  Bought it last year, I think it was the same price. Great pan. Only slight scratches 12 months later, washes easy.

  Was $39 this exact time last year. And going by the feedback from that deal the quality isn't as good as you'd expect, with the non stick coating lasting between 3 to 8 months.

    After a month of use, eggs started sticking unless I put lots of oil. This must be one of the worse pans from the tefal range.

      yep brought one last deal thinking i'd splurge for a quality pan.
      got stains from frying steak in the first couple of weeks that would not come off and food stuck easily.
      Returned and got a refund.
      Had pots and pan I got from aldi that are still going strong after many years. Go figure

        We also had spots appear but didn't use them for such a long time I thought it was to late to return. Took it on the chin

  Note these are "stain resistant", not non-stick. No teflon, despite the name. Ceramic is an alternative to seasoned stainless steel or cast iron, I think.
  Good for high-temp frying, definitely not ideal for eggs and pancakes. Big W has those at "half price".

  Best to have both: teflon, and cermaic/steel/cast-iron surfaces.

  guys don't get this frypan - definitely not non-stick (i used three of them and had a hard time getting myer to agree to a refund) and doesn't retain heat very well

    It doesn't claim to be non stick.

  Ceramic pans so look pretty useless. You get those ones on the shopping channel showing how they are non stick but most don't last very long. This Tefal one also looks cheap with the plastic handle. It's amazing that it was originally $130.

  Bought one of those Silvertone frypan as you seen in the TV shopping channel, I think they are similar to the ceramic type, worst buy because it requires so much oil if you don't want your food stick to the pan. Also, very hard to clean once you have food stuck on it.

    when was the first and last time anyone got a decent bargain from TV shopping channel?

  For the same price I preferred the 30cm Tefal Character GV5 http://www.myer.com.au/shop/mystore/tefal-character-red-gv5-… but good price if you are looking for ceramic coat.

  I read somewhere that no stick pan is bad of health. Is that true?

  • 

    eatwell365 on 31/12/2016 - 16:27

    not sure why you get neg for asking a decent question.

    It was explained here by the cancer council.

    … but Grandma and Aunty use non stick pot to deep fry, and I can't remember how many times I had left hot oil burnt in the pan.

      wildstone on 31/12/2016 - 16:31

      What about the non sticks that are scratched? I do smell some kind of fumes when cooking. Not sure if that is the fume the article is mentioning. How hot can a typical stove hit up the pan anyway?

      • 

        eatwell365 on 31/12/2016 - 16:40

        this is my own take - please correct or educate us if anyone know better.
        - cancer council does not offer warning other than safe to eat but that is about teflon from dupoint. so many non stick pans which are so cheap and nasty - hard to trust.
        - when it scratches I throw them away.

  eatwell365 on 31/12/2016 - 16:44

  Just google and you will find "Recipes may vary, but you'll want to preheat your oil to somewhere between 325 and 375 degrees. "ie there is possibility that temp can go above safety guidelines if non stick pan is used to deep fan…so do not use to deep fry and heat temp cooking which a lot of Asian cruisies would do and recommend.

  I can't remember which brand I last bought ?circulon. There are new pans that are non stick, non scratch (can use a metal wire brush) and 3 layers metal that heats up faster. And does not cause an arm and a leg.

    It was crusinart.

  I've had a 24cm one of these for about a year and while it isn't non-stick (still needs some oil/butter) it is definitely a lot less sticky than stainless steel or similar so I would buy another one.

  Got the 30cm,cheers OP.

  I purchased one a year ago. It sticks to food much more than my scanpan stainless steel frypans. As such, it doesn't really offer any benefits over a high-quality stainless steel pan in my opinion.

  Don't buy this pan expecting non-stick. I would guess that it is safer to use than teflon though in terms of human health.

  • 

    brettd on 02/01/2017 - 19:45

    Interesting, the stainless pan I was comparing to is scanpan as well but both my partner and I would say the opposite.

      Might be to do with how you're using the stainless steel. I don't want to assume, but if you heat the stainless correctly, it shouldn't stick at all. I made scrambled eggs on the weekend without leaving any trace on the pan. It should be heated sufficiently such that a half teaspoon dropped onto the pan should slide around the pan like a mercury ball. If it sizzles, it's still not hot enough. If it immediately separates into many little tiny balls, it is too hot. Coat the cooking surface with oil (peanut is my go-to, with its high smoke point) and you're good to go with your eggs or whatever.

      I still have trouble with bacon though. It seems to want to stick no matter what… so I do eggs first, and then bacon. When the pan's cooled, a little bit of cold water left for a while will loosen anything stuck to the pan, then scoop it out and put it in the bin. Should clean up easily after that. My old tefal has had it, so I'm now looking for a small scanpan for a fried egg - the big one takes too long to heat, and that's probably the big downside of stainless (the plus side being that the food tastes great)

      edit: i just wanted to add, as well, that cleaning stainless steel is very easy, the food generally slides right off after soaking… but food seems to really stick to the ceramic and doesn't want to come off with just the sponge.

        Yeah it would definitely have to do with how we cook, I'm pretty impatient so don't wait long enough for the oil to stop sizzling (and use max heat into the pan which is why Teflon's no good for me). I've found butter for fried eggs is a lot more forgiving in terms of sticking though (not the healthiest I know).

        Haven't tried peanut oil, is it much better than vegetable?

        I think it's a patience thing with the cleaning as well, I only give them as much time to soak as it takes to eat then scrape off and into the dishwasher. The stainless steel cleans up easy enough as well though, it was more the sticking during cooking where I think it might be less forgiving.

        @brettd: I didn't make it clear in the post, but I was talking about water, not oil. You want to put water on the pan, and for it to roll around the pan like a mercury ball. if that happens, toss it out, then coat the frypan with oil, then start cooking. That will probably take a few minutes depending on the size of the pan and how much heat is coming off your stove.

        The peanut oil has a high smoke point. Some vegetable oils are a bit dodgy for your health and have a lower smoke point.
