A couple of weeks ago, I read some reviews (incl the one that @lindag mentioned above) and replaced my 20+ year old pan with this 12-inch Tramontina non-stick fry pan.
So far, so good. I don't have any illusions that it will last any longer than the 3-6 yrs that review estimates and for ~ 30 bucks, I thought it was reasonable.
I have this same pan but mine is 10 inch. I like it. It gets used very rarely. I mostly use cast iron and Darto. I prefer Darto over cast iron when cooking fish since I prefer not to wash my cast iron skillets. Darto takes washing with hot water and dishwashing liquid like a champ. Quick heating with a bit of bacon grease after wash and it is as good as new again. Non stick pan is used to cook a thinner fish fillet and that's about it.
