    There's nonstick without pfas. Does it have other chems we have no idea about? Probably. But not pfas.

    Non stick isn't even good for cooking, get a nice stainless steel pan and see how much better food tastes

    Carbon steel is acceptable as well.

    Regardless of the type of pan you are using, you will find eggs ate much less likely to stick if you wait for the pan to be hot before you out the eggs in. I don't know why this is, but if you put cold eggs in a cold pan, they will stick when you cook them.

    Usually you need hot pan as the water will vaporise and make a vapor layer that prevent sticking

    For inox pan, it also avoid that the micro cracks in the metal move and expand during the cooking which tend to trap the food and make it stick a lot

    But you should avoid to heat a non-stick pan without food as it can emit toxic fume if it reach a critical temperature

    Solution: get a carbon steel pan.

    This grudge is why Thorin chipped the glasses and cracked the plates, even though that's what Bilbo Baggins hates.

    Reduce the heat. You are getting your pan too hot. Also, non stick or not, use some form of fat to aid in heat transfer and help keep it from sticking. You don't need a lot. A 1/4 tbsp will work.

    I'm 90% cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless but you need to be pretty committed or pretty scared to not use any nonstick if you are a busy person. Sometimes the ease of throwing something on a nonstick with little to no oil and a fast easy cleanup or leave it with sauce sitting in it for a day or two and then deal with it later just can't be beat. The trick with nonstick is to avoid high heats and buy a new one every two years or so. Go cheap when doing so. I've found no real advantage of the expensive nonsticks over the cheap ones.
