    For Teflon coated pans, go calphalon. Great stuff, not too expensive. But yes, no metal spatulas and stuff. All clad is better, but more $.

    Cuisinart is great, sur la table is good too. Steer clear of circulon.

    Meijer is better than Wal-Mart.

    Oh yeah, you can always get 20% off calphalon at bed bath and beyond. Coupons are available online.

    Do they work as "non-stick"? OR are they just a gimmick?

    Gotham and Red Copper don't seem to get very good reviews.

    You use them like SS/Cast Iron - some kind of oil or fat to stop adhesion ?
    Using nothing seems to be a common theme in some of the "bad" reviews.

    Even when I had a teflon pan I used some kind of oil or fat in the pan. Habit I guess.

    Yes, "nonstick" and does not appear to be a gimmick. This particular one we were given has S/S on the bottom and a metal handle that one could put in the oven too.
