Thanks Greyduster I'm sure it works well as they have great reviews.

I'm looking for something PTFE free really though.

Their existing pans that they want to replace are not PTFE free and as far as I can tell neither are the Scoville, sadly.

Look at Scoville Neverstick pans. I bought one of their sauté pans this year and it’s really very good. Dishwasher safe - easy to clean. They do a range of frying pans, including ones with an oven safe handle.

I had no idea frying pans cost that much. I go to M&S or Sainsbury's if I need one and they are much cheaper.

...and ideally not as heavy as cast iron!!!

I want to buy a large frying pan as a gift. I am still using my massive cast iron one from the 1970s which weighs a ton but I can fry, make omelettes, steam, put it in the oven etc with no problem. I am also used to heavy pans...

The person I'm buying for is just now aware of the non-stick coatings leeching into foods but is used to non-stick.

Some pans are £300 plus 😱

They have a busy family. If it could go in a dishwasher that would be a bonus.
They don't have induction now but will be moving probably next year...

Any suggestions that are at least (nearly) non-stick?
And durable...
And easy-care...
Up to (absolute maximum) £150 for a 28cm-ish size?

Thank you!
