That hasn't been my experience. I find that middle of the road non-stick
pans work best. Brands like Wearever are good. The cheap no-name brands
wear out after just one or two uses and they don't conduct heat evenly.
Spending gobs of money on a non-stick pan doesn't seem to buy anything
more effective than moderate priced pans, so I go with the moderate
priced ones.

The question is how long the non-stick property will last and
can it be restored once it stops working?

Not bad. Sam's carries some "Bakers & Chefs" heavy aluminum pans in
their commercial kitchen supply area that are available both in non
stick coated and anodized version at similar price points in 2 packs. I
picked up a couple of the non stick ones to stock my camper and have
found them to be pretty decent. I've also become a fan of the Rubbermaid
Commercial square lexan food storage containers they carry, not terribly
cheap, but really nice for all the standard staple items.

I feel terrible about throwing things away and buying new, but in the
non-stick case, I'll do it in a heartbeat. There isn't any reason to
spend more than the original cost of a saute pan to get it recoated
when it is middle-of-the-road cost, anyway.

I love my "big store" Wearever - super heavy, totally nonstick both
inside and out. It shows little wear after dozens of crepes and
omelets, and dishwasher attention. It was under $25 for the 8", and
I'll toss it and buy a new one whenever this one gives out.
