    I like to take super glue in the store and dump it on all the pans. Whichever one doesn't stick is the one I get

    Yes the one I have is great- where are you in the world? I am in the UK so don't know if they would do outside Europe- I think it's a German brand. I dry fry everything in this:

    P.s. Don't get Tefal - mine lasted about 2 months.

    most start to stick after a while. Whatever pan you do get prolong the life by not using highest heat setting. They are not really meant for that.
    Costco has a decent line called Woll

    Yes you make a good point to keep it on a medium heat- also don't ever use metal spoons on it- and clean with a soft cloth no metal washing brushes!

    I got one at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $10 and it's great. If it wears out, I'll just replace it.

    My dad cooked on a well seasoned iron skillet when I was a child. I feel like food always tasted better with an iron skillet. I could not care less now..so much work. ;) In the ways of non-stick pans....I've used Revere non-stick and it worked okay until someone (probably me :( ) used a fork on it.

    I only use a well seasoned cast iron pan. Nothing sticks to it.

    they are so easy to clean. use a food scraper to get off the larger things that might have been stuck, then apply regular salt liberally. use a paper towel with a bit of water and everything will wash away easily. dry on high heat on the stove, then grease with a bit of olive oil after it is cooled. i use mine every day.

    Bumpity doo. Anything new?

    Had a Bialetti Aeternum frying pan, but for some reason (despite being careful) it took a crap. Scrambled eggs were fine one day and a nightmare the next. Just got a T Fal for eggs, so we'll see how that goes. I also have some cast irons that have a bit of potential if I gave them a little love. For me, that would be ideal.

    The green pan is awesome. You need almost no oil.

    I love cast iron. However, I haven't found I can cook scrambled eggs or Asian stir fry in them without using more oil than I'd like to use. You?

    I got some sort of cheap green pan at Walmart but it stopped being non stick after a few months. I'd bought it locally so I could take it back.

    In America's Test Kitchen stir fry recipes, they use a 12" T-Fal Pro. ATK rates non-stick skillets here: http://www.americastestkitchen.com/equipment_reviews/1259-nonstick-skillets and the 12" T-Fal Pro is their winner. On Amazon, some reviewers complained that it domed in the middle, so I bought it on sale at Kohl's so it would be easy to return if I had that problem, which I didn't.

    12" is too big for one serving of eggs, despite all the veggies I add to mine, so I bought a 10" pan a few months ago, this time from Amazon. I love them!

    I normally add a tablespoon of oil when I make popcorn on the stove and am wondering how much less I could use in a T-Fal pot. I bought some microwave popcorn recently and it just isn't as good as stove top. Maybe it's the cooking method; maybe it's that T of oil.

    I still have three cast iron pans, one of them a Griswold from my grandfather, and use them for foods that don't require a lot of oil, like whole cuts of meat.
