I have a brand new set of cast iron pans and they sit on the stove as decoration....same thing stuff sticks too much.

I need a new griddle though....I had to throw my other one out because it got broken.

Soak them in grease at cook them for 3 hours in the oven on 400 I think it is. Then never wash them. When you use them wipe them out with a rag then use a moist paper towel over them while stillsteaming hot... Also never let them sit for over a week without ether going in the oven or on a hot eye. Sticking comes from washing..

That second amazon link....those type of pans drive me crazy everything sticks. Why pay so much if that is gonna be the case? or should I try them again been a long time?

I never have trouble with stuff sticking in my calphalon. Couple of tricks for them, 1 a tbs of oil in the pan never hurt anyone. In fact it's an easy way to help get some health oils into your body. 2. make sure the pan is hot before you put food in. I don't know how to explain the science behind it, but when a pan is not hot enough, and food is put in, it cooks to the pan. When a pan is hot (even if you turn it down once the food is in) and the oil hot, food will sear, but not stick. 3 Stop moving it so much! Most people, used to be myself included, would hear that sizzle and think, oh crap, I am gonna burn it, and move it around a bunch. steaks are a great example of this. It's better to let food sit in one spot for several minutes and let it get a sear, then it will scoot right around. It's hard not to touch it until then.

I

my calphalon because it heats so evenly, quickly and retains heat properly. I have a smaller set, not the one listed, but really you don't need 14 skillets etc. I think it's better to spend the same amount of money on a smaller quality set then a larger cheaply made set.

*Again, I love cooking, I am no professional, every thing I ever learned about pans was from Alton Brown and this is my personal opinion. I don't want anyone thinking I am bad mouthing their cookware.*

I also have Calpholon and I love it too!!!! I have the stainless steel 10 piece set, along with one anodized non stick 10 inch skillet. My anodized skillet is just about ready to be retired, I also don't like the chemicals "they" are saying leaches into the food from the nonstick surface. I recently have started using my stainless steel to fry eggs in -- something that I was afriad to do. Honestly, I am surprised at how well they come out and dont' stick. Getting the pan nice and warm and a thin spray of olive Oil from my Misto and VIOLA! they come right out with no issues.

I just got Wolfgang Puck stainless cookware at Sam's Club for $100. I like them. And nothing can take the place of my cast iron.

I have T-Fal and love them! Used one set for several years, found a new set at a discount store and bought those too.

I use cast iron pans and stainless steel pots. I do 'wash' mine, I clean them out in the sink with just water. The seasoning gets better with use and it isn't harmful if it gets in your food.

I think food tastes better when cooked in cast iron, I do 'wash' mine in the sink with just water.

I have some of the Tupperware Chef series pans and I REALLY like them.
I about choked at the price of the first one, but the quality is such that I have several now.

(I am not just saying that because I sell Tupperware, either)

However, for over-medium fried eggs, I use a cheep telfon pan and hand wash it.

I have been changing out my old (vintage) stainless pans for newer better ones.

I have and like the most, the Calphalon ones I got open stock at Bed Bath & Beyond.

I got a couple of Cuisinart ones too, but less impressed.

Costco has a really nice looking set of stainless.

I also use my cast iron.

I am getting rid of the old teflon pans and anything aluminum.
