Searching for a NON non-stick Fry Pan

I've given up on nonstick. I have a heavy aluminum fry pan that I used for a long time, but now I'm back to cast iron. It's old, but nothing I've found beats it.

The only thing I use nonstick on is eggs/omelets. Nonstick doesn't last long and if properly seasoned, cast iron works very well -- though sometimes I just don't want to re-season cast iron after every use. And by re-season, I mean simply cleaning with either kosher salt or, if really smudged up, plain water and a plastic scrubby. Put it back on the stove to drive off the water, and after heating to about 350 or so, about a tablespoon of grapeseed oil. Wipe it around, let it set, then it's done.

I love my cast iron (Stargazer 12" and a Stargazer braiser) and a few other odd pieces, but it does take some maintenance.

Cast iron is good to cook on, but you can't beat a stainless steel Teflon pan for ease of cleanup. Just throw it in the dishwasher! :) Food does taste better cooked on cast iron, though.

I still have a few of the smaller saucepans left over from my collection of RevereWare. That is, those I didn't burn up from lack of attention while cooking - sigh. My mother had a set when I was a kid. They work well, but you do have to watch what's going on - duh. :oops:

Yes, I have, but I really prefer the plastic scrubby from Dobie. The Dobie gets a little funky with the stuff it picks up, but I don't mind. If it gets really bad or cut up from cleaning my knives, I just throw it away. Fairly cheap, but I do not buy the sponges wrapped in some sort of netting. Those are REALLY cheap. I prefer the Dobie.
 
I like the Scrub Daddy.

My present set of non-stick frypans are All-Clad. I use the 10” one so much it’s basically worn out.

The only skillet I have with a lid is a club aluminum set I've had for 55 years. The trouble is, after I cook the skillet meal my son has to carry it to the table. Those things are heavy!

I've got half a set of those that may be that old. My ex has the other half. I think they last forever.

That's why I linked to the all clad "seconds" store where the 10" fry pan and lid is $80.

This is only valid for US customers. Thanks for thinking of this though. Maybe someone else here can use it.
