Looking for sort of pan to pan fry chicken or fish.
Have tried few pans from Aldi (crofton?) and even Tefal but withing few mins the non-stick gets off and the chicken/fish sticks to the pan.
Any specific option for induction cooktop?

So tempted but no space.
Not in my experience. Works just as well as an oven, many a times the oven is better and in some very few instances the air fryer is better (but just barely so)
There's nothing I've found the oven does better than the Philips Airfryer, except for quantity. Everything from chips to grilled/breaded chicken to fish to frozen pastries are just perfect. Maybe baked cakes or desserts are better in an oven, haven't tried.
There's no chance you'll convince people that frozen french fries are better in an oven than an airfryer…
Sorry, but I owned a Philips XXL twin turbo air fryer (sold it two weeks ago) and I'm speaking from experience. I have found absolutely nothing done better in an airfryer except a whole chicken. This is IMHO and your could argue I'm a baking/air frying noob (I wouldn't disagree) and tank my opinion but there are quite a few people who think like me
@0FoxGiven: Fair enough, to each their own I suppose. Also have the XXL and very very happy with it. It's even motivated me to cook more rather than eat out.
@Hybroid: You sure that wasn’t COVID and the closure of restaurants that forced you to cook at home…?
@jjjaar: Nope, pretty much everything is open around me as per normal. Coles, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Mexican, Burger joints, all fast food branches (McD/KFC/HJ/Subway etc), you name it… All open in Sydney CBD and have been throughout.
withing few mins the non-stick gets off and the chicken/fish sticks to the pan.
That's not right … non-stick coatings should not come off with normal usage!
Agree. doesn't sound right
But I haven't used induction cooktop.But if the pan you buy is induction compatible then something is not right
In my experience if the pan is not induction compatible the element doesn't turn on, and it displays an error code.
To be induction compatible, a pan needs a layer of iron or steel in its base. A rule of thumb is - if a magnet won't stick firmly to a pan then it's not induction compatible.
I use induction, so it's not that. You're cooking your food at too high a temperature. Heat pan at 8, then bring back to 6/7 once the meat is sealed for cooking. If you can't do that, then at least switch to stainless steel.
Not cheap, but Woll diamond lite pans are good, scanpan too.
Ours lost its stick just shy of two years. Tried contacting woll and they were absolutely useless! Got this paperweight sitting here until the shops open properly.
scanpan or woll?
Scanpan support is decent - no receipt needed, just look at the manufacturing date on the pan, return via post and get a new one. I'm not sure how they are in the pandemic though.
Woll sorry. I wish it was that easy. 25 years on the pan but only 2 on the stick which makes it pretty redundant once the stick is gone
Have you missed all the Lodge bargains that get posted here?
Yep, noted few from Amazon and boom all gone
Get a pan that isn't non stick?
Can get a stone fry pan for $20-30 at woolies or somewhere on sale.
The quickest way to ruin a non-stick pan is to use very high heat and induction tops can generate heat very fast and very high. Also apparently you should 'season' non-stick pans as well with some (olive) oil prior to regular usage.
We use a mixture of Tefal and Le Creuset products on our induction top and have no issue.
IKEA frypans! I've been using them on both traditional and induction electric stoves, great value for money.
I recently purchased all new pots/pans as have an induction (and they were all 25 years plus old). I went with the esteele per sempre range. For cooking meat I have my trusty lodge cast iron and the esteele per natura square grill pan (all my esteele were bought 50% off at DJ's) and it works really well - non stock where as the lodge is not. Over the years I have tried high, middle and low range pans and so far, the esteele out perform them all.
I also have esteele. Another thing to mention is they wash up very easily.
I have a Circulon Symmetry pan that I love - non-stick still perfect, looks brand new after 3-4 years of use.
You are getting the pans too hot if the non stick comes off….
Go to a 'chef warehouse' type place and get a french skillet. I used to share a flat with a chef who introduced me to them. I have had induction for 5 years and my skillet I bought 10 years ago works a treat. It is somehow none stick if you seal it when you first buy it - they really are great. But heavy.
So is Le Creuset OK with induction?
The advice I've read is that all non-stick pans will lose their non-stickyness after a while ~ two years.
So just buy a relatively cheap pan and keep replacing it. You will have a better average experience.
I just get IKEA pans - and I have and induction cooktop, so need to get induction capabable pans.
Get an Airfryer! Not even kidding, they're absolutely great.
