Recommendations for a good cheap stainless steel pan? I've started cooking a lot of saucy meats and I live alone so I'd like to have multiple of the same 10" steel pan so I can just throw them in the dishwasher and have more pans to use in between dishwashing cycles. Before you suggest I just wash the pan after each use, I'm lazy.
I have this and its quite good

the $2 pan from your local thrift store
seriously, budget stainless is budget stainless.
i've seen a lot of posts on stainless cookware recently, what are the benefits?
is it time to throw out all my teflon stuff?

teflon is really only good for eggs
you need a stainless steel in order to create malliard reaction (sear) and actually cook
not to mention deglaze, it's a staple of french cooking

i use cast iron for searing, is stainless better for some things?
>>8968395
Cast iron is great for frying, baking some things, cast iron pizza and searing meats
Its also easier to clean if it's well seasoned
you can get a calphalon one for about 20 bucks at marshalls or tjmaxx if you have one around.

hmm that's good to know, i've definitely deglazed my cast iron with wine before
maybe i'll pick up a stainless, thanks for the info
Go to your local restaurant supply store.
Get a debuyer carbon steel pan.
It will outlast your grandchildren. Best fried eggs on planet earth.

do you throw yours in the dishwasher? because you shouldn't. 1. you strip the seasoning. 2. they rust.

>It will outlast your grandchildren
I highly doubt it
>rivets
>not 1 piece solid castiron
I'm just gunna ask here instead of killing another thread:
I have a decent non-stick pan but it always fucking tilts on the burner. I've always had those shitty electric coil burners so I don't know if its that or if the pan is just made like shit?
>>8968784
No I don't put it in the dishwasher. What is this /ck/ or 15 year old McDondalds fry guy thread? Never wash the pan; thats the point.
Rivets are the best connectors on planet earth. Thats why they use them on airplanes.
Solid 1 piece cast iron is way too heavy for tossing vegetables
My pan is 50 years old from my grandma, who is French. Still solid as fuck.
You guys would blow a 5 roper load if you had my goat cheese / blueberry pancakes I made on Sunday with this bitch. Crispy and fluffy as fuck.

I shouldn't be responding to you because you're clearly autistic and just feed on anonymous interaction online but read the fucking op you faggot

my electric coil burner pops out of it's well all the time and only really stays flat if I have something heavy on it. If I were to fix mine I'd affix it securely to the base plate with wire or something.

Try my new Red Copper Square Dance Pan™ and you'll be dancing all day!
>>8968239
one of my favorite pants is a 6 dollar copper bottom revereware pan.
deep sides, its flat, heats up fast, cleans up easy
i find pans like this all the time at thrift shops. there is no reason to buy new pans when there are a glut of them on the market, and if you hunt you'll find some real treasures out there.

Technically a square pan has 27% more surface area than a round pan.
Fucking uneducated cunts.
>>8968991
You might have forgotten to account for the rounded corners on that model.
>>8968897
>>8969248
I was just basing it off the flat bottom surface area.

Buy on from ikea. Stainless steel pans are not exactly high-tech, any one will do.
