What's You Favorite Pan??

[FireMan]

Yup, yer right Skip. I’ve been sayin for two years or when my Stargazer first shipped, its the handle. The more you use it, the more you get hooked.

I have some Cuisinart SS pans that I've had for 35 years and while they have some baked on stuff on the outside they're still in impeccable condition for cooking. I've got my grandmother's Wagner cast iron skillets that are something like 70 years old and still rock. I've got a couple of new carbon pans which are nice and replacing the cheap non-stick.

I order mine bare and season myself. Get it bare. Steve B

Those Stargazer’s sure do look impressive. And you’re right about the price. Very reasonable and you can get them seasoned as well.
Oh boy. What I’m I gonna do. 😳

My Stargazer pans are quickly becoming my favorites. For the past month or so, I have cooked with them almost exclusively.

I am really a fan of the handles, IMHO, they are the best in the business. They stay pretty cool even after cooking for a long time. You can also rest the spatula right on the handle, it basically cradles it while your food cooks.

The cooking surface on my new 12" pan is really starting to develop a great finish, while my 10" is already there.

I have been a huge Finex and Smithey fan, and I still am, but these Stargazer pans are great too. And it is tough to beat the price when compared to the others.

My favorite pans? Too Many. Just a few that I use all the time.....

Finex No. 12 and 10. I use them all the time and love them. True work horses, and I love the handles.

My Stargazer pans are getting a ton of use these days too, I really love those pans, they are really underrated. Probably the best handle in the biz and a great finish.

Also, I have been using my Solidteknics Pan a ton as of late. Such a great pan.

My Marquette Castings No. 13 is also a great pan. The satin finish is incredible. It might be my favorite overall pan. I use it on the grill, fire and in the kitchen. Everyone should take a look at this pan.

My favorite over the fire pan is my Smithey. It is heavy with a great cooking surface. It perfect for the fire or the cast iron stove in the fall hunting tent.

For steel cookware, I have my mom's old All-Clad 10". I only use it once in a while but I love it.

Spinaker - You know poor ol’ Spin is going to stroke out over this one ...

Wow.
This is a tough one.
I really love my Field Co. #10 and the Lodge 12”.
But just replaced all of my other pans with Misen’s
Got their "Complete" set and also just received, from their kickstarter, their nonstick set.
So far they exceed all of my expectations.
But than again they are new.
If they hold up to the test of time, than, well I may have to reevaluate my choices.
But that’s not to displace any of my other CI pans.

My number 1 is my No. 7 BSR skillet, it's been my go to for almost 30 years now though it's getting a bit of a run for it's money from the new lodge 12".

Number 2 is the Lodge enameled dutch oven. Straight workhorse.

Number 3 is a tie between my wok and my 5 qt. Tramontina sauté pan.

Man, I love that Finex dutchie. So purty.
