What do you think about Stonedine Pans?

The infomercial looks too good to be true.

I switch channels when that awful screeching advert comes on. The voice/nature of the advert actors indicates the market they're targeting....and to me, that indicates the quality is probably suited to that particular target market.

Are they the bright blue ones? I have one that my grandpa bought from an infomercial, they were a set of 3 I think but they were all a bit big for a single person. He kept one and gave my sister and I the others. I think they're great.

Productreview's not a glowing report.  38/59 say terrible

Yep, just read some reviews. The coating is fragile and you are not supposd to use high heat.

How on earth is one supposed to sear a steak?

I am looking for new frying pans, but I won't by Stonedine.

Anyone using a real good one that does not have the bottom buckle after a while?

Both of my old ones are wobbling on the hotplate of my stove.

I treated myself to a Swiss Diamond frying pan.  Cost a bit, from Robins Kitchen.  (Peters of Kensington advertise them for double the price that I paid, and call it a sale!)  Has a very heavy base. There are cheaper ones at Big W with a reasonably heavy base, then there are very cheap ones which as you say don't take long to bend.

Only one way to find out I spose

They certainly look good in the ad.

When buying frypans,they have to be heavy enough

to hit a burglar over the head with it. Not a lightweight one.

So,  I like enamel -coated cast iron.  You can get a great

crust very quickly on a steak   : )

i don't know about stonedine but ALL teflon frypans should NOT be put on high heat. it destroys the teflon and i think makes it unhealthy.

i buy el cheapo non stick pots and pans and usually they last forever.

the DO GET DESTROYED if you put them on HIGH HEAT.

since i don't have to share my pans with someone who puts them on high heat *rolls eyes* they seem to be indestructible.
