bird. It doesn' t take a genius to
figure these things out. You just have to think for yourself. If your pan is
losing it's Teflon where do you think it is ending up? Could it be you are
walking around with a Teflon coated tummy?

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by lasts? Try T-Fal pots and pans. The higher heat from frying seems to cause something to go wrong. Plus you must be careful to not scratch with metal spatulas or spoons. I have learned to use lower temps when possible and not be in such hurry to cook up burgers or bacon and the frying pan lasts longer. Also have learned that the heavier the Alum. pans that spread out the heat evenly seem to last longer. They make some plastic spatulas and spoons that are much better than they used to make which protect the Teflon surface. I am very happy with my T-Fal set that I got from SAM's and have had them about 8 years and they are holding up nicely.

Answer 3

My Teflon lasts but I use only bamboo spoons and or utensils that say they are for Teflon and then when I am not using them I put towels in between them when I stack them. Also If you invest in a really good set of pans I think it lasts longer. Just remember to get rid of it when it starts to chip.

buy yourself a cast iron skillet to do your frying.. after it is seasoned (where you have to sort of burn on an oil coating into the fresh iron inside) it creates a sort of non stick natural coating.. My grandmother used one for like 40years.. for my wedding gift, she gave me a brand new one.. I have used it for a few years.. You cant scour it clean with a metal scratcher or it will remove the natural coating, but what I do is soak it a bit in hot sudsy water, drain it, and sprinkle some salt in the bottom and with a good wiping it comes clean.. dry it immediately so it wont rust.. get a kleenex or bounty kitchen towel and lightly coat it with cooking oil (not a lot, just very lightly) wipe it again and store.. It will keep its non stick surface forever.. (Also you get the added benefit of iron in your food)

Answer 5

With constant use, they all wear out, but I have a T-Fal pan Ive been using sparingly for over 6 years.
