Can you recommend a good frying pan?

[shockingsocks]

Hi there
I've been given a Christmas pressie idea for my ex-chef BIL in that he needs a "good quality, heavy bottomed non-stick frying pan". I really don't know where to start on this - can anyone recommend a brand they have found to be very good? Budget is around £45
Many Thanks

This thread is old now, but we’ve recently updated our guide to the best frying pan with loads of Mumsnetter-approved options, including non-stick pans. We hope you find it useful.

I got a good one from Lakeland, it has alid too so i use it for lots of cooking not just frying

I have an Eaziglide Neverstick which is very good. Available in John Lewis

Salter marble range, got mine from Asda but they do amazon etc. Literally amazing, so non stick it's so good!

De Buyer cire d'abeille range - they're about £50ish and available on Amazon.

They need seasoning, but are really good and come in range of sizes.
