I've used circulon for a few years, but I like to cook everything really hot, so the surface is done within a couple of years. Everything sticks to it now. I've decided nothing non-stick will last, so I just buy Tefal frying pans from briscoes when they're 50% off, use them until they fail, toss them out and buy a new one. This model claims to have a surface that lasts longer, but I have one called platinum or something. These pans with super non-stick coatings aren't so good for things like steak, there's no browning as such, circulon are better for that.

 

Even circulon aren't that expensive on sale, so just buy 'em, cook 'em hot, and replace when needed.

 

I'd try cast iron or something but I suspect everything would stick to that.

 

Watch out for non-stick pans that use Teflon coatings these tend give off fumes when heated to high temperature. Apparently can kill a budgie and make pets sick, don't know if that's true.
