novice at cooking here. know the basics and can make some decent tasting dishes without the need of a recipe, but not enough to know the full ins and outs of cooking.
since i moved out of my parents’, i’ve been cooking with cheap pans pots and pans from ikea, and while they do the trick for most of my cooking, i cannot for the life of me make decent eggs without them overcooking and sticking, butter/oil help a little bit but not consistently. the electric range is def a hurdle to learn coming from gas, but most of my other dishes seem to come out fine.
anyway, i’ve been looking into some decent pans that meet the following criteria:
- nonstick without chemicals (teflon/PFAS/whatever)
- induction burner compatible, as i plan on getting a burner at some point
- (optional) comes in an 8in and 10in size
- (optional) oven safe
from what i’ve seen so far the “Analon EverLast N₂ Carbon Steel” seems like what i’m looking for based on reviews but i also wanted to ask for people’s opinions before making a purchase


Alright time to get downvoted to oblivion.
Yes, I know non-stick is bad for the environment. So I want to give a recommendation for a good set so if you do buy it you dont have to throw it out after a year.
The non-stick I currently have is from all clad. I’ve owned them for 4 years now and they still work great.
In the past most non-stick pans would start sticking after 2 years, so these lasting this long is pretty good great. Yes, they start sticking even if I stick to medium heat.
Yes, I own both carbon steal and stainless steel pots but sometimes I just don’t want to deal with the clean up.
