I just got 14 fucking nonstick pots and pans and I already had stainless steel ones. Is there any reason to keep the old ones? Like what is the point of sticky pans

To stick to the side of your cabinet apparently.

How do you get them to stay put like that?

Papertowel neutralizes non-stick properties, allowing the pots to stick.

Nonstick are great, they just have to be tossed out every 6-8 months and suck at making gravy.

They were a gift mate. They seem pretty nice, it's that anodized aluminum instead of Teflon and they're oven safe. I'm just not sure when a steel pan is more suitable than a nonstick one.

I'm not sure what kind of retard you have to be to get things stuck in a POT, but whatever, if you need training wheels, go for it.

The drawbacks are obviously the same as non-stick pans, there's a bunch of things you simply can't do without fucking up the coating. And even if you avoid all those, they wear out. Whereas a stainless will literally outlive you.

High temps, metal utensils, long/a lot of exposure to acids, cooling it off under water, bring on a camping trip... list goes on.

You can use high temperature if it's the new stuff instead of Teflon, but the other points are valid.

Ooh, someone made a comment that hurt my feelings on 4chan. I'm a special little snowflake that never had anyone talk so rough to my feeling center.

I think this might have given me autism. I'm going to my analyst first thing to get some medicine. Oh, my feeling center hurts. /ck/ is worse than Hitler. Ooohh.

To answer your question, you shouldn't use non-stick pans on high heat, since it ruins the coating. Similarly you shouldn't use any sharp utensils that may chip or scratch the coating, or you'll just be ingesting pieces of non-stick from then on.

So use the stainless steel if you're frying a steak, or making a stew that you know you'll put to high heat to reduce. That kind of stuff.

Generally speaking though you have far too many pots\pans.
