We have just reviewed and tried the amazing PORTO Non-stick Fry Pan and we give it our seal of approval. Not only am I amazed at how affordable this non-toxic fry pan is ($32.99 for the large 11" size), the performance totally blew me away. Even and thorough heat. Non-stick surface that really doesn't let anything stick, not even without oil. Very sturdy and seemingly indestructible construction. I am truly amazed by it!
One of you will win the 11" PORTO Non-stick PTFE and PFOA free Fry Pan and the Multi-size pan cover

I use Cast Iron pots and pans. Always have.
ReplyDeleteCarol L.
Partially. I do like to use my cast iron when I can, but I do still use Teflon.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Teflon was bad... I have to look into finding something better
ReplyDeletesibabe64 at ptd dot net
I have a cast iron pan that I used frequently at my old house, but we have a glass stovetop now, so I can't use it here. I recently purchased an orgreenic skillet to add to my stainless steel collection, and I'm enjoying it. I haven't thrown out my teflon-coated griddle yet, but I think I will today. I haven't used it once since acquiring the new skillet almost a month ago...
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to get rid of all of ours. I do have a cast iron one I try and use all the time but it is pretty small.
ReplyDeletekimberlysummer40@aol.com
My pots and pans are so outdated- I really do need to make the healthy switch!
ReplyDeleteI am currently shopping around. I would love to get cast iron.
ReplyDeleteI love my cast iron and stainless still not sure if I'm ready to switch over???
ReplyDeleteCast iron and stainless are great! A much much better option than non-stick Teflon. I have a stainless one I use sometimes with lots and lots of coconut oil to keep things from sticking :)
DeleteWe use mostly cast iron pans, but I still face a few non-stick pans around. I'd love to get them out the door!
ReplyDeleteSwitched to eco- no stick :)
ReplyDeleteI did switch to Eco-non-stick i have one little one for eggs and large flat one for everything else. However just few days ago having too much going on in the kitchen i forgot i left my frying pan on with some coconut oil and i ruined my pan, no matter how hard and long i was scrubbing it with baking soda i have a dark brown bottom on one side it's a bummer it was my one and only frying pan. Would be great to win this and try it out.
ReplyDeletewe have 2 cast iron frying pans
ReplyDeletemeikleblog at gmail dot com
I have not use one I stll use the old iorn skillets
ReplyDeleteI would love to move to cast iron or safer cookware... I'm trying to convince the hubby that it wouldn't be such a big deal to switch. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have Teflon coated pans and I would love to replace them with eco non stick but we can't afford to replace our pans.
ReplyDeleteI am slowly switching over, but I still have a few old pans that we only use once in a while.
ReplyDeleteWe're trying to change over to stainless.
ReplyDeletemy pots and pans are teflon coated
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to transition to eco-nonstick but haven't yet.

I always use steel cookware
ReplyDeleteWe are slowly changing over and have a few eco-friendly pans/skillets. The regular ones we have are just no-name non stick pans and I have some that are not non-stick that were passed down to me when my grandparents passed away that are probably older than me (I think they are stainless steel).
ReplyDeletetvpg at aol dot com
I have switched to stainless and cast iron already!
ReplyDeletemasugr at yahoo dot com
We are slowly switching as budget allow - this would be a great help
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to switch yet, but we do have a few cast iron skillets. I've been looking for a new set so it's good to know not to buy this kinds again!
ReplyDeleteOur pans are so old and crappy. We need something new. These look great!
ReplyDeleteMandinav(at)aol(dot)com
Switched to stainles and cast iron years ago, but I must confess I do miss non-stick sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI use stainless steel, cast iron and have one small ceramic coated skillet (plan to get a second larger one eventually!)
ReplyDeletedeborah
I have cast iron pans!
ReplyDeletei use tfal need new up to date cookware just cant afford it at this time ,i been wanting to switch for along time
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know. We still have teflon
ReplyDeleteI just switched to stainless last year and LOVE the difference!
ReplyDeleteI use a basic teflon non-stick skillet.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved cast iron. All of my pans are cast iron or stainless steel. I didn't know about Teflon being bad for people but as I bird owner I know that cooking with Teflon near them can make them sick so I avoid it.
ReplyDeletei got rid of tfal and now use stainless steel. i have heard of the toxins.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made the switch yet, but apparently I should
ReplyDeleteYes, I made the switch a few years ago. I like using stainless steel or ceramic coated for everything except the frying pan.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know...honestly..thats scary, and definitely going to have to change in our household...we will most likely change to stainless :)
ReplyDeleteoddball2003 at hotmail dot com
I have switched over a couple pans
ReplyDeleteWe use mostly stainless and cast iron but do stlll have a few of the non-stick pans.
ReplyDeleteI still use my Teflon pans but will change over to the new pans.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of switching over all my pans to ceramic.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't made the switch yet. we use non-stick pans. gee.... kinda makes me feel I'd be better off eating out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this great prize!
I think eating out is even worse because not only do you not know what they cook on, you don't know what's in your food either! :) At home at least you know what you are eating if you're cooking from scratch lol
DeleteFor me there wasn't really a switch to make. I grew up with a wood stove, so cast iron was by far the most suitable option. Since then, while roommates usually do have some non-stick stuff around I have not been satisfied with the way it cooks things enough to use it more than a handful of times. And that's besides the health concerns!
ReplyDeleteI use a combination of teflon and cast iron.
ReplyDeleteWe have all stainless steel or non toxic non stick... I do know of the dangers but am moving as we can.. We still have a few cakepans/cupcake pan of non stick. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI use stainless All-clad for most of my cooking. I do have a non-stick fry pan that I use for eggs that is not eco-friendly. Its on my wish list for my upcoming birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteyikes i still use teflon
ReplyDeletenannypanpan@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI have been looking at going ceramic. Right now I am using non-stick
ReplyDeletewe use cast iron
ReplyDeleterierie11booger (@) yahoo.com
I have heard about Teflon, and we are slowly but surely making the switch.
ReplyDeleteTracy Awalt Juliano
As items wear out we make the switch - but mostly still have the toxic pans.
ReplyDeleteI have not switched mostly because I had no idea about Teflon leaching toxins when heated. I will be making the switch for sure.
ReplyDeleteI made the switch from nonstick pans to stainless about a year ago. It took me forever to learn how to cook in them though!
ReplyDeleteWe have switched to all stainless steel.
ReplyDeleteI am eager to switch to a non toxic form of cooking after reading about the toxicity of Teflon. Thank you for the contest.
ReplyDeletescriff81@yahoo.com
I currently have Teflon pans but didn't realize they could leach toxins.......will start switching over
ReplyDeleteI've been using teflon pans forever! And now that they are pretty much worn out, I'll be shopping for stainless steel ones. Thanks.

I am starting to change over but it is very expensive. I like ceramic the best over cast iron.
ReplyDeleteI still have teflon, but I'd love to switch
ReplyDeleteI have yet to be able to switch.
