Earlier I used to change every month. After penguin it was once in three months. Now, after EMD I think it will be once in six months.
how often do you guys change your pots and pans?

not mine but mine look very similar tbh, I gotta ditch the metal spatulas for a start, and invest in some higher quality cookware.. what brands do you guys use?

Hand wash only and use plastic or wooden utensils. We use these everyday for the last 3 years and they are virtually as good as new. Also, lifetime replacement if your ever unhappy with how they perform.

Also, if you cook casseroles, these are amazing:

Yes, they're $250, but you will never need another, and nothing matches them for slow cooking. My mother's had hers for nearly 40 years.

Stainless steel - Cuisinart. This is a good starter set (but you'll probably also want to acquire a 12" fry pan as well): [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP-12-MultiClad-Stainless-12-Piece/dp/B0007KQZWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1349214012&sr=8-2&keywords=cuisinart+stainless+steel+cookware"]Amazon.com: Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set: Kitchen & Dining[/ame]
Cast Iron - Lodge
Wok - the cheapest one you can find.
Really depends how much money you want to drop. All Clad are the pretty much the gold standard of stainless steel, but they'll run you a few times as much. Lodge is a good budget brand, and if you wanted non-enameled cast iron there isn't much of a reason to buy anything else. If you looking enameled cast iron, Lodge is good, but on the upper end you have brands like Le Creuset or Staub.
Go stop in at your nearest Williams Sonoma.
ROFLMAO!!!
OK, I'll chance it that this not a total TROLL THREAD.
1.) NEVER EVER heat a Teflon pan above MEDIUM HEAT on the stove or above 350* F in an oven. The Teflon will release FUMES that are toxic to birds and can cause respiratory difficulties in humans!!!
2.) Use only Wooden or Silicone utensils in the pan and DON'T CHOP SHIT UP WITH THEM IN THE PAN!!! ARGH!!!!! Lulz
3.) Use a GOOD Olive oil, Bacon Grease, Or Butter in the pan to cook your food in. It will help protect the Teflon coating and help the food to not stick.
I use Calphalon Anodized Aluminum pans as well as Calphalon Stainless steel and Calphalon Aluminum with copper clad bases & Teflon coatings.
I quit using my Cast Iron stuff. Just to LAZY to keep up with the conditioning and PROPER cleaning of them. lol
I use to FEAR stainless steel pans until I learned how to properly DEGLAZE them for EASY cleanup.

One of the best ways I have found to de-glaze a pan is one of the following
Fill the pan about 2/3 full of hot water with a tablespoon or so of lemon juice and bring to a rapid boil. Leave to boil for 5 to 10 min. This works really well. If you have a lot of really stubborn nasty shit really stuck to the bottom, add maybe a 1/4 cup (prob less) kosher salt to the mix once its begining to boil. The salt will act as a mild abrasive without scratching your pan

I had to check what pans and pots are, because frankly, I've never been in the kitchen in my life. I thought kitchen is not a place for men, but looks like I was wrong. I checked images of kitchen and pans on Wikipedia, so more less I have idea where my meals are coming from.
I hope my post did not offend any of you guys. I know beta males tend to be sensitive and cry when something goes against them.

I'm fed up doing all house work and cooking. You need to change your attitude and at least help me with dish washing.
Baby, don't be like that. But seriously, I'll hunt you down and chain you to the kitchen, if you walk out on me again.
Please don't out me on WF. Here I appear as a testosterone driven individual who shaves dry with knife.
We shall not have this conversation here then. Let's meet at our secret love spot.
cooking is for peasants
but on a serious note, this has to be a troll thread. I only use stainless steel though.

Teflon is full of carcinogens...if you use a metal fork or spoon and scrape it up, it gets in your food, and isn't terribly healthy for you. Most of it will pass through, but you really don't want that in your body.
I personally stick to stainless steel everything.
