Are you a Johnny Horton fan?

FWIW, I’m liking my Misen. It’s my go to for pretty much most of my cooking.

Make the cast iron your everyday pan. You will love it.

For me, cook wear needs to be something cheap because I’m a “spiller onner me-er” and also needs to be fire resistant because, well, sometimes get distracted...

I should probably invest in a nomex suit but I just don’t cook that often to make it worth the money.

All clad. Look to tjmaxx. They have Italian stock pits, all clad. Buy retail at wm sonoma.

I have their small frying pan. It is pretty durable.

Rather than non-stick try the hard anodized. It last a lot longer and doesn’t have the minor health issue Teflon has. It’s a bit more expensive but last for a long, long time

Gotham steel line is very nice ceramic nonstick line of pans that are inexpensive and work

For max lifespan use wood/plastic utensils and just regular dawn dish soap for cleaning

All clad.

I tend to microwave in Corelle or grill.

[GnuThere]

I read some “Best rated” list and got a non-stick Tramontina pan.
I’ve been happy with it. Great for eggs.

I really like cast iron- it’s been in the family for over 100 years. I also have some “Magnlite” pots that have held up great.

Lodge Cast Iron pans are cheap pop-outs. The real good cast iron pans were machined smooth and slick on the inside and were superb. You might find one in a garage sale. Good luck.

[LongWayHome]

I just use my cast iron. 40 years old and good as new.

I use my Lodge cast iron almost daily. Perfect non stick pan.

"You got T-Fal?"

"Calphalon."

"No good! Follow me!"

[PROCON]

It all depends on what you're cooking.

I’ve always been pleased with Farberware. 47 years.

Calphalon is highly rated/used by professional chefs.

See their Anodized non-stick (no teflon) cookware sets and individual items.... at... WalMart. Was amazed Wally world carries this.

AllClad is another fine brand, again Anodized non-stick surface.

Personal experience with Calphalon (purchased from a restaurant supplier), and with Anodized non-stick smaller pans from:

Cuisinart (excellent little 10 inch pan) and
Kitchen Aid— 12 or 14” pan that has lasted 8 years plus continuous use (mostly as meat prep/sauces pan).

The best has been the Calphalon.

If budget is the issue-— good reviews (and can find them sometimes at an Ollie’s discount store— is Tramontina (the non-stick surface is a white kind of proprietary ceramic).
