[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nonstick is not for high heat - if you are browning or searing something, you need a different pan. I love my nonstick pan for eggs, but I cook them on low. It washes up fine.

I think that in general, people cook with too much heat. IMO the obsession with cooking over gas (vs electric) is mostly because people cook too hot.[/quote]

Is there a way to achieve the Maillard reaction with lower heat? I have never been able to get that.[/quote]

No - are you browning your eggs? That's unusual.[/quote]

Chinese food demands high heat. No better way to achieve the flavor otherwise.[/quote]

Ok, but then you don't want a nonstick. As I said at the outset, if you are browning something you need a different pan. Stop ruining your nonstick over high heat and then complaining that nonstick doesn't work.[/quote]

You seemed to have a hang up over people who obsess with cooking too hot, and I pointed out there was reason for it. But I see what you're doing. Have a  nice day bud.[/quote]

NP- I read the OP and of course want to pile on. You cannot cannot simply cannot use high heat with nonstick. You also can't stick it in the oven to finish off dishes. If you want to cook with high heat, oil, etc. use a different pan or get takeout. [/quote]
