Treated myself to a set of Professional Stainless Steel frying pans, having listened to a radio programme about old and flaking teflon and non stick coatings being potentially bad for your health. Promptly went home and chucked out all my old pans, started using the ProCook pans and they are absolutely awful. Everything sticks and they are terrible to clean. I can't even fry an egg properly any more. I've been cooking for myself for over 30 years, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing.
