As the old one, a Tefal, now has a raised middle bit & all the oil just runs to the edge lol

What frying pan would you recommend, I want one that will ideally not warp, won't lose it's non stick coating & will preferably last a life time.

Any ideas?

There are a lot of poor frying pans in the shops which won't last very long.

My latest pan is a hard anodised Prestige one which is still like new after a fair bit of use, some at higher than normal temperatures.

They don't make that model any more but this one looks a bit like it -

I bought a couple of the John Lewis own-brand Thermopoint non-stick pans a few years ago and they are brilliant. They are still in almost mint condition after a lot of use - much better than some of the more expensive pans I've bought over the years.

I'm very happy with my Kuhn Rikon still going after 8 years without a scratch. Mayer are good also. I like to have one with a metal handle so I can stick it in the oven and and when and thier skillets are a good size for that.

Get yourself a skillet like this, season it properly and you'll never need another frying pan again.

Does a frying pan have to last 'forever' why not replace a half decent Tefal now and again, they're not that expensive, that's what I've resolved to doing.

I have one, but I rarely use it because it's so heavy and awkward and is a pain to clean.

I find them easy to clean. Just add hot water whilst the pan is still hot. Everything usually comes off quite easily.

I'd agree about the weight. I use it for things where I don't have to/want to move the pan such as steak, gammon etc.

Exactly. You should never use detergent to clean a skillet. Once all the residue has been removed with hot water from the previous thing you cooked, you just wipe it with a tissue dipped in a bit of oil.

The weight can be an issue with some people, agreed.

two things,

get one that is as heavy as you can safely manage. the lighter the pan, the less likely it is to buckle.

make sure you treat it properly if its non-stick that means no metal utensils, do not put it in the dishwasher and use non-stick scoucer only. Normally soak with washing up liquid and water once I have finished cooking.

I have a 15 quid one from aldi, its 5 years old and the outside has a few oil stains but the inside is as good as new.
