As to what non-stick saucepans to use now, well, they are all crap IMHO.
I have some cheap non-stick saucepans bought at Argos over 35 years ago.
Some still have the surface intact, and are non-stick despite some
careless use of metal utensils on rare occasions, although I am usually
careful to use plastic or wooden utensils only. In contrast, the modern
ones barely last a year or two matter how careful I am (I find frying
pans particularly bad in this respect as they are exposed to the highest
cooking temperatures). I don't know if the coating has changed, or the
subcoat (how else would a non-stick coating stick to the pan?!).

And yet, many on TV are shown using metal utensils on non-stick
pans. I guess they are simply scrapped after the series.
