My originally non-stick frypan is sticking again. Can anyone recommend a
frypan that will stay non-stick for more than a year? I follow the
directions on washing with cloth by hand and using only plastic/wood
utensils. Still the frypan starts sticking fairly soon. Thanks for any
suggestions.

Buy the least expensive stupidmarket nonstick pan you can find and use the shit
out of it for about a year... then buy another for about ten bucks or less.
There is no nonstick cookware, no matter how much you pay, that if used
regularly will last more than a year or so... why anyone needs nonstick
cookware I have no idea, unless they can't cook.

Cast iron. Be sure to season it properly, and keep it seasoned.

I have two suggestions, but they are not cheap - you will have to lay out
some loot for these, but in my experience they last many years and still
give good service. My favorite is Look, a brand made in Iceland and
available at A Cooks Wares. A close second is Bernes, a German line that is
more widely available.

I went thru this very same thing when I left home...

I grew up with cast iron and after going thru a couple hundred bucks
worth of non-stick surface pans, I went back to cast iron. ;-)

I now own a lovely set of antique griswolds I bought off of ebay and
as long as I use them properly and take good care of them, they remain
pretty much non-stick.

I learned from the "Frugal Gourmet" "Hot pan, cold oil, food won't
stick". I pre-heat my pan now before adding my cold olive oil. :-)

Hope this helps?

$15-$20 bucks for a good non-stick... available at your local restaurant
supply store...

I finally found my one little cast iron skillet after it was missing in the
kitchen for a couple of years. It had a little patch of rust on the inside,
but I dry-roasted some spices in it. After I rinsed it out, the rust was gone.
It made some perfect cornbread yesterday and the bacon grease surely won't
hurt its seasoning. I think it was given to my parents as a wedding gift about
60 years ago. And, the cornbread didn't taste like curry. I looked for a name
on it, but it's unmarked.

I believe that's Berndes. I sometimes see them at TJMaxx and Marshall's.
Another (albeit expensive) solution is Le Creuset. My LC pan has a
non-stick coating and is going on four years now without a scratch.

I have a couple of Meyer commercial weight frypans that I've been
using for over five years. I remember buying one of them on sale
at Sears.

For non-stick qualities I much prefer carbon steel fry pans, much lighter, far
more manageable, especially with eggs. But mostly I use plain stainless, I
have no problem with food sticking.

....so theoretically I could fry an egg in my Wok without it sticking?...
interesting...

With just a drop or 2 of oil, yes. That's how I fry them for egg sandwiches.
It keeps them just sandwich size. Don't use wok temperatures, though. (-:
