Hi Chilens, Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes recipe asked for a non-stick skillet. Just wondering what other peoples experiences have been with these so-called non-stick skillets. They seem to work for such a short period of time! I've bought the most expensive, I've kept them in a pillow case in my pan cupboard, I've never used any abrasive cleaner nor anything other than nylon utensils, and they never seem to work well for more than a year! Baring mysterious scratches that can never be accounted for, they look just like new. But try and cook an egg (with chile sauce, to make things more on-topic) and it needs to be pried and poked from many different angles, center bit sticking and braking the yolk, of course. This in a non-stick pan with a generous glugg of olive oil. I cook with gas.... Steve Wilderness South Africa
