Calling all chefs - good make for frying pan?

[PistonReg]

I started getting into cooking a few months ago and my current frying pan is non stick but pretty well knackered.

I'm looking to get one for around £40-£60 and like the idea of a stainless one so I don't have issues with the non stick coating dying a few years down the line.

What are the makes I should go for?

Le Creuset.

If this is too heavy / expensive I find John Lewis's own range to be very good.

[Catz]

Meyer Anolon

I quite like these guys: http://www.beka-cookware.com/cookware/category/ran...

They do (did?) a Marco Pierre White branded range of copper bottomed stuff which impressed me enough to pay for a set, as I remember they were in your sort of price bracket.

Hey Reg
You absolutely positively want to season your pan, and forget every other potential non-stick purchase. Well worth it in the long run! Just do your reading properly before buying and getting started.

Im still hunting around for the perfect pan to season/waiting for my grandmother to die so I can have hers.

In the meanwhile, I bought a good "cheap" non-stick (second one in 2 years) for £20.
