Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

Our frypan has just about had it - the non-stick stuff is all coming off and everything tends to burn. Which is quite annoying as I think we paid more than $100 for it and it's only about 5 years old.
I'm thoroughly confused about what to get next. I want a frypan that will last for years and years, cook evenly, doesn't need tons of oil etc. Probably willing to spend up to $200. Can anyone recommend me a frypan they love? |

I had that same problem! Grrr... I ended up buying a le creuset (sp?) which should last forever. I think though it was about $300 but i figured i would save on buying frypans in the long run. HTH

I have a $3 cheapy that is 7 years old and going strong. It was originally 'non-stick' (whatever that means for a $3 frying pan), but I've just treated it like a cast iron pan and seasoned it well, and it's much better than actual non-stick.
I would love a proper cast iron pan too, but this one is much lighter. |

Jamie Oliver here. Love it. I only buy his stuff when Myer or DJs have a 40% sale though. Otherwise Peters of Kensington usually have them on sale.

We use Scanpan, we have non stick ones and stainless steel ones and we have found them all to be of very high quality.

The German brands, SKK and Woll, are the best for non-stick - I've had mine since last century.
SKK @ http://www.everten.com.au/SKK-Cookware.html WOLL @ http://www.cookware-direct.com.au Gastrolux is perhaps the next best and is also PTFE-free. http://www.biotanaustralia.com.au |
