>scraping nonstick pans with anything metal

Please educate yourself about proper care of nonstick cookware beforehand next time you mong

>>8135469
>that pan on the left
I have two pans of the same brand. I think we're soulmates, OP. You're gonna be the bottom though.

Fuck nonstick cookware. Season some cast iron and enjoy the same effect.

>>8135575
No one told me about this, I don't even know what nonstick means.

>>8135585
This is bait.

>>8135591
You better hope that's actually the case, because it's not you're actually retarded.

>>8135591
and in the end you only played yourself

>>8135607

Literally I was never told this. I just bought the first pan and wok on amazon. How was I supposed to know I can't even use metal on my cookware?

>>8135618
>starts off with "literally"
Ah, you're a chick right?

>using non-stick anything in the first place

>>8135530
>nonstick wok
What's the point? A wok is only good at temperatures too high for nonstick.

>>8135686
can you recommend a new one for me?

anything good for general frying vegetables/gravies/soup/oatmeal etc

>>8135618
well now you know next time to google care instructions before you use something

when I was in hs I fucked up a waffle iron by using non-stick spray on it a few times causing a buildup on it that basically won't dissolve, learned the lesson there to read up on shit before I do stuff like that

>>8135690
Get a pot and a skillet, both with lids. Ideally stainless steel but if that's too expensive then anodized aluminum. Nonstick can be fine when used correctly but you've shown that you're too retarded for that so you should should stay away from it for now.

>>8135690
You don't make oatmeal in a wok son.

>>8135710
Didn't have a pot.

>>8135706
I have a skillet but it's not really shallow enough to stirfry. I don't have a pot though, I should get that too.

>>8135706
>cancer and tastelessness can be fine when used correctly
Really makes you think.

nigga what

>>8135798
deep*

>>8135706
ok I got this one https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-755-26GD-Classic-Stainless-Multi-Purpose/dp/B000ND5CAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475035020&sr=8-1.

I believe I have rubbed steel implements on my nonstick skillet and tava but not enough to scrape off the coating. hopefully it's okay.


are there any other things I should know about that I might have missed? For example I didn't realize that if you put water in hot oil, the fact that water repels oil makes the oil splatter everywhere.

>>8135846
no dude, if you scrape off the black, youre fucking up.

>>8135846
Ok, that one seems decent.

Get a cheap generic carbon steel wok from a chinese restaurant supply shop or chinese supermarket. It's what everyone uses. It's like the one piece of cookware that the cheapest most basic option is the best. Just season it well.
