3. What brand of frying pans do you use (and how do you keep them so clean)?
To my surprise I am very frequently asked what pots, frying pans and saucepans I use. And to my even greater surprise I am also frequently asked how I keep them so clean (my mum would scoff at this because to her excessively clean “you could eat off the floor” Greek standards, my cookware fails miserably her mirror reflective standards. Though I always thought that more attention should be devoted to quality of what’s IN the pan than the sparkly factor of the OUTSIDE of the pan). Nevertheless, I oblige my followers:
I use STAINLESS STEEL saucepans and frying pans. I like the ones with the stainless steel handles as the plastic handles often get too hot if positioned on top of a flame and toxins start spewing out into your home environment. Also plastic handles mean that you can't put the frying pan under the grill when making omelettes, and pancakes as the plastic may start to melt. Avoid aluminium cookware as aluminium is a light metal and a neurotoxin.
Ideally (although don’t lose sleep over this), if you can afford it, opt for stainless steel frying pans made with minimal nickel like the nöni™ range of Solidtenkics. Nickel is found in most stainless steel cookware which may release nickel into food. While small amounts of nickel are not an issue for most people, large amounts may be toxic and even carcinogenic. Other cheaper reputable brands include Scan Pan, Acro Steel and CuisinArt. (And no I don’t get any kickbacks from these companies. I just dig their stuff).
I’m a traditional cook, so I avoid all non stick cookware. Period. However natural they say the non stick surface is, its not going to be as natural and non toxic as stainless steel. “But what about things sticking to the surface?!?!?” I hear you cry. Well my answer to that is FAT. And a lot of it.
