Re: My $0.02.
Thanks.
I don't think we're interested in anodized or nonstick coatings again. They go away too quickly. And while I like the lightness of the aluminum, the warped pan irritated me to no end.
The frypan you linked is exactly the one we have, except we have a glass lid. It was a great pan until the coating started to come off. Calphalon is too expensive to replace that often, too. The coup de grace came when my wife heated up egg-dipping wax in it (in containers, but apparently they leaked)... I took one look at the poor pan, with wax caught in the distressed non-stick bottom, and said, "New pan time. I'm not cleaning this shit."
Nonstick might be OK for a dedicated tomato sauce pan if I could get her to ease up on the stirring.
