I'm a guy, a guy that enjoys cooking at home. We eat dinner in 5 or 6 times per week.

My gal Phyllis does not really cook - so that enjoyable task is up to me. Many of our dishes involve a 12" pan. I have always used the standard non-stick variety - the dark Teflon stuff. I seem to go through one every year or so - scratches and wear.

Was time to get another and we happened to be in Bealls Outlet. I have bought pans there before. Looking thru their stock I saw some that were 'Ceramic coated'. And free of chemicals etc. Looked good to me and picked one up, with a glass cover. $14.99. This one was from Gibson Home, their ECO Friendly Home line.

Have used it 4 times so far, and voila' - IT'S GREAT! Truly not stick (like cooking on glass), and so easy to clean (her job).

I think we found a winner! One that will hopefully last... FYI for you home cooks.
