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?
