Hi Shel, I'd recommend the Calphalon hard anodized over any pan with a non- stick coating. You don't need the coating if you break it in right, and your pan will last forever. I have some Calphalon pans that are twenty years old. I can make an omelette in my 8 inch skillet and turn it to do the flip side. It has a beautiful glazed surface, better than anything in teflon. If you're going to do some serious frying (like southern fried chicken, for example) you might also consider a cast iron skillet in 14 to 16 inch size. I too would rather cook than watch television.
