How much should i be paying for a small frying pan that will last?

[ihatethecold]

Mine dont seem to last more than a year.
i usually buy from TKMaxx or on sale somewhere like Debenhams.
I have never spent more than about £25.
How much should i spend?
where should i get one from and what makes do you recommend?
Thanks

Well, I got 3 for £1 at a car boot a month or two back...someone clearing a relative's house and just wanted rid of stuff

More likely though, get yourself to Aldi when they have their saucepan offers on - depending on size you'll only need to pay about a fiver. what on earth are you doing to them that they don't last a year?
Any of the cheaper end household shops will sort you out - Wilkinsons, Home Bargains, BMs, in our high street we have a couple of small, independent 'cheapy' shops.

I bought 2 Tefal ceramic ones from B&M for around £8. Makes a divine omlette.

Christ knows what happens to them.
They go in the dishwasher. I suspect my son uses any old utensil to cook his nightly 9pm egg fried rice!
They are used a lot.
Anyway. I went to tesco and got a tefal one for £15 so I'm happy.
