The Search is Over

By February 28, 2012October 2nd, 201383 Comments

Besides the meaning of life, there are three things that I am forever in search of: An affordable, authentic spindle bed for my 8-year-old; dining room chairs that I love as much as our kitchen chairs; and an easy-to-clean, nontoxic skillet in which I can fry or scramble my beloved morning eggs. Thanks to the cookware sleuths at Bon Appetit, Iโ€™m delighted to say that I can check this last obsession off my list. You are looking at my brand new Bialetti Aeternum 10-inch nonstick saute pan, which is 100% Teflon-free and which only set me back thirty bucks! A very small price to pay for the happiness it brings me every time I clean it with a little water and a single swipe of a dishtowel. Even my egg-hating kids peered over the edge of the pan, noses wrinkled, to steal a peek of the action.

PS: In other egg news, per Andyโ€™s request, I have mastered poaching thanks to SmittenKitchenโ€™s masterful tutorial. What was I so afraid of?

    The first few reviews on Amazon comment on the nano-ceramic coating wearing off or forming pinholes. Has this happened to you? What your thoughts on this?

    I am so excited to buy that pan for my egg loving husband! Thanks for the 411!

    editorial request: will you run a photo of this pan in about three or four months? i want to see how well its shiny white interior holds up (will it scuff and scrape?). also, i *just* learned about poaching an egg in a pouch of saran wrap. (maybe that could warm the girls to eggs? Egg โ€œpresentsโ€? It worked with fish, didnโ€™t it?)

    My egg hater daughter, just today, asked to try our eggs next time we make them โ€” this is a huge improvement over the horrible faces and faux gakking noises that preceded earlier attempts to interest her. Thereโ€™s hope yetโ€ฆ

    Can you give us an update on that pan after a few months? Iโ€™d be interested in hearing if itโ€™s a long-term love affairโ€ฆ

    Because the only way for bread to be better, is for it to be baked better bread!
