Does anyone use Man Pans?
 
I am currently using 100% Stainless which I love! I have always kept at least one non stick pan around but my last one is getting kind of scuffed up and I need to replace it. So I've been looking around. I initially got sucked into those Green Pans you see on the Home shopping networks and thought I'd try one of those but they are getting some pretty bad reviews. So I found this Man Pan made in Spokane Wa. They are on the pricey side so I'd love a little push from someone who has one. Tell me it's a good thing.

3. I'm still totally sold on stainless.

I admit I only skimmed the article, but I don't trust anything anymore with any kind of coating, especially one that can be scratched off. "Beauty marks" sounds too much like someone coming up with a marketing gimmick as an excuse for poor quality. And scratches that disappear with only a damp cloth further causes me worry regarding the finish.

Too much bad history out there with regard to coatings. So this is teflon free? What is it coated with that may in the future prove to be less than safe?

franksolich uses only stainless steel, glass, or cast iron.

4. I hear ya with the coatings

These have an "all natural" coating of quartz and sapphire. I'm always skeptical too. I'm attracted to these because they are also supposedly light weight. As my arthritis worsens I can no longer handle cast iron and sometimes my larger stainless requires too much of an effort.

Those Man Pans are a little expensive, and how fair is it that this person wants to spent all that money on a pan and poor people get stuck with crappy pans that are 3 for $10? If people are going to preach about fairness it seems they need to start looking in the mirror.
