Nonstick skillet for induction needed

I need an 8 " and 10" skillet (induction capable). I have a 12" All Clad non -stick -- it has worked great for years but they are super $$$!!!

I had a 10" Ikea 365+ nonstick skillet that looked great but lost its non-stick. Then the handle fell right off the pan.

Anyone have experience with Farberware Millenium Non stick?

Le Creuset now offers a line of stainless non stick skillets. We've used ours on induction for over a year and I can highly recommend. A less expensive option is Pro Cook, a brand popular in Europe that recently opened an outlet store in our area. We just have an omelet size nonstick pan from them. It works well on induction and is very good quality for the price, IMO.

I have read good reviews for Tramontina Prima pans, and they are made in Brazil instead of China, if that makes a difference. I don't have them yet, but this is what I was considering.

Two weeks ago, I bought a $65 8 inch LeCrueset nonstick frypan for morning eggs, at the LeCrueset outlet store. That's big bucks for cheapo me. It does not compare to the $9 frypan I got a year ago at T.J. Marshall's. LeCrueset doesn't clean as well and has a 10 year 'limited' warranty. Other pans have 'limited' lifetime warranties. I love, love my other stuff and it's performance on my Bosch induction. Get something cheaper at T. J.'s, or Ikea, or Macy's. I do prefer Farberware Millenium, or Circulon Infinite, or T-fal ultimate, or Macy's tools of the trade-for your induction cooker. All of these go in the dishwasher, but I dare not put the LC in. phooey. overrated and overpriced So, I am not a LeCrueset believer. This is not the cast iron baby, just an ordinary, but LeC, nonstick pan. Cast iron is way too heavy for me. And l.c. is overpriced. The saleswoman at the L.C. outlet told me all the things I should not do with LC, no metal utensils, careful no scratch storage, no dishwasher (despite the attached brochure) etc. Primadonna cookware!

After cooking, clean by putting hot water in pan and bringing to a boil. Do not use detergent, also avoid putting cookware in cold water. Wipe dry with a paper towel. Apply a fine coating of oil or spray. Cast iron is not DW safe--if that's what they wrote I will correct them on my next phone call Ok what they mean is(I assume this is for the cast iron pans, right ?) Loosen any bits on the pan with hot water, you can use a very soft scrubbie sponge--do not use soap since it will ruin the "seasoning", never put any hot pan in cold water(cast iron or not) completely dry the pan after use(I put my cast iron on a low flame until completely dry) put a little oil just enough to coat and wipe with a paper towel-this protects the pan from rusting(I also dry my wok on a low flame and coat the inside with coconut oil after every use) Cast iron is very easy to care for and Lodge is US made and has small pans.

brickeyee Not to discredit you or anything but maybe you should read the attached link before you make such a blanket statement (and yes, I have Teflon coated non stick pans that I use) or this site http://www.torayfluorofibers.com/TEFLONADVANTAGE/ProductSafetyInfo/tabid/60/Default.aspx where, and I quote, Do not use TFA materials in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body or permanent contact with internal body fluids or tissues. Do not use TFA materials in medical applications involving brief or temporary implantation in the human body or contact with internal body fluids or tissues, unless the material has been provided directly from TFA under a contract which expressly acknowledges the contemplated use.

All implantable medical devices carry a risk of failure and adverse consequences. Regarding implantation of materials, you should rely upon the medical judgment of the physician, the medical device seller, and the FDA. Do not rely upon TFA. Examples of both harmful consequences and lifesaving benefits from the implantation of various materials can be found in published medical articles. Without performing clinical medical studies of an implantable medical device, TFA cannot weigh the benefits against the risks of that device and cannot offer a medical judgment on the safety or efficacy of the use of our material in that device. color="red"> Regardless, once teflon coatings begin to peel, the chemical is breaking down and many authorities more versed in toxicity than I are recommending to toss that pan asap.

Do you have a World Market near you? If so, go there and buy yourself a couple of non-stick skillets. They are called "Professional Aluminum Skillets" and come in 3 sizes; 8, 10, and 12 ". They range in price from $12.99 to $24.99 (they used to be cheaper - inflation!). I have the 8 and 10 inch ones and I adore them. In the 51 years since I left home and have been cooking, I've tried a LOT of different skillets and these are the best, regardless of price. I also like the fact that they are so cheap that if they begin to look nasty in 3-4 years, you can just pitch them and get new ones. I don't want a $100 skillet that I will feel duty-bound to use until I fall into my grave! I find the 8" one is SO useful for me as I live alone. It's the perfect size for an omelet. I use the larger one in the summer when I'm with my DD and her family (4 more people) on vacation for a month. Yes, I DID buy them for the rental house we rent every summer! They didn't have a decent skillet in the house, and I'm already hauling quite enough stuff - don't want to have to take my skillets, too.

I have an induction cooktop. Yes, I have a new-ish farberware millennium non stick interior-stainless exterior and I love it. Just havent used it a lot and so it is pretty babied. I expect it to last a long time and it was $18 or 24 at potsandpans.com, the farberware store.

I also love my circulon infinite non stick cookware. I have several pieces. Also currently on sale at potsandpans.com. Not all circulon is induction capable but infinite and symmetry are.

Every morning I use a nonstick 8 inch Le Crueset, stainless exterior for eggs and love it, but it was $65 at the lc outlet store. Pricey for me, but it is wonderful, also.

Check out farberwarecookware.com or potsandpans.com. These are related websites and both circulon infinite and farberware millennium are on sale, induction capable, 500 degree ovenproof, dishwasher safe, metal utensil safe, and are 20-25 bucks for 8 and 10 inch sizes. What more could you want?

I don't have an induction stove, however I wanted to add my endorsement of the Le Creuset nonstick pans. I have a small and large skillet and they are terrific. The small one has been used quite a bit and it's just like new!

I have the 8, 10 & 12" Millenium They are about 5 or 6 years old, and look practically new despite using them frequently. I am careful, however, to use no metal utensils with them

I'm another Farberware Millennium user. I've also got the 8, 10, & 12 inch skillets. I use them frequently, and they wear well.

I am concerned about the weight of the Le Cruseuset pans. I am happy to hear that the Farberware Millennium performs well so I will be ordering the 10" to start!

The LeCreuset nonstick aren't heavyweights like the enamel pans.

Yes, the LeCrueset pans are stainless and nonstick, not cast iron and not any heavier than other induction nonsticks.

Ohhh.... I thought they were those nonstick enameled cast iron pans that I have seen.

I did order the 8 and 10 " Farberware Millennium from Potsand Pans.com at a good price.

They are kind of high sided so I am hoping the bottom part of the pan is still a normal size.

We had the farberware millennium but the most heavily used ones lost their nonstick in 3 yrs. I am now onto the ikea 365+ and have been happy so far. (I find I need to use less heat than with the farberware.) In between we tried the green earth pans via amazon and they were awful...just putting them in the dish drainer was enough to cause the finish to chip, and they have the dimpled bottom so the best we could do were the ugliest french toast and pancakes I've ever seen. And they required us to turn up the heat a lot to get them to even work. One factor is to never ever let them get too hot...you need to err on the cool side to keep them going.

I'm not sure why this should be such a difficult issue in this day and age and hope that with time and increased demand, they find a better solution for us induction users....
