Non stick frying pan alternatives to teflon

My Teflon coated frying pan has started to peel. It’s about 10 years old, so good going. Im now looking at alternatives but the more I look the more confused I get 😳
I initially looked at cast iron, but then I saw ceramic. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Google Hexclad. They are expensive but excellent quality

I have a cast iron pan - good for anything that has to go in the oven and after a few years use it's pretty much non stick even for eggs.

My favourite pan is carbon steel - lighter than cast iron but I use it all the time now. I don't cook meat, but it's great for browning some onions, frying eggs, home made flat breads etc. It's this one - I got it on a deal for about £40. I imagine it'll last a lifetime.

No non-toxic coatings and super easy to clean, but they need a little while to build up seasoning unless you oil and bake them a few times to do it.

I've got Hexclad- eye wateringly expensive outlay for a pan but I LOVE it, so versatile and really good results.
I also have a Scoville (I think I picked it up in Sains/Asda) that would probably fit the bill? I haven't actually cooked a fried egg in it yet but I'd be fairly confident it wouldn't stick, nothing else has.

Cast iron- treat it well and it’s non stick for everything.

I've just bought this on advice from a friend. It better be bloody good and last my lifetime

Brilliant! Thank you for your replies. I was leaning towards cast iron, but I will look at all of the suggestions. I know how to rock a bank holiday evening 😂
