Safe under high heat and even when damaged, the ceramic coating applied on ceramic pots and pans provide a simple, non-toxic solution.

It is quite "rare" in Singapore though. It requires some maintenance (keep dry and oiled) as it can rust if not maintained properly. For those more advanced types with enamel, it is more resistant to rust.


The high-end cast iron brands are Le Creuset, Staub. These are not cheap.

The cheaper brand is Lodge. Overall, such cast iron pans are extremely durable, and can last generations if maintained properly (e.g. can pass to your grandchildren).

Google: "cast iron pan singapore review" for more details.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6462775/Mens-penises-half-inch-smaller-chemicals-non-stick-frying-pans.html[quote]Scientists have found the chemicals, called PFCs, can interfere with male hormones and lead to sexual organs being 'significantly' shorter and thinner.

And this effect is not only seen in the womb, the researchers said. PFCs could have toxic effects in teenagers, too.

The chemicals, also found in waterproof clothing and greaseproof packaging for food, get into the bloodstream and reduce testosterone levels
.... ... ... ...
.... ... ... ...
The Italian researchers found PFCs will bind to testosterone receptors and reduce levels of the male sex hormone used in the body.

As a result, men grow up with smaller penises, less healthy and mobile sperm and a shorter distance between their scrotum and anus – a sign of lower fertility.
.... ... ... ...
.... ... ... ...
PFCs are also in some glues, cosmetics, medicines, electronics, cleaning products, polishes and waxes, insecticides and paints.

But their toxic and potentially cancer-causing effects are only in the early stages of being understood by scientists.

Studies have linked the chemical to early menopause, low birth weight, lower fertility, thyroid problems, high cholesterol, bladder cancer and worse immune system function.

The chemicals can get into the body by being absorbed by the intestines from food and drinking water, or be breathed in.

From here they get into the bloodstream and can be toxic for foetuses when consumed by the mother and for teenagers, who undergo big hormonal changes.

For men, being exposed to PFCs while in the womb can result in higher levels of female hormones in adulthood, and developing smaller penises.[/quote]

[quote=\"MrsKiasu\"]No need throw the big wmf flat wok. I used the non stick 28cm pan to fry veg, meat, noodle separately then poured one after another into the wmf wok and mix them well.


Then you have 2 pots to wash!

Coz i need to stir fry them separately so will need plates too. So for this noodle dish, i could freely mix them well coz the wok is big enough, after pouring all other ingredients in.[/quote]Wow Mrs ks , sounds like u cooking for 10 pax meal . I stir fry ingredients first then followed by fried noodle or rice all in one happy call diamond wok -

Mrskiasu,

I saw the poster for the small stone marble ceramic pan free with purchase of Nestlé products.
Is the pan good?
I used that few times to make omelet for 2 person. I used a metal spoon to keep stirring. it looks fine. BUT that is a mini pan. very small.

edit to add...better don't use metal spoon. took a closer look should be just a coating.

I bought a set of Neoflam nonstick pans from isetan...very careful with it like not washing immediately after cooking and nonstick ladle...yet, food still sticks very badly to the base. I definitely need non stick...any recommendations?

I read from the review on Neoflam non stick too when I was tempted to buy it the other day. So that is true..so misleading if they put non stick.

I m using Meyer non stick.I remember supposed to be durable but just now when I looked at it. used few times only..dunno due to bones or the cheapo ladle with teeth set that I m using..got scratches.. also using the newer ASD non stick pan, so far non sticking. the small stone marble ceramic pan free from purchase of Nestlé prod for egg omelet.i used metal spoon on this..looks pretty good.

nowadays, like electrical appliances..I will buy cheap/deep discount non stick pan..the most I estimate I m able to use the non stick is for 1 year. btw , my big flat wmf wok is a sticking wok.
