Question for those of you who cook . . .

[bhawk24bob]

Are you referring to hexclad? It's high end. I'm not saying it replaces a big cast iron skillet but you would probably find yourself using it the vast majority of the time.

It might be high end for a non-stick product (or at least expensive) but any non-stick product is going to be inferior to a stainless product

Define inferior.

I Stirred, Scraped, and Scooped to Test 13 Wooden Spoons

We tested 13 wooden spoons to find out which three scraped, stirred, scooped, and served the best. We also evaluated how comfortable they were to hold.

Oh you are so wrong!

They don’t scratch up cookware, they are ideal for gently scrambling eggs, they are so versatile.

I like wooden spoons, but this is the dumbest thing I have ever ever ever ever ever read on this site. You don’t use a wooden spoon for scrambling eggs. That is completely moronic. What are you a communist?

Can someone post a link to the regular HORT site? I seem to have been redirected to the HORT for Poors page

Not gonna read the whole thread but wooden spoons suck.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but on a related note.
My wife is the best cook I know but she goes through pots, pans, spoons, knives, etc. like she is running a restaurant. She will dirty up a sink full just boiling eggs.

I don't have a favorite, but there's a few that I like better.

I definitely have a favorite knife. A victorinox grand maitre 8" chef's knife with the wood handle. Just a beautiful piece of cutlery. Although my shun santuko is a close second.

Higher end cookware often should not be washed in a dishwasher or have metal utensils used on them.

We have Carote pots and pans and they recommend hand washing and no metal utensils:

Dos and Don'ts of Non-stick Cookware

Have you ever questioned yourself about this problem? Pots and pans were performing pretty well in the first months, but it worsened as time passed! Well, I don't want to rain on your parade, but it's not always pan's fault. Even if the cookware is top quality, it's just like other regular ones...

Which Utensils Should You Use with Nonstick Cookware?

Nonstick cookware is a crowd favorite for a reason—it’s easy to use and easy to clean. Its seamlessly smooth and slick surface means you can make picture-perfect eggs, pancakes and crepes effortlessly (and without tons of butter or oil to release them from the pan). Taking special care of your...

What type do you have, ceramic or aluminum? Detachable handles?
I am looking for a new set and have been looking at Made In. Most of what I want is sold out, as is most on the Carote site.

We have only one wooden spoon, we've had it forever, it's warped and worn, but I reach for it all time.

Ah ok

I don’t use any nonstick stuff. I can see why that would be useful.

We’ve had All-Clad for 20+ years and they still look great. Even put them in the dishwasher on occasion.

We have one small All-Clad skillet. My (no pics) daughters use it every day to make scrambled eggs and when they’re done there is a layer of eggs stuck to it like they’ve been fused with some adhesive that NASA developed to hold the Space Station together.

I use almost exclusively cast iron skillets and wooden/silicone utensils.
