Where can I buy a teflon-free frying pan?

Just discovered dp has managed to wreck another non-stick frying pan so does anyone know where I can get one without the teflon/non-stick coating? I've had a look while I've been in town but I've never seen one!

Ikea do a cast-iron one. It's very heavy and not cheap but works well. they're orange on the outside.

thanks sputnik! as long as it's heavy duty enough for dp not to break it I don't mind paying for it!

Get a hard-anodised one. They're generally more expensive, but very worth while. They're more non-stick than cast iron, stainless steel, or aluminium, and wash up very easily. Still need to be greased though.

Mermaid are an excellent make (I know they do mostly bakeware, but maybe they do pans as well). John Lewis's own brand Jonelle are good (we've got a couple of their hard anodised frying pans). Or if you want to splash out get a Meier (spelling?) for about three times as much.

thanks prettycandles - would hard anodised ones be safe with my dp?! he has a habit of chopping up sausages in the pan and going through the non-stick bit!

IRRC you can use metal utensils in them, but I don't think they recommend sharp knives. Though whether that's because the knives would damage the pan or the pan damage the knives I don't know! I've not had any damage to mine in about 10y+, apart from chemical damage (don't put them in the dishasher or use oven cleaner on them).
