I bought a corsori tuboblaze airfryer on amazon because the website was sold out and did not realise it was the version before they upgraded the coating to ceramic. It was £25 cheaper but I’m unsure about teflon air fryer as i’ve seen a few news articles about it. When googling it says its not dangerous unless overheated 260-300 degrees (air-fryer goes up to 230) or damaged and ceramic chips more but I’m still unsure if i should return it.

Hi!

I’m looking for a frying pan. I’ve read through the wiki, so I have a general idea of the recommended brands and cookware. My question is a bit more general.

I have an electric stovetop, but I don’t want to replace my cookware just because I change my stove in the future, so I need something that also works on induction. I measured it, the biggest coil is 19-20cm.

I’d use the pan for everyday cooking, so I’d like it to be as versatile as possible.

I’m torn between a disc-bottom and a fully clad pan. I understand the general advice is “the thicker, the better,” but is that always true? Are there dishes or situations where a fully clad pan with a thinner base is actually the better choice?

For example my electric stove is already slow to react, so paired with a thick disc-bottom pan, it might be really unresponsive. At the same time, I like the idea of very even heat distribution and retention.

Specifically, I’m trying to decide between the Fissler Original Profi and the Kuhn Rikon Culinary Fiveply 28cm frying pan. (The Kuhn Rikon looks much nicer, but I don’t want this to be the deciding factor if you say the Fissler is better)

I’m stuck on this decision. Any advice that pushes me one way or the other?
Which one would you buy?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi, I'm looking at buying a Dutch oven and as much as I'd like some from Le Creuset, I'll never be ok dropping that much money into it.

What are the other top brands/products that wouldn't cost an arm?

In need of a new pots and pans set. Not looking to spend a fortune, and just the best bang for my buck. Not really sure what I’m looking for as far as what I need/want, open to anything! I am (24f), my current set was my first set bought after moving out on my own, and have served their purpose. They were just cheap ones I bought from Walmart, but I have definitely ruined the nonstick on them and honestly makes cooking dreadful when everything you cook is stuck to the bottom all the time. So in need of an upgrade! Help!

Hi guys. I'm looking for a small 8 inch / 20 cm pan suitable for frying eggs, making omlettes, pancakes and shakshouka. I have induction stovetop. Since I only have big stainless steel pan, I could use some variety in pan choice. Budget is not that big I'd say around 60 eur. Must be available in Europe. If a post like this was made please redirect me to it because I couldn't find any.

I'd like to buy a Made In 5 qt saucier but they ain't cheap. I'm hoping to find a discount that's better than their 10% off coupon code. What's the largest discount you've ever come across for Made In? And where might I have luck finding a decent coupon?

Thanks!

Warning, this is just my experience and may not reflect the general persons experience with this cookware. I recently bought one of all-clad’s D3 everyday 10-inch pans after an extensive review seeing its good reputation and good reviews online. After receiving the pan though, I noticed it had a wobble and wouldn’t sit flat on a flat surface (before first use and after boiling some water). Thankfully, their support is helpful and I was able to get a warranty replacement. Though, waiting over a month later, the replacement I received had the same exact issue where it, brand new and unused, would rock side to side and one side of the pan would always be raised. Cooking on an electric glass-top made one half of the pan significantly hotter than the other. I wanted to see if other people had similar issues so I went to the all clad subreddit and posted the issue. Though, that post got removed with no reason given which I presume to be a sign of censorship (just a theory though).

Today I received yet another replacement and the pan has the same issue. It rocks and will not heat evenly on my glass top stove and I have just given up. Either I’m unlucky or this is just how they are meant to be. Bottom line is, I want to know other people’s experience with their cookware from all classes and if they’ve had these issues before. Seeing as spending $150 on a pan from them has given me nothing but a wobbly and uneven heating pan, I’m starting to rethink all clad as an industry respected brand.

Edit: I’ve tried it on multiple surfaces and these pans were brand new when I noticed they were rocking. Never did anything that would warrant warping them in the first place either (slow heat, no dousing in water, large enough burner).
