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, Iโm 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 Andyโs request, I have mastered poaching thanks to SmittenKitchenโs masterful tutorial. What was I so afraid of?
Given the widespread complaints about these pans โ that they work great at first, but after three or four months of regular use the coating starts to flake off โ please make a posting something this fall about this pan and let us know if you are still happy with it.
I am a newsletter subscriber. Do I win the Baked Better Bread Prize?โ
I will give you guys an update in a few months. I did talk to my editor at Bon Appetit (where they first ran a story on it) who said they havenโt heard any complaints so far. But letโs see what happensโฆ.
Do you know if these pans work for an induction cooktop?โฆ..thanks!
yo J dawg where you buy that thing?
Jenny- Iโm just now discovering your blog (where have I been?), and you are a girl/mom/wife after my own heart! I love everything Iโve read. Iโve been on the search for a non-stick skillet to cook my eggs in too!!! Must get one of these.
Looks like my โhabitโ of reading blogs will not be broken today. Iโm seeing lots of things that I must read today on your blog.
So how is this skillet holding up? I just went to amazon to think about buying one because my pots and pans are toast and the reviews are pretty bad. Whatโs been your experience?
Howโs the Bialetti frying pan holding up? I could use a new one and have read the mixed reviews of the Bialetti.
