Best and longest lasting non-stick cookware?

[Deactivated] on 27/09/2015 - 11:43

I wanted to know what the best and longest lasting non-stick cookware is for frypans.

I have heard that it is the dark coloured stuff (not stainless steel) - bare cast iron - and that the best of these is Lodge cookware. However I have found a brand called Kookaburra that is cheaper than Lodge.

The other type I have heard is good is hard anodised cookware, and that the best of these is Circulon Symmetry cookware. However, I have found a cheaper alternative in Tefal.

Do you know of any better quality brands? Which brand is best? Also, should I just go for the cheaper versions? Please share your knowledge and experiences with me :-)

    I was fed up with so called non stick frypans and their coating coming off etc.. so I asked a chef what would he recommend… he said stainless steel. I scored a top quality 30cm and 24cm from a recent Aldi special and very pleased with them.
    There is a knack to cooking with stainless steel frypans, have a look on YouTube for the tips.

    I use cast iron and stainless, just focus on your temps when cooking, get that right and nothing will stick

    I thought Scanpan would be good, they have been terrible. I thought Le Creuset would be good, also terrible…it formed wierd hard bubbles and I have never used it above the medium heat.

    I am not looking at getting a stainless steel one. I was given a Scanpan stainless steal with a copper base crepe pan and while it is non stick, it is amazing how things just wipe off it. So I am on the lookout for a good deal on a large on of these…

    I bought tefal couple years ago and i was using it regularly, i found it to be really good but the issue its not really "Non-stick" things can get stuck easily and cleaning oily things can be hard. Today i bought new frying pan from David jones; brand called Raco: its made from Ceramic original price $79.95 reduced to $39(30CM), there is sticker saying "30 day money back guarantee" so im expecting if things getting stuck within the next 30 days im going to return it :).

    "If for any reason you are unsatisfied with your purchase, simply return the product for a full refund. RACO stands behind its product, and this guarantee confirms that RACO truly is brand you can trust. The guarantee is subject to:
    -Being offered to the original purchaser of the product only;
    -Is valid 30 working days from the date of purchase and
    -Proof of purchase is required to ensure validity of a claim"
    So yeah i would say give them a try and if you dont like them just return it(Maybe they will ask you to pay return postage im unsure)

    About 6 months ago we got a couple of Circulon frypans. I am really happy with them- they still look as they did when new, they work great and they are dishwasher friendly (ie they actually say they can be washed in a dishwasher). Plus they have a lifetime warranty in case anything does go wrong.

    Scanpan is shit! Do NOT buy!

    I really love Anolon. Bit more exxy but worth it.

      I bought a scan pan set many years ago, and it looks like it could have been bought yesterday.. They've seen heavy use, and have never been treated particularly well. I also have a few of their stainless steal items which have also performed brilliantly.

      My brother and parents have the same set, and have never had any issues either.
