Wife bought one when we got married, used it for a couple of years then it started going bad. It was not a cheap one either. I went to moms house and got her old Griswold cast iron skillet, cleaned it re-seasoned, it best thing for cooking we've got. I have since got several more different sizes. I would not waste the money on a coated skillet again

if i get a cast iron skillet it will outlast me! I think cast iron is beautiful. It looks so much like Mom's house. (or grandmas) they come in all colors now, but I suppose they all turn black. I would hope so anyway.

colleen~you're right. My nephew was at our house and we made fried eggs. the teflon wasn't in good shape and HE told me. ooooph! He ate the eggs and I suppose survived.
after hearing what you and JDB have to say, I guess I'll pass the teflon by. actually I always use the cast iron skillet. It's my husband who uses the teflon.

Hi itsmee, A properly seasoned cast iron skillet will be just as good as Teflon, you do have to use a little oil or butter though I use olive oil for almost everything. I know moms skillet is probably close to 70 years old and its used almost daily,
