Is this a good pan for a guy who only wants to own one pan?

>>21459681 (OP)
looks good enough to me

>>21459681 (OP)
>ceramic
It'll stay nonstick for like two weeks.

>>21459704
Using metal utensils in his pan, I'd backhand him if I saw him

>>21459704
I do have multiple plates (Corelle of course)

>>21459707
Well at least that's within the return period

>>21459704
LMAO

Everyone starts off with just one. There's nothing wrong with it. Cooking is a fundamental life skill and you need to make it your desire to get better at it and expand your skills and toolset or else you're going to end up an obese and poor shithead that eats fast food for every meal

get stainless steel
and one smol nonstick pan only for eggs

>>21459907
cast iron it is

>>21459681 (OP)
I have one of these and its awful
the bottom is rounded so it cant ever get good heat transfer and it wobbles back and forth

the "T" thing in the middle is some weird color changing paint and rubs off red particles when I wiped it

>>21459681 (OP)
Get a 12" cast iron.

stainless steel saute pan is all you need, made stir fry in it yesterday

>>21459704
>typical one pan owner.webm
There's half a dozen pots and pans just in that clip.

>>21459704

i can barely cook and i weigh 150lbs. i was 140lbs 20 years ago.
you dont need to cook in a service economy, there are a shitload of food
prep options. all you need to do is not be retarded and not eat loads of dogshit every goddamn day.
being fat is such a self own. i laugh at fatties

>>21460457
No there isn't

>>21459681 (OP)
lol why did they censor the letter E?

>>21460496
probably chink knock-off brand

In the United States, Tefal is marketed as T-fal. This change was made to avoid trademark issues with DuPont's "Teflon."

>>21460466
>i can barely cook
Then why are you here?

>>21460603
gotta start somewhere

>>21459681 (OP)
Project Farm found Granitstone Blue Diamond to be the best bang for the buck. I bought some and agree, they've lasted longer than TFal and are amazingly slick when new. Tramontina is also a very good value.

tl;dr TFal is shit.

>>21460520
For me, it is "sports".

>>21459681 (OP)
Keep in mind the 500 degrees safe rating is not for glass lids.

>>21459681 (OP)
if it's your only pan you probably won't be very happy. making burgers or eggs in that would be annoying. I use those pans when I'm making something wet that makes the straight walls useful, otherwise they'd just get in the way. plus you can't pour out of it at all. also fyi if you go to their website you can get a cheap set

>>21461340
Has nothing on AILE and their famous slogan "Do it maybe, if you find the time.".

>cant ever get good heat transfer
Electric hob faggot get out.

Why the sheet?

this a gimmick thread but your gimmick is stupid. if' you're doing any amount of cooking you're going to eventually need to cook things at the same time in different pans.

>>21459681 (OP)
if you only own one pan, that's a good shape the start with.
i've owned a lot of different non-stick pans in my life. the absolute best have been my ninja foodie never-stick. nice and heavy, textured, i've used them constantly for the past ~2 years and they are just as nonstick as when i first got them. highly recommend.

>>21459681 (OP)
If it got bad reivews, would it be panned?

One pan person here. I went with Meyer Accolade Stainless Steel 12.5" Everyday Pan.

- Encapsulated bottom is great. I've had cheap pans warp on me because of thin bottoms. Plus it's got fantastic thermal mass for heat distribution.

- Proper non-stick coating. Not ceramic that lasts 2 weeks. All of their pans come with a LIFETIME warranty.

Comes also in a basic stainless steel version if you don't like non-stick. But, this non-stick is actually solid. I've been blasting it with heavy cooking for months, and it still looks brand new. Mess just slides off under running sink water.

>>21461328
>are amazingly slick when new

And 2 months later are garbage. I personally love non-stick, just not ceramic non-stick. And I have personally bought 2 blue diamond pans when I was inexperienced.

>>21461978
Then you bought a different model, because the one in my pic is still going strong. Or you're using metal utensils like a retard.

>>21459681 (OP)
>ceramic nonstick
If you want to limit yourself to a single pan, it has to be stainless steel

>>21459681 (OP)
You can get away with one piece of cookware, but it is going to limit you. You just need to consider what you'll be making. Sautee pan is a good option, but frying a lot of things in it sucks. and it pretty much can't make things that require a pot like instant ramen or mashed potatoes. You get a lot more milage out of a fry pan and a saucier. Either way, just get stainless steel. Non-stick is convenient, but just limits you even more.

>>21463572
I get away with 1 pan and 3 pots.

1 quart pot for ramen, gravy, etc.
2 quart pot for mac & cheese, medium size batches of pasta, etc.
8 quart stockpot for sterilizing jam jars, cooking long spaghetti, etc.

My one pan is >>21461959

I used to have shitloads of assorted pots and pans, and after downsizing to 1 pan and 3 pots, cleaning and storing is so much more enjoyable.

Anyone looking for 1 or 2 quart pots, grab the OXO Pro set before it's gone. OXO is partnering with a ceramic coating company and are moving away from their gold standard non-stick pots.

>>21459681 (OP)
No it's got a weird coating. Get stainless steel or cast iron.

I kind of want to go minimalist kitchen as well. I am thinking of just getting a mess tin, single knife and cutting board, single fork, and seeing how far I can get with just those tools.
I don't usually cook anything too adventurous and I'm fine with it looking like sloppa. I only ever cook for myself (permavirgin will never have a woman in my house so why care?)
I've realized 90% of everything every man buys is to impress women. Now that I've awoken to this Matrix I am trying to escape and buy only the things that improve MY life and not useless shit that schlomo has convinced women that men should have.

>>21463890
I say just get a stainless steel pot, stainless steel pain with high sides, or a air fryer & pressure cooker.

The guy is obviously trying to simplify things and yet all the hipsters in here are suggesting stainless steel, baka, as if he wants to spend all of his time cleaning the damn thing.
