Can anyone recommend a good non-stick, non-toxic frying pan?

 

You might want to take a look at carbon steel. They don't have the non stick surface per se but release just as easily when seasoned and are oven safe for broiling.

Not sure what brand would be over there - mine are Merten Storck which I think are German. Solid stuff.

We currently have some Salter carbon steel ones - large and small frying pans and a wok. They're pretty good, especially as we paid less than £50 for the set. They're holding up pretty well but I'm after a medium non-stick one just for the variety and for the odd thing, IE eggs, that are tricky to cook in the carbon steel. At some point I'll probably invest in some proper cast iron but hopefully these last a few more years

A fairly trivial foody thing, but whilst I'm off sick from work I've tasked myself with streamlining our kitchen utensils and gadgets. Over the years, from multiple homes and house-shares, etc, we've accumulated far too many useless or cheap things and multiple tools to do the same task. 

 

For example, a modest purchase of a good microplane grater has replaced half a dozen poorer quality items in the drawer, some decent wooden spoons have replaced all the shitty plastic ones. 

 

A simple but immensely satisfying task that means I enjoy cooking more. Next, ditching the fondue kit, and other gadgets that we've been bought over the years. 

 

Can anyone recommend a good non-stick, non-toxic frying pan? I've been looking at the GreenPan ones but have never used them.

 

Oh and I made my first sourdough loaf yesterday since the little one arrived two years ago - I finally have a slither of time for this stuff. Or I need to get back to work.

Looks like he used my oven for half of it.

Back doing keto as it works best with my blood sugars so trying to find some spice blends to keep things different

 

I love the jerk spice mix below but its gone from £2 to £3.50 a jar now and i think they've changed the mix as the salt contents seems far higher

I know i can make my own but for speed on work days i like to just by some. 

Anyone got any go to spice mixes, i normally add some hot sauce and cream if needed. Looking for dry mixes rather than sauce. For all meats and fish

Beef curry. Started from scratch this afternoon and been cooking slowly for a couple of hours. The rosé is lovely too.

 

That looks lovely mate. What rice did you use?

Cheers mate, it was. The rice was just standard basmati. Cook for a bit then leave the lid on and forget about it while it soaks up the water.

 

The best and proper way to do it. Looks great.
