When we first moved to our apartment, we had hand-me-down pans that I we were told my boyfriend's sister used when she moved out. Crazy! But they were useful. We bought a new set of pans and other kitchen stuff during the Black Friday sales, and we saved a ton and we didn't buy the expensive brands either. Man, people are mean!

But you know what? A few years ago, I had a set of non-stick Royal Diamond pans and let me tell you, they NEVER scratched or flaked off. They kept their coating perfectly no matter what I did to them. I lost them in a move and I miss them. They're not on the market anymore. My pans are terrible as well. But you know what?

I only added some browned (cheap) sausage links to it just to.. umm.. (I can't say beef it up I guess). Anyway, I was thinking about you as I made my mac&cheese in my own kinda scratched non-stick pans. Now when I bought mine I refused to wash them in the dish washer so they've lated quite a while and when I buy new ones I will move on to better things.. AKA Emeril's pans! :-D HOWEVER, I was thinking of the one scolding comment you received and thought, "I would be so tempted to tell those people to buy me some new pans if they are so concerned." So I come here today and you've done just that. I know, put a Paypal donate button on your blog and have people donate money for some new pots and pans. :-D *patting you on the back* I came back here to drop a card and let you know that I made the macaroni and cheese recipe you posted and my kids scarfed it down.

People really commented on your pans?? lol!! I guess I really didn't notice because mine look the same! lol!! And I never knew to only use hot water on non-stick pans...and I guess I shouldn't be using forks and other pokey things on my non-stick pans either... Are you serious?

My 94 year old 'Pop' saw me using an old aluminum pan to bake chicken and he suggested I throw it out. He said he'd thrown his out years ago as it caused him health problems! I LIKE my aluminum pan - it's shiny and clean. Pop said he would throw it out if I didn't so I finally capitulated and let him take it to the garbage. He insisted on taking my other two as well, then went with me to the store and bought me a new teflon coated pan. The teflon is okay but you still have to replace them every year or so - I'm saving up til I can buy good stainless pans so I don't have to worry about eating those carcinogens :) Funny you should mention ‘cancer pans’!

In fact, I'm pretty certain some of mine were hand-me-downs from my mother who probably used them for 20 years before passing them along to me, LOL.

One trick I learned was that you can buy slightly outdated Calphalon professional non-stick pans at places like Tuesday Morning for a fraction of the price. And you only have to buy one pan at a time. When you get new non-stick (I guess I need more coffee--I keep typing non-TICK. Um, yeah, that's a good pan.) you are going to be amazed at how much easier it makes cooking. Barb I have good pans now but spent many years with some that were sub par.

Here is a tip for when you do get new pans. If you get non-stick never use soap on them. Only use hot water. They are non stick anyway and hot water (boil it if you have to) will kill germs. Soap is what breaks down the non stick surface. LOL! Here is a tip for when you do get new pans. If you get non-stick never use soap on them. Only use hot water.
