We like stainless steel non-stick saucepans.

In the past I have had non-stick saucepans that lasted for years. Last
2 sets have started giving up after about 30 months each.

Anyone know of any that do last?

Experience of lifetime guarantees is that they are worthless.
Manufacturers claim anything similar is a vast upgrade and ask for more
for the upgrade than you can buy them for elsewhere.


The trick is to get very heavy pans - stainless or cast iron and not to
use a fierce heat. Heavy pans will initially take longer to heat but it
will be an even heating with no hot spots. It probably the hot spots on
cheaper pans that cause the food to stick and/or any coating to fail.
