I recently bought a set of fry-pans, moderately expensive, not the

The mediums sized pan has a cover, a glass cover, but the little one I
use more has nothin'. * And there are few if any 8" pans for sale with
covers.

Calphalon sells frying pans with glass covers (and separate covers).. *Here's
one:

I think it is is glass. *OTOH, the price of the pan and lid is 120 to
170 dollars, so even the lid is probably too much for me.

The 8" pan is $120.

That makes sense.

*I thought you said you bought decent stuff?

It's still at the top. *I said I bought moderately expensive pans this
time, instead of the cheap stuff I usually get.

If it's $100/pan, it's *NOT* "at the top". *Most of our pans are in the
$300-$500 range and they're "not at the top".

$120 isn't a
lot for cookware.

I think it is. * If it werent' for the teflon, I'd continue to use
cheap pans, but I suspect the teflon on the cheap pans is more
vulnerble than it needs to be. *We'll see if these pans do better.

Vulnerable? *Forget Teflon. *Stainless is the way to go. *We went though

SWMBO has 3-4x that in a few of her pans.

I cleaned the pan and put it in the car, and I'm on the path to
stopping at every thrift shop in town. *I don't think I'll find it
quickly, but otoh, I really don't want to order one and find out it

Measure. *Go to store and measure theirs.

Thanks for all the help.

I'll try to post back when I get something.- Hide quoted text -

A properly seasoned cast iron frying pan can be as non-stick as anyone
would need and heats/cooks better than most other types of materials.

I have a set of cast iron frying pans that I use constantly.
