You're buying the cheap stuff. I've got an Excalibur(tm) coated fry pan
that's over ten years old and it has never chipped. I've burned it,
scrubbed it, and just generally abused the Hell out of it and it's
still hanging in there. It occasionally losses its non-stick
properties whenever I burn something really bad onto it, but scrubbing
the Hell out it with a ScotchBrite pad to take the burnt stuff off
restores it. The teflon coating is really bullet-proof on this brand
coating. Here's why:

I don't know who is using Excalibur teflon on their pans these days,
but I'm sure someone is. Mine is an older Farberware Millennium line
which they don't make anymore. Do a google search for excalibur pans.
