Ok, How many use Teflon cookware? --- Oh, Good! Lots of you. :sug: please... I bought a set of pans a year ago and I have a favorite pan that I fix dh's eggs [eggbeaters] in, but the teflon has lost its 'tef..'. :wacko: It isn't scratched or anything, but the eggs are starting to stick, and stay in one spot. :ph43r: Can I do something to bring back the 'no-stick-finish' in some way? :please: It's a great pan for omlets, eggs, etc. - well, it wass when it was 'new' - just the right size. But it makes me leary of using the bigger 'fry' pans, since I don't want to lose the teflon release on them either. Any :sug: ??? |

I would mourn a demise of a favorite pan. I would use pam no stick cooking spray. It is recommended that you don't because it builds up over time, but it seems the pan has met the end of its life. There is no way to RESTORE a teflon finish. |

Thanks for the information... So the next question is.....how long should the teflon last...is there a way to make it last longer than a year? The pan in question was used everyday...and than a few extra days if I was fixing only one potatoe for dh....lets see...352 days + 100 days [that is probably a stretch, but the round number works for me] = 452 times... Seems like it should last longer. Did I wash it wrong - I used the soap and water I normally used for washing the dishes..? I only bought 1 pan a week, but the set probably cost $200.00 or more. Seems as if it should last longer. My mil had a set that she could send back into the company, and they refininished it and it was stick free again. She sent in her sauce pans and her fry pans as needed and they did them all with the only cost the shipping to the company in Wisconsin. I wish I had that set...or had bought them when we had a chance...they were expensive at the time, but they more than paid for themselves and mil loves them....she even mails them from Fla. up to Wisconsin. But since I like this pan, I may just have to use Pam. Some 'infomercial' I heard about using household products for different reasons, I thought I heard something about vinegar helping....but not sure that was right - and not sure if something was to be added to it?? I like the pan, so I don't just want to pour vinegar into the pan and then end up ruining it.... Unless someone else can help, guess I am stuck with the Pam.. Oh, well, worth a try. Thanks! |

Seems to me the pan should have lasted longer. I had read an excellent article on the care and today I can't find it. First suggestion was to season it with vegetable oil before using. And other than using plastic to cook with and sponge to clean with there are no special directions I can recall. |
