I need a good non-stick frying pan - suggestions?

I recently bought a set of T-Fal and so far it has been working really well. The nonstick surface is really great, and I can finally cook eggs no problem. to maintain them, I never put them in the dishwasher and use only a soft dish cloth or sponge (never a scrubbie!). I also never, ever use metal utensils in them. Most nonstick cookware is made from either aluminum or hard anodized aluminum. Go for the hard anodized, because it is more durable. Also, the best pans are thicker and heavier- this distributes the heat more evenly. T-Fal was about mid-range in terms of thickness. Caphalon was better, but I couldn't afford it.

T fal is good!!!!! I think we just have to be careful when washing it......it can be damaged very easily!.

I just had to reply. this past Christmas i threw out my old Teflon sauce pan and went to get a new on at bed bath and beyond. i didn't know what the heck to get so i tracked down someone and asked which is the best one to get in a non-stick form. i asked about Teflon and he said NO because its not that great and as i knew after a while it tears easily and starts to flake off. i needed something i could use A LOT like almost every night if not every other night. He told me that Anodized pans are a WHOLE lot better. they come in different prices depending on how you want them. i got mine for about $50-$70 and it was a lot better then my $20 Teflon one my mom bought me. the cooking is great and when they say non-stick, they really mean non stick! things that i left sitting there overnight just glided right off. if you buy that i also suggest either getting some wooden spoons and silicon spatulas to use with the pan since i'm very careful to take care of it. it will still scrape if you handle it improperly. i'm even scared to use metal tongs on there. i have to try find something more suitable for that. but trust me, i love the Anodized type pans. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=115903&RN=917 here's a link to some small ones.

I think that t-fal is good cookwear.. I use to have t-fal too, but then it got worn out. I also think that if you want good cookwear, you will have to pay a pretty penny for it. I just got new cookwear about 5 yrs ago from pampered chef and it is awesome!!! I love it and it is truely nonstick. Also~ I had a party and got it for 1/2 price.

I got a set of Rachel Ray iodized cookware for Christmas and it is WONDERFUL. I am very careful not to use metal utensils in it and have threatened my childrens lives if they cook in it or attempt to wash it.

I have t-fal too, been using it for 2 years now. Recently I bought sunnex brand, there are two kinds of pan made from sunnex. The cheaper kind has like 2-3 coatings for the non stick. While the more expensive one is like 5 times coating on the non stick. The expensive one is more darker than the cheaper one. I bought the more expensive one. It doesn't scratch easily. Try to look for a thicker coating. It will serve us longer than the standard one. I think its a new stock they are introducing.

Wal-mart has it in a Cookware set.. Also, try K-mart..

Wow...if it's affordable and has lasted for 10 yrs......I think I'd stick with it. I'll have to try it. I havn't found a good brand yet. They are so expensive anymore.
