GSI stainless frying pan

[Janne]

I find that the Teflone coating looks fantastic for a couple of months, maybe half a year, then starts to deteoriorate.

We always buy good quality, Made in Europe stuff.
Did buy a pan of an American brand, Made in China. Lasted badly.
Teflone does not like high temperatures. I have ruined a few pans in the past when left dry on high heat.

Looks like a good pan, i have a variant by MSR alpine and i'm very happy with it for the way it spreads heat and the pack size. Great for frying up bacon, the making a light bannock with the grease left in the pan. Add bacon to one side on top of the bannock and cover with a bit of cheddar cheese on top. Fold the other side over to close it in and cover with a lid. Cook until the bannocks finished, you end up with essentially a sandwich with a bacon and melted cheese filling, brilliant breakfast.

If you can spare the pack size then these frying pans from ikea are great;

All metal with a good base to spread the heat. I have that smaller one linked for using outdoors and the 2 larger ones for the home. Made in Italy, and the nonstick is holding up very well.

I agree that it looks like a good pan, but, like others I'm a bit sceptical about non stick and what I might be ingesting in the long term.
Can I suggest an alternative? I recently bought a Pathfinder stainless steel skillet with lid from Hennie's (around £25 after the BCUK discount and with postage) and have found it to be an excellent pan. There's a YouTube video or two about seasoning it. I roughly followed the ideas, mainly to the extent of heating it full of oil on a stove - SWMBO was not impressed by the resulting fug, but the pan is pretty nonstick now.
I've cooked today's lunch, omelettes for 3, on it in the garden - lightly garnished with snow, but that's just a bonus - and have used the pan and lid for breakfast porridge several times. No problems so far. It has just over a 1litre capacity and it has a close-fitting lid. My plan is to use it as my main meal pan + my 700ml Stanley pot + either my Pathfinder mug or GSI mug (both with a lid) as my cook set for this year when cooking for myself and not using dehy food. All three pots will have a lid, so all can be used on a fire or a stove for a variety of purposes.
Just a suggestion, but one people might like.
All the best.
