12'' Beautiful by Drew Barrymore Non-Stick Frying Pan (Various Colors)

Maybe ET left her a replicator

tl;dr - the right tool for the right job. carbon steel if you can get used to seasoning, non-stick otherwise

Heed advice from this random on the internet...non-stick pans have a limited life expectancy NO MATTER WHAT the manufacturer tells you, and this applies to every form...ceramic, PTFE (or what people know of as "teflon"), and every other rebranding of these two materials. And the VAST majority of manufacturers will refuse to acknowledge any defect when you start to get flaking, even if you never abused it.

That is not to say that I dont like them. Theyre essential for low-oil cooking, and great for potstickers. But after spending $200+ on All-Clad non-stick and seeing them weasel out of exchanging them, I just dont put the $ in them anymore.

The recent ones I got, Ninja Foodi Neverstick (from Kohls deal a year ago) almost looked like it would defy this trend, but after ONE YEAR, the pots (not even the frying pans, the POTS!) started to flake. I just exchanged the whole 10-piece set yesterday (literally fedexed it last night), and their service is pretty good...but their 10-year ("lifetime") warranty will be getting a lot of mileage...because the coating will simply not last.

I got some relatively cheap OXO softworks nonsticks from Costco (#1 recommended on ATK), not because they are indestructable, but because I know OXO will exchange or replace with no question...and if they dont, Costco will step in.

I cannot recommend the Thyme and Table (and presumably this) line of nonsticks highly enough. They are a ceramic coating of some kind (no PFOAs, no teflon etc), I usually get about 4-5 years of heavy use out of them before buying my next set (just bought my third set, current ones aren't in bad shape, I just like some of the new sizes the Thyme and table is being sold in.

Never buy cooking products with celebrity name attached.
