Our frying pan has pretty much given up the ghost, I've had it years and it's been great, but it's losing the non-stick coating so my omlette yesterday ended up with half of it stuck in the pan. So, what are your recommendations for a good non-stick large frying pan? I don't mind the price, if it is worth it.

    I don't make a lot of omelettes, but I have a couple of fantastic frying pans from Judge. They have nice heavy bottoms and a really tough non-stick coating that 5 years on is still as good as new. One is large (28cm). It didn't come with a lid, but I got a glass one from Le Cruset that fits perectly. I also have a slightly smaller (26cm) sauté pan which is a deep frying pan with a lid. This is the one I use practically all the time.

    Téfal also do an excellent range of non-stick pans and they have a red heat-spot which is supposed to indicate when it's at optimum temperature. I've never owned one, but I used to have a lot of Téfal non-stick pans in the 90s. [that was when I had a green colour-coordinated kitchen; now I prefer stainless steel - classic :happy: )

    Stellar is also another really good brand.

    I'd pop down to John Lewis in Bluewater if I were you and have a look at their range... you can always compare prices in House of Fraser. And there's a Lakeland shop there too. I used to love shopping in Bluewater...but days of excess spending and eating are hopefully behind me :wink:

    I like the Anolon (Spelling?) pan we got about 8 years ago. Non-stick with a vented lid and it spreads the heat around nicely. And it does great pancakes

    the best frying pan pan to get is a cast iron pan, they will last forever, and once seasoned will be non stick.
    non stick pans are ok as long as you dont scour them or scratch them.
