IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!

So relatable! I too cook with pans in the kitchen!

[dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works]

I think you've misspelled cast iron. Or maybe carbon steel?

I do want some stainless skillets, but specifically to stick fond in from meat searing, not to replace nonstick. It's for actually the opposite purpose.

[dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works]

The first one is funny, this one is potentially fatal to morons. I guess I gotta draw the line and downvote

Wok**

This doesn't seem like linux.

[kbobabob@lemmy.world]

I'd put mine up against any nonstick pan.

[isthisanai@lemmy.world]

Non sticks are disposable. They will eventually degrade no matter the care.

I use one small 8in for eggs abd the rest of my cooking it's cast iron or steel.

[ryannathans@aussie.zone]

Any of the above, just a hell of a lot easier to clean stainless. A little water and it's like new

[ryannathans@aussie.zone]

Such an unhealthy fad

[dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works]

I wouldn't know.

(But I'd like to know )

You realize this is a meme post and community, right?

[queermunist@lemmy.ml]

It doesn't even taste good! I fully understand cooking unhealthy food for the sheer joy of eating it, but low-fat garbage is missing one of the most important parts of our flavor pallet. I spent so many years thinking I didn't like vegetables lol

[graycube@lemmy.world]

Regardless of the type of pan you are using, you will find eggs ate much less likely to stick if you wait for the pan to be hot before you out the eggs in. I don't know why this is, but if you put cold eggs in a cold pan, they will stick when you cook them.

[alenalda@lemmy.world]

You got the pan too hot and probably messed with it too soon. Med/low heat throw it in let it solidify then go to town. Use cast iron and there's practically no clean up.

[affiliate@lemmy.world]

the other chemicals are always going to be plastic, just under a different name

[affiliate@lemmy.world]

it’s because the eggs expect to be warm and they punish you if you let them get cold. same reason chickens sit on them before they hatch.

[possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip]

Do you even mean "You realize this is a men post and community right?" Seriously the level of meming is proportional to frying pans squared. In fact it could be said that Frying pans were the first type of meme. Frying pans have been around long before Reddit and they even predate things like brexit and Barack Obama. (Quirky I know)

So to answer your question, yes

[gofsckyourself@lemmy.world]

laughs in cast iron

[imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works]

What now? Of all the things stainless excels at, cleaning certainly isn't one of them. Much easier to clean a nonstick or iron pan. The nice thing about stainless is you can use aggressive scouring pads or barkeepers friend etc to go to town on them at least, but stainless excels at adhesion and heat distribution and makes for a tougher cleanup.

[droans@lemmy.world]

A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it'll make them a bit better.

Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

[imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works]

I'm 90% cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless but you need to be pretty committed or pretty scared to not use any nonstick if you are a busy person. Sometimes the ease of throwing something on a nonstick with little to no oil and a fast easy cleanup or leave it with sauce sitting in it for a day or two and then deal with it later just can't be beat. The trick with nonstick is to avoid high heats and buy a new one every two years or so. Go cheap when doing so. I've found no real advantage of the expensive nonsticks over the cheap ones.
