Produced by: www.stellaculinary.com - @ChefJacob In this culinary Q&A, I answer a viewer question who wants to know when it is, or isn't appropriate, to use non stick pans. Here is the view question: "I don't often see professional chefs using nonstick pans, probably because of the heavy use one would get, resulting in more scratches and throw-aways. However, for a home cook, do you have suggestions as to when to use a nonstick pan versus an all-metal pan? I have high quality pans and can't seem to get the food I cook not to stick. Is there a video that addresses this? James W, Dutton, Michigan"
