Hi, I have been having a problem finding a non-stick pan that does not peel. After a few uses and washings all of the pans I have tried start to peel. I have tried many different brands in different price ranges but always have the peeling problem. Should I forget non-stick pans and use regular pans or does someone have a good brand this does not happen with? I appreciate your help.

Why do you need non-stick?? :huh: I use the stainless steel by Bella Cuisine. Nothing sticks once you spray Pam all over it. I've had them for yeeeeaaarrs and I expect I'll have them til I'm dead. Nothing peels. I worry about chemicals in non-stick pots and pans, *apparently not many people care about that issue* ;) so I don't recommend them to anyone. Plus, as you have found out, they fall apart. What good is that? Seems like a racket to me when you can manufacture something to fall apart causing the need for the consumer to buy it again. <_<

Well I never worried about the chemicals until the finish started peeling . I'm just not a worrier. I do use Pam, but when cooking at high heat it becomes hard to get the Pam off. It's great at keeping the foods from sticking, but sometimes if I overspray and get it on a part of the pan not covered by food the Pam sticks to the Pan. I hope this is making sense, it is hard to explain! I guess I will try the stainless steel, so thanks. I have never heard of Bella though. I wish my pots were available as pans, cause they are great. And for some things I have been using Pyrex dishes and CorningWare, so I really need something else!

I use a little Ajax to get the burnt on Pam off. Anyway, QVC that tv shopping channel, aways touts their "Cooks Essentials" line of cookware as the best on the whole damn planet. It is NON-STICK. They also have a 30 day money back guarentee which I've tested *not on pots*, but they're very reputable. You could purchase a single Cooks Essentials pot from QVC, use it to death for 30 days and see if it falls apart. If it does, they'll refund your money. And they do it promptly. Don't listen to me about chemicals in non-stick cookware. I'm crazy. My friends would tell you the same. I'll keep my craziness to myself from now on. :blink:

Ok. This is not crazy...it's totally true. I was using Corningware or Pyrex...The big clear glass, lasagna type of tray in the oven. I took it out of the oven, put it on the counter and the thing BLEW UP. Shattered into a hundred million pieces. I'd turned around to close the oven door, otherwise I'd have gotten a face full of shards of glass. My kids were sitting in the dining room and they screamed from the sound of the exploding glass. :o

I'm NOT making that up. I'm a navy wife and have just recently met a woman who told me the same thing happened to her several years ago. I've since replaced all of my glass bakingware with various oven safe pots and pans from Ikea. Ok. I'm done now. :wacko:

Are you scrubbing the non-stick pans? If any metal utensils or scouring pad or scouring material of any kind is being used on the pan, that may be the reason they are peeling. I've never had a non-stick pan peel as long as I don't use ANYTHING abrasive on it. (I also don't cook at REALLY high heat with non-stick, as it is more likely to release noxious fumes at that point. I'm overly careful because I have a bird and birds will drop dead in a heartbeat from those fumes. (I'm not exagerrating, unfortunately.))

I've got one Calphalon non-stick griddle for pancakes and tortillas (really, that's the only thing it's allowed to be used for). Other than that, I've stuck with their anodized aluminum, and as long as you deglaze the pan, use plenty of oil, and all those other good cooking techniques, I haven't had a problem keeping them clean. (Of course, paying attention to the rule not to put a bunch of cold water into a piping hot pan - it can warp the metal, particularly on the Calphalon ones.)

I have calaphon anodized cookware at home, but using Pam on them will ruin them, so I have one teflon type nonstick pan we use for quick and easy dinners. Can't remember the brand--I bought it at Target. I do not worry about the pan till it starts peeling either, and unless someone is cutting in the pan with a knife or using a metal utensil, it should last for a long time. For my calaphon pans, instead of pam, I have a atomizer sprayer I put olive oil in and spray that pan with that. Pam is convienent, but I hate how it "gums up" cookware, even bakeware.

I know what you mean about pyrex "blowing up" so to speak. I poured boiling water in a large measuring cup and it fell apart in thousands of pieces. I guess the cup was too cold or something, but you are supposed to be able to take those things from fridge to stove. I will admit the cup was pretty old, but still, you really don't expect it. :huh:

I don't like pam because of the burned on effect, but also the fact that the spray residue gets on everything. Especially when my husband uses it. It's all over the sink and cupboards and even the kitchen curtains, which are just over the sink. To be sure, he doesn't pay much attention to what he's doing with it, but I prefer to use either olive oil or grape seed oil.

And I do use non-stick pans and have little problem with them peeling. You must not use metal utensils in them, and things like pork chop bones, if they aren't thawed out properly will mar them. But use them properly and they will last a long time. :)

I have bought even the expensive non stick pans with the 75 yr warranty on the coatings and they did not hold up. They are no longer non stick after just a year and a half. As soon as I can afford it, I am going to try the 18/10 stainless good stuff (I got a cheap set last year and they were useless because they did not have the heavy bottom insert thing).

Our non-stick pans are starting to die now after 7 years of use... what brand you all use that you DO like?

I have not been online for a few days, but I am back. I am sort of glad that I am not the only one who has problems with the non-stick pans. I do wish the problems did not come up at al for anyone though! But really, I totally thought it was me so I am glad its not.

Vydorscope, what pans do you have that lasted 7 years? It would be a blessing for me if they lasted one year.

I do not have prblems with non-stick pots, just the pans. It is really disgusting to cut a piece of cake for my daughter and find a big piece of the coating on it. I did use an abrasive once and then threw out the pan. I will not make that mistake again. I have heard stories about the Pyrex breaking, never heard about the CorningWare. I have had my corning 13 years, but I cannot bake cookies, etc. in it.

I use Cirulon pots without problem. Anyone tried the bakeware?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
