Iron pans [View all]
If you have a glass cook top and want to avoid nonstick but have similar properties to cast iron, stamped iron pans could be a solution for you.
Before I moved to Germany I had a gas range. Most all of my frying pans were nonstick with a couple of cast iron, one enameled.
Couldn't take them, weight and my apartments have been all electric. I had 2, 6 inch cheap commercial nonsticks for eggs and two person pasta saucing. REcycle every 4ish year for new ones when the coatings went bad. Cheap at Smart&Final. They worked on the glass cooktop in the first apartment.
When we moved 2 years ago I got and induction top. It is quite nice but he cheap allu nonsticks don't work so I gave them to a nieghbor woman who was starting a new house. What to replace them with?
I went with Iron pans, Not cast iron stamped iron. They are smooth on the bottom so are glass top friendly. Work with induction and all metal so tehycan go intothe oven without worries. All my fry pans must go into the oven.
They can be seasoned much like cast iron and are lighter. They heat faster than cast iron but don't hold heat as long. Which for me is not usually an issue.
