Non-stick cookware

[Twoboos]

So I haven't been paying attention to non-stick cookware for years, b/c of the bad stuff in it. But I recently saw Pioneer Woman cook a fritatta which made me want one pan. Plus it would be great to have scrambled eggs that don't stick!

Is it all bad still (Teflon)? I found an All-Clad D3 11in pan at Marshalls today for $99 and almost got it. I have one for $90 sitting in my Amazon cart.

Any brands that are good? Do I just have to be careful with washing/utensils?

This is the set that DH got me for Christmas and I LOVE it! I hand wash them but I don't mind because NOTHING STICKS to them. I booted my old Stainless Steel Emerilware as soon as I got this set. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simply-calphalon-reg-nonstick-10-piece-cookware-set-and-open-stock/115218?categoryId=10518

BBB also has a two piece 10 and 12 inch omelet pan set for $39.99--you could use your 20% off coupon and the $5 coupon from the mailer to get them for under $30 after taxes and coupons. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/simply-calphalon-reg-nonstick-8-inch-and-10-inch-omelet-pan-combo/1041051429?poc=207590&categoryId=10518 **It's out of stock online right now, but you could always check your local BBB.


Or this Contemporary Calphalon set for $10 more at $49.99 Using the same coupons above you could get the 2 piece set for under $40 after coupons and taxes.

I love my Nordicware nonstick wok from Costco. I know woks may not be considered an all-purpose "only one" pan because of its shape, but thought I would mention it anyways. I got it for $19.99 when Costco offered it at $5 off. It is normally $24.99. Nothing sticks to it, very easy to clean.

Thanks for the responses! So, do all these use Teflon? Or is there something else now?

What about the Green Pan - is that actually "safe" or just a gimmick?

You can get green nonstick pans. I'm not sure how safe all the different brands are.

I could be fooling myself, but we ended up with a couple Scanpans and they are awesome. I use mostly all clad and le creuset but DH can.not cook on those. He has to have nonstick or he will ruin my pans. Even he can't ruin the scanpans.

An example of what we have

Seriously, NOTHING sticks to these. They clean up instantly.

I have a green pan and love it! It's the orgreenics one. I got a 10" one. It's what I use for scrambled eggs, etc. and nothing sticks to it. Otherwise all my other pans are stainless steel and cast iron.

I was all set to buy the Scanpan when I visited my mom over Spring Break. She had this one: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/calphalon-elite-slide-nonstick-fry-pan-set/?cm_src=AutoRel

Loved cooking with it.

I have this skillet (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GWG0T2/?tag=cioequippilot-20). It was the one recommended by cooks illustrated. My understanding is that the teflon is bad once it starts to break down so I don't really want to spend a lot on a pan that I will have to replace fairly frequently. I have all-clad stainless that I love and don't mind spending a lot for it as I know it will last, but for non-stick I want something fairly cheap. This pan has been great for eggs and such which is about all I use it for.
