My cheap 10" teflon skillet is finally starting to go and I'm looking for a replacement. Honestly the only thing I really use it for nowadays is cooking eggs in the morning; I own a 12" cast iron skillet, 2qt triclad sauce pan and 4qt saute pan (also needs replacing) which along with my stock pot covers just about everything I do. Is teflon pretty much the only thing recommended for eggs or could I go with something else that's more long-lasting? I was looking at carbon steel and stainless steel pans (8-10"); would either of these work for eggs (scrambled, over-easy, etc.) or are they too much of a pain?

Steve Yun posted:You can use the cast iron for eggs, just turn the heat down and use a little oil or butter Maybe, but let's assume I'd rather cook them in something that doesn't weigh as much as that pan does.

I'm guessing there isn't much of a difference between low-cost toasters? Was looking to keep it around or preferably under $30 and don't need anything fancy, just bread and the occasional bagel, found this one which has 4 slots which is a bonus: http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-Slice-Touch-Toaster/dp/B0014E0UFQ

Would a food processor be the best tool for making my own salsas / bean dips / blending ingredients to help thicken soups & stuff, and if so, would this be a good one? The large one in the OP is out of my price range and the small one I think would be too small if I ever wanted to make stuff for work gatherings & such. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008J8MJIQ

mindphlux posted:if you get creative with your pot size (and depth of liquid), a stick blender would be much cheaper and probably do everything you want it to do. bean dips might be a stretch. Right now the processor is about the same price as a good stick blender ($30), I'm just curious if there's going to be a huge difference between this one and the more expensive Cuisinart model from the OP.

It looks like FoodSaver has a 20% off coupon on a few of their least expensive sealers on Amazon right now: http://www.amazon.com/FoodSaver-V2244-Vacuum-Sealing-System/dp/B0044XDA3S http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003U738ZE Not considering the upfront cost of the actual sealer, buying bulk rolls of vacuum bags seems like it'd be less expensive than ziplock bags (and probably simpler to freeze stuff with) if you're doing a decent amount of freezing, is that accurate?

Back in college I bought a cheapass set of T-Fal cookware. The only piece I still have is I think a saute pan? ~11" diameter and roughly 3-3.5 inches deep. The center is starting to raise now and heat doesn't seem to be getting to the outer edges of the pan. I was looking for a replacement for under ~$50 if possible, would something like this be a decent purchase? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7RNLXV

I'm waffling between saute pan sizes. Several years ago I bought one which, after measuring the other day, seems to be 4qt, ~11". It's super cheap, I don't know what brand, and until it started warping a few months ago worked perfectly fine (teflon coated). I want to buy a nice multi-clad (or similar) pan and the price difference between a 4qt and 5qt pan seems to be pretty small, however my 4qt already had a way larger base than my stove burner. Outside of price is there a good reason to go for a 4qt over a 5qt pan?

It's between these two, is there a reason to not go with the bigger one? https://www.amazon.com/Cooks-Standard-Multi-Ply-Stainless-Steel-5-Quart/dp/B00421AYK4 https://www.amazon.com/Cooks-Standard-Multi-Ply-Stainless-Steel-5-Quart/dp/B01ATZE4K2
