My mom has assigned me to look for a top quality frying pan as the chinese ones she bought are are damaged by the heat. She said an important quality shes looking for is the NON-STICKY part becauses shes had a hard time cleaning the previous pans.
Any suggestions? is calphalon a good brand? whats the difference btw cast iron and stainless steel and stainless steel coated with copper and gold and the tonnes of other metallic elements out there?

Teflon pans are cheap garbage, get a decent solid steel pan with a thick base - those are the best. You won't find anything else in a professional kitchen. And they don't stick either - if you know how to cook.
I'm in Europe, and we have brands like WMF or Fissler... don't know if they're available over at your place. Good pans cost about 100 Euros... but they're worth it, since they last forever compared to the Teflon junk that lasts a few months before the coating dissolves.
I have these pans, made from German Cromargan 18/10 stainless steel: WMF

As with amplifiers and toasters, go vintage. Track down a cast iron Griswold skillet, find out how to condition it, do that, and you'll have a non-stick skillet that will last you a lifetime. They come in several sizes. Don't get WagnerWare, they don't measure up. The teflon on most modern skillets is toxic, BTW, but most people don't know it yet.

condition iron with peanut oil, rub on with rag & bake at high heat. Do this numerous times till it looks all black, Lazarus is right, will last a life time ... and as dfkt said, if you know how to cook, nothing will stick ... btw, we also have the ss all-clad pans as well, these are great.
Laz is right. Go with cast iron and learn to season and care for it. You do not want a non-stick pan. The coatings are bad for you. As for baked on food, I've never encountered anything that did not come off with an overnight soak in soap and water.

I regard any review by the magazine called Cook's Illustrated as the gospel. Seek out a review on non-stick pans by this publisher at your local public library. Also, look at reviews by Consumer reports.
Depending on how the pan will be used, I cannot fault a Calphalon non-stick pan as I use two of them with good results. If you want to spend more money, professional chefs use stainless steel pans. Search the Interent for reviews of higher end (i.e.very, very expensive) pans.
