What type of Pan

I have stainless steel pans, but the bigger frying pan handle broke because they were not welded in to the inside of the pan. The smaller frying pan is a KitchenAid and is welded to the inside of the pan. I also have two cast iron frying pans, and two cheap teflon pans, the kind with loose handles, and not the kind where you can use metal instruments in. We were looking at some Revere Ware, but a good frying pan costs at least $30 and I have a budget limit on what to buy and the frying pan is not included at least not until I catch up on everything else.
So I might have to use the cast iron pans instead. They would not be easy to make crepes in, but since I am trying to lose weight, maybe that is a good thing.

I use waterless stainless steel cookware - I have had it for some 15 years or so now. I really like them and they clean up well.

I stay away from Teflon coated pans and aluminum cookware whenever possible.

My wife uses teflon coated heavy base pans that are made of special grade stailess steel and having a copper base. This she finds convenient for cooking and frying our spicy and chilly Indian dishes. We have some of Aluminium too.

hi modestah I also have stainless steel with copper bottoms, and some cast iron skillets, and some corning ware for baking.
I have never had too much luck with teflon coated pans. they
all seem to break down on me for some reason. so use cast iron instead for frying things. it works just fine.

I have some stainless steel stuff that is crap...I thought stainless steel was good stuff but there seems to be degrees of quality. I also have some lovely French enamel saucepans that my Mum paid a small fortune for many years ago and was severely disappointed in. They are marked and stained. I have no problem with Teflon provided it is good quality. I paid good money for a Teflon frying pan that was recommended by a big name women's magazine. The Teflon was coming off in a few weeks. I have another Teflon pan that I've had for 3 years and it is in great condition...it didn't cost a lot either. It's so hard to know what you are getting these days.
