      There’s nonstick without pfas. Does it have other chems we have no idea about? Probably. But not pfas.

        Non stick isn’t even good for cooking, get a nice stainless steel pan and see how much better food tastes

          I think you’ve misspelled cast iron. Or maybe carbon steel?

          I do want some stainless skillets, but specifically to stick fond in from meat searing, not to replace nonstick. It’s for actually the opposite purpose.

          Switching to stainless has been great. If something sticks I can just scrape it off and then add a little more oil to prevent a repeat. I’m not sure why non-stick pans even became popular. I guess probably the low-fat fad had something to do with it.

    Regardless of the type of pan you are using, you will find eggs ate much less likely to stick if you wait for the pan to be hot before you out the eggs in. I don’t know why this is, but if you put cold eggs in a cold pan, they will stick when you cook them.

      it’s because the eggs expect to be warm and they punish you if you let them get cold. same reason chickens sit on them before they hatch.

      A little tip - put a small pad of butter on the pan first, let it melt, and then spread it out. The pan will be the perfect temp for the eggs and it’ll make them a bit better.

      Also, add a couple tablespoons of milk to the eggs. It will make them smoother and fluffier.

    Did you scratch it? Let me guess, you used a metal fork or spatula.

    Either take care of the surface or get a nice cast iron. Possibly both.
