novice at cooking here. know the basics and can make some decent tasting dishes without the need of a recipe, but not enough to know the full ins and outs of cooking.

since i moved out of my parents’, i’ve been cooking with cheap pans pots and pans from ikea, and while they do the trick for most of my cooking, i cannot for the life of me make decent eggs without them overcooking and sticking, butter/oil help a little bit but not consistently. the electric range is def a hurdle to learn coming from gas, but most of my other dishes seem to come out fine.

anyway, i’ve been looking into some decent pans that meet the following criteria:

  • nonstick without chemicals (teflon/PFAS/whatever)
  • induction burner compatible, as i plan on getting a burner at some point
  • (optional) comes in an 8in and 10in size
  • (optional) oven safe

from what i’ve seen so far the “Analon EverLast N₂ Carbon Steel” seems like what i’m looking for based on reviews but i also wanted to ask for people’s opinions before making a purchase

    I use ceramic coated cookware. Nothing really sticks to it. Farberware should be fairly cheap for a set. Im not really a fan of cast iron mainly for the weight. I don’t like feeling like i’ve just done a full set at gold’s gym every time i cook scrambled eggs.
