Frying pan?

Mine has an attitude, has yet to revolt.
At times I'm thinking the revolt would be a welcomed change.

So tell us..... which does Pan Lady prefer? Does she need the welded, or do the riveted pans hold up when she smacks you upside the head?

Just asked her.
after a brief test (thanks alot) she has decided that the welded is ok, but the cast iron is really the best.



anyone know if you should put Ice or pressure on an open head wound?

I'm looking for an 8" saute pan and found one there.
Got it home and once out of the package, the handle was heavier than the pan. Sitting level it leaned back on the handle and it took 4 eggs to balance it out.
Took it back :lol:
Since I got my new stove/oven, stove with the flat cooktop, I'm seeing how all my skillets are not level. :lol: Had to go get a few new ones that are flat underneath and balanced.

Just put something under the handle to prop it up even.

Before we got our new pans after buying the glasstop a few years back, It was a major engineering feat to cook anything.
how many eggs can you fit in 1 square inch of pan edge. :killingme

Just a general comment, not directed at you but your typical, cheaper, teflon coated pans or any lightweight pan will warp fairly quickly. You need to invest in some good, heavy-duty cookware with thick bottoms that don't warp. It's expensive, but it's worth it. We've had the Cook's hard-annodized aluminum cookware for about 4 years and so far, it still sits flat on the cooktop.

Got a few stainless steel that work great except the dayum frying pan. I don't really use the stovetop enough to warrant buying a whole new set of pots and pans. Most of my cooking is done in the oven and I love the convection oven. Other cooking is done in an electric skillet or outside on the grill. :shrug:

I hate my SS fry pan and and seriously considering throwing it in the woods.

Cast iron, my man. One way to go. I hate the others because they all have a tendency to warp up in the middle while cooking.

The only time I have warped a pan is when I stuck it in the sink and hit it with cold water while it was still hot.

I have my Mother-in-law's Revereware (goes back to the 1940's) -- copper-bottom, beats everything else we've got, hand-down! Now THAT's good stuff! Try local resale shops or ebay. I am still amazed at how easy it is to clean up when dishwashing (no dishwasher, at least not an electric one -- ours is human-powered!).
I have OLD Revere Ware too. My Father use to work for them when it was located in Rome New York, both my Grandfather's worked for them too. It's amazing that the stuff is still around. You can get it pretty cheap too, at Thrift Stores or Yard Sales (mentioned in an earlier Post). It is by far..the BEST! A couple of my Pans are from 1949, when my Parents married.

I hate this glass top stove. I really wish it would die so I can replace it....most appliances seem to not last like they used to, but this one is 12 years old.

I think because I hate it, it will last forever.
