 Frying pans - Crankcase
I have a couple of frying pans that have seen better days. The nonstick isn't doing much of a job.

I'm not much of a cook really, but thought I'd just get on to Amazon and pick up something reasonably inexpensive.

I made the mistake of googling first, and of course have now discovered the horrors of Tefal nonstick flaking off, getting into your food and killing you, aluminium getting into your food and killing you, copper getting into your food and killing you, ceramic coatings peeling off after a few months and the underlying metal getting into your food and killing you...

You get the point. The existing pans are cheapy Tefal things, and indeed I notice the coating has flaked, so I expect I've already eaten enough to kill me in short order anyway.

I have no idea what to buy. Anodized this, copper core that, ceramic coating, stainless steel, "granite" coating...etc etc.

What should I be buying, given a budget of not more than about fifty quid absolute tops (each, if I must)? Not an induction hob, just electric.

Are they all really fine, get anything, just change them every couple of years and be done with it?

Even a pointer to a good name/range would be helpful.
