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.

Ive never had a non stick cooking utensil that lasted more than a year
with its non stick intact.

These days we run pure stainless and use stainless scrubbing pads to
clean them.

You burn things in them?

I have to agree with most of that, but I do use MMM's metal abrasive to
clean them. It is available in the sheds as a metal abrasive and is
usually coloured green and known as Scotchbright.

even when frying: there non stick is more a question of pre heeating the
pan and using the right oil..

Wife successfully uses our SS frying pan for her plaice, and that has
never stuck to the fish.
