Besides the meaning of life, there are three things that I am forever in search of: An affordable, authentic spindle bed for my 8-year-old; dining room chairs that I love as much as our kitchen chairs; and an easy-to-clean, nontoxic skillet in which I can fry or scramble my beloved morning eggs. Thanks to the cookware sleuths at Bon Appetit, I’m delighted to say that I can check this last obsession off my list. You are looking at my brand new Bialetti Aeternum 10-inch nonstick saute pan, which is 100% Teflon-free and which only set me back thirty bucks! A very small price to pay for the happiness it brings me every time I clean it with a little water and a single swipe of a dishtowel. Even my egg-hating kids peered over the edge of the pan, noses wrinkled, to steal a peek of the action.
PS: In other egg news, per Andy’s request, I have mastered poaching thanks to SmittenKitchen’s masterful tutorial. What was I so afraid of?

And, I have one of these and I love it. There is a little but, the porcelain is thin and chips rather easily. I wish I’d known before I taped it, by mistake, on the faucet. Still, the best pan I own for eggs and such with brilliant clean up! Enjoy!

I have a spindle bed sitting in a friend’s basement though, my grandma slept in it, so it must make it authentic. I don’t want to make it sound like a publicity or anything, but maybe we could see if we could agree on something and make a second of your obsession come to an end.
Lovely pan! And….. I am a newsletter subscriber. Do I win the Baked Better Bread Prize?

I have never seen white lining in a pan before. I will have to check those out. We have Calphanon pans that need to be replaced. Right now I’m frying our daily eggs in cast iron.
I will file this away for when I need (want) new non-stick pans. Is there any special care required? can they be stacked?

I just got one of these pans, too (mine’s blue, though) after reading Bon Appetit, and I have to agree with you– what a great purchase! Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good non-toxic non-stick pan.

I saw this in Bon Appetit and have been looking for them – where did you find it? In a store or online?

I never realized there was a non-teflon teflon type of pan. Guess I gave up looking long ago and just used cast iron inherited from family…
Excited to hear of any pan that makes egg clean up easy. We’re BIG egg eaters over here. In fact, bacon and eggs are the plan for dinner tonight.
