Costco has a two piece OXO nonstick pan set that is cheap and works well.
https://www.costco.ca/oxo-skillet-se...100703780.html
I think it's on sale this week in-store for $40.
It's not induction compatible though, it's all aluminum.
Regular non-induction low quality nonstick frying pans should be under $20 for any size or you paid too much. See my post history for discussions of this, but the regular sales at the triangle store for the t-fal thermospot type should be the baseline. Coating performance is excellent.

The OXO pans are a fair bit better than the T-Fal pans. Sadly CT no longer sells the T-Fal Professional pans, which were great.
Actually, everything T-Fal is complete raging shit that fails catastrophically the first time it's abused in any way whatsoever.
But... Since it costs less than a 6-pack, it's simple to throw out and replace which you can probably do about 11 times before you've reached Paderno or Circulon money (or whatever the other fancy names are).
There's a thread about a reputable member who had "good non-stick pans" and switched to cheap shit and was happy.

What I can't get over is why people think it's so desirable that the fancy ones hold heat so well. That actually results in less sensitive temp control because when you turn the burner down, nothing fucking happens for another 4 min and all your shit burns.
But that's a sign of "quality". Like Boris The Blade describing how the heavier handgun is more desirable.
My $9 small T-fal thermospot pans last 1-2 years with daily use and occasional metal utensils. That's sufficient durability for me.
I do have a big All-Clad sauté pan that I enjoy as well. Each has thier place. Ideally I'd have two complete sets, but my duplex kitchen doesn't have enough storage for that.

I got a 10" AC non-stick from The Bay on a pricing error ("only" $50). Worked unbelievably great. Wore out after about 4 years. Wouldn't bother buying again.
Sadly they cancelled the 12" SS AC skillet order.
Bump....if anyone is looking for a solid set for a good deal. Canadian tire if you couldnt tell.
If anyone was looking for Saub stuff on sale Bed Bath and Beyond on Easthills is dumping their stuff
Thanks Flip. I would love a Daily Pan on the cheap.

Last weekend their frying pan was 120something; might be lower now since BBB is about to go GTFOThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Got one on sale at CT yesterday, nice deep 12" one with a lid, last one. When I tried it I discovered why it was the last one, it must have been dropped causing a flat spot on one side so the lid doesn't fit, now I'll have to return it. Unfortunate as it seemed decent, incredible for the sale price of $40.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Before you return it, try contacting Heritage The Rock first and see if replacement can be sent.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Good call, I'll start there, thanks!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Update - the manufacturer originally told me to just go to the store to exchange it but I replied saying this was the last one to see if they could still help me out. Then I got instructions for what I consider to be a very unusual exchange process. They have you carve a code into the bottom of the pan destroying the non-stick coating, photograph the hell out of it, send them the pics, and then you dispose of it in a responsible manner while they ship you a new one. They only replace the faulty part. I get it, but damn that's a wild approach, at least it is to me.
Fortunately I was able to flawlessly straighten out the dent with a rubber mallet, works great, good times were had.
