Any thoughts on making the official non-stick recommendation that 2pack Calphalon? It seems to make sense to me given the lifetime warranty. Even with careful use, the T-fal fails after a couple years.

What are you guys doing to your nonstick, that you just assume it'll be ruined after a few years? I have a cheap Farberware and it's lasted 10+ years. I hardly babysit it, either -- I just don't use metal tools or the green scrubby side of the sponge.

I'm not talking about ruining it, but the degradation of effectiveness of the non-stick is really obvious. I used the word 'fails' purposefully. My expectation is to be able to make sunnyside eggs without oil without any sticking.

I didn't have scratches on mine when I binned it for what it's worth. It just annoyed me one too many times with a layer of egg that unstuck only after cooling.

I use cast iron on my glass top. Never had a problem with it.

if you eat a lot of rice the zojirushi.

Agreed... I have both and I can't live without my Zoji. No, I can't make oxtail in under an hour without it, but I can just smack that poo poo in my dutch oven morning of and come out fine. I don't often care about shortening the time to make stuff that I do in my Instant Pot.

But I'm Asian and eat tonssss of rice. I have the Umami Zojirushi and it makes the most amazing umami white rice and GABA brown rice. I made 3 dry cups worth of brown rice the other day for onigiri, and my two brothers ate the whole pot. I can make this poo poo in an instant pot or on the stove, but they take so much work out of it and it's more of a regular day thing. It also keeps rice edible in the pot over a couple days if it's just my husband and I.

Powder. Liquid is a scam.
