Will this work in a stovetop frying pan/skillet? I have a sensitivity to cooking oils &amp; don't like teflon/non-stick pans due to the chemicals. Thanks!

This mat is actually made of Teflon. Have you thought about using cast iron pans? http://www.komonews.com/news/consumer/Yoshi-grill-mat-Does-it-work-265637601.html?mobile=y

No, and I would never use a teflon non stick pan for deep frying. Use a Silverstone skillet and not a electric skillet.

I have this pan as well as other sizes and exclusively use them on my gas stovetop. The info that comes with the pan says not to overheat it as it could effect the non-stick coating.

http://www.nuwavepic.com/part/products.asp?ref_version=PPC-NONBRANDED-PN12 I'm sorry I can't answer your question from experience. The cited link takes you to a page of frying pans that are recommended by the manufacturer to be used with an infusion cooktop. I noticed that any pot or pan they recommend is made either of stainless steel or cast iron. I think this pan would work. It is being used in our household at least once a day. Great quality!

I wish I could help you. Truthfully, I'm retired, live alone, do not have a dishwasher, wash all my "things " by hand, and lastly, have not used the pan as of yet. I got it for a back-up in case the "Tod English Green Pan", I'm using, starts to chip. I have some other hard anodized smaller skillets, I've used, and I like them. I hope this helps.

The sides of this skillet are not high enough to hold enough oil to deep fry - approximately 2" high. Heated oil expands so it would be unsafe to use any more than 1/2" of oil in a shallow pan like this due to the probability of oil overheating and splattering/spillling out when food is added in. To safely deep fry you would need to use a boiler/pan with 5" or 6" sides so that oil won't spill over the sides when food is added in the heated oil.

.....that I don't know. I hope you can find out through their internet site. Or a salesperson at many of the places it's sold. There was a learning curve in making sure food doesn't stick (for just the frying pan), but it's healthier than teflon!

I read an article (while researching new pots and pans), saying that the oil sprays break down the nonstick coating--which I've witnessed on our old pans and griddle. However, I use cooking oil to saute and haven't had any problems. I'm wondering if the sprays' added chemicals is what breaks down the coating, as opposed to the oil itself. Hope this helps! :-)

Yes. I use it all of the time on my glass stovetop. Just be careful to keep the pan in one place so that the top will not be scratched by moving the pan around. I love this skillet and top.

Yes I don't see why not, I use it in the cast iron and my non stick both - works great. Just just have to be sure the skillet is large enough to allow it to lay flat on the bacon or sausage.

teflon itself is very chemically inert and resistant to most chemicals, so it won't damage the teflon. if there are any holes in the teflon, it might make those worse by reducing the adhesion of the teflon (or it might not, I don't know)

Not sure what oil is is seasoned with, I would compare it to buying a Lodge iron skillet that has been pre-seasoned. Definitely no Teflon of any other non stick. Had some heavy rains here in GA this summer and Had covered for a few weeks. Looks like it was starting to rust which I quickly re-seasoned and good to go. You can flip two of the quarters so all the grill marks are the same way by the way.

No our set doesn't work on our induction cooktop, also I don't know about the Teflon coating if they improved it or not our set is 2 yrs. old and we're already throwing pans away because of Teflon coming off.

This is a valid question for someone looking to buy cookware for an induction burner. PLEASE do not answer this question unless you really know what you're talking about!!! Some people don't know what an induction burner is and think anything that isn't electric coil or gas is an induction. It is NOT. The very easiest way to to tell if a pan will work is to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom. If it does, it will work with induction burners.

Oh, it absolutely will damage it. If you're using it in Teflon (non-stick), get a plastic spatula. This one is great for cast iron pans, though!

Fry pan is not non stick coated. I was disappointed in that part of it because I have an induction stove and have had many dishes stick to the pan, i.e. fried eggs
