That's what I use as well. No non-stick stuff for me. I don't want to eat pieces of it when it starts to degrade.


Anodized Aluminum is essentially non-stick, and as it's part of the metal itself, and because it hardens the metal as well, it's not "coming off".

I have two Calphalon Anodized Al frypans, and two Visions Glass pots, and a smallish cast iron frypan, which handles 90% of my cooking duties. But there is also a full set of Stainless multi-ply cookware with steel lids that I use when called for (Cuisinart), and a traditional wok, a cast iron griddle, a Visions double boiler, and so on.

Either will last you a lifetime with proper care.


I have heard some pretty good things about Tramontina sets in general.....

Yep, it does pretty good. Our current set made 17 years...

I have/use a lot of my grandmothers Magnalite set, and some of her old cast iron skillets, flat plates, and dutch ovens. I have a few WM special pans as well.

I was thinking about getting one for pancakes.

What you guys use for pancakes ?

That's what I use for pancakes and grill cheese/etc.

I have this. I use it for tortillas. I use a long griddle for pancakes.

When I need a bigger skillet I use my modern lodge 12” skillet. I don’t like it as much as it’s way heavy but works great too. We have a few t-fal non stick skillets but never use them. If I make something acidic like pasta sauce I use a Kenmore stainless sauté pan I got from my sister. That’s all I’ve needed besides a few pots or sauce pans


Had one All clad piece....was very good stuff....
