Do any exist whose non-stickiness doesn't burn/scrape/wear off?  I'm
willing to use plastic/wood utensils...

Here's DuPont's page describing their current teflon coatings and

I had two consecutive non-stick frying pans, and I took care of them,
but the coating came off both times, if I recall the second one lasted
a fairly short time.

I got a cheap stainless steel frying pan with an aluminum plate on the
bottom and it works fine, and I don't expect it to somehow go bad.  I paid
something like ten dollars for it at some small kitchen store during a
sidewalk sale.  I was so happy with that, I bought a nice pot with
steamer insert for about $20 at a similar store and sale, again with
a nice aluminum plate on the bottom.

I don't miss the non-stick, indeed I think I got the non-stick frying
pans mostly because that's what there was at a price I was willing
to spend.

I'd like to avoid that.  I hate to throw things away and I'll suffer
using crap rather than pitch it in the trash before it's annoyed me for
at least a couple of years.


I've got some nice pans that I'm careful with, but they're too big for
most things.  I want it for pancakes, scrambled eggs, etc.  The eggs are
a real bitch.


Some of us are slobs and wash dishes BY HAND once a week, if that.  Easy
counts for a lot.
