donkpow Posted December 7, 2022 Share #3 Posted December 7, 2022 I pretend that they are not scratched and continue using them until I begin to feel the effects of the toxic shock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use a sharpie to cover the scratch, good as new! A bandaid might work, too. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted December 7, 2022 Share #10 Posted December 7, 2022 I love my blue stone knockoffs from the Christmas Tree Shop. $12, $10 and $7 for three different sizes. They have been the most durable and slippery frying pans I've ever had. At those prices I just throw them in the dishwasher to clean. "Hello. I'm maddmaxx and I'm a heathen".

Kirby Posted December 7, 2022 Share #11 Posted December 7, 2022 I only have a few pieces I use and most of them are Revereware that isn't non-stick. Plus I barely use anything enough to scratch it, but if I did, I'd toss it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted December 7, 2022 Share #12 Posted December 7, 2022 After 35 years... the scratches go away. Then again... it's probably not non-stick anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted December 8, 2022 Share #13 Posted December 8, 2022 Hmm. lst I never put that type of skillet in dishwasher. Once there are several scratches, I throw away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted December 8, 2022 Share #14 Posted December 8, 2022 I use my cast iron and stainless steel a lot more than the non stick stuff, but I do like the non stick for some stuff, especially eggs. When it gets scratched up I throw it away, it is pretty cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a set of 3 Blue Diamond pans a while back. Are those Blue Stone knockoffs? They are really nice I got to say. Nothing sticks and super easy to clean.

MickinMD ★ Posted December 8, 2022 Share #18 Posted December 8, 2022 10 hours ago, Randomguy said: Please don't try to imply you don't have any non-stick cookware, btw. The only cooking pot or pan I use that's not non-stick is the 6 qt. stainless steel inner pot in my Instant Pot and I do any frying in a separate, non-stick pan then add it to the stainless steel pot so I don't have anything hard to scrub after pressure or slow cooking. If it gets more than a couple tiny scratches and is Teflon-type coated cookware, I toss it. If it's ceramic non-stick, a few tiny scratches are no big deal. I buy good buy low-priced non-stick cookware so it's not a big loss to replace it. I also buy silicone or other plastic spatulas, ladles, slotted spoons, big forks, tongs, etc. to use with them and rarely scratch them. I have one of those "granite" type, ceramic, non-stick lasagna pans (pic at bottom) and noticed a few very tiny, short scratches after using a stainless steel knife, so I bought this plastic knife, about a foot long, to prevent any more scratches - it was something like $7.99 and is not available on Amazon anymore, but there are even cheaper alternatives. Now I start the cut into the lasagna or casserole with a stainless steel chef's knife just to break the surface, then complete it to the bottom and edges with the plastic knife: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rule of RV/trailer ownership is to "shop your house" before buying new stuff for the RV. But...I think you're supposed to shop for what you "need" and will "use" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly don't know that I would ever use an old non-nonstick pan in it? I do have a couple of older scratched non-sticks that I leave in the house for the kids to cook on. They have not proved themselves worthy to use the new ceramic pan or especially my carbon steel pans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
