Get a commercial non-stick pan.
Either dunlevy or Genesis or Bargreen would have them on stock.
They are about $25-30 each. I'll never go back to using a normal retail non-stick pan ever again.

How do your nonstick pans last this long? Mine lasts for a year tops, then the non-stick coating goes away.

I always clean it right away and Ive had mine for a couple years. It's all about taking care of your pots of pans if you let them sink dirty in the sink or use metal spatulas of course it won't last long

It's all about taking care of your pots of pans if you let them sink dirty in the sink or use metal spatulas of course it won't last long | I only use wooden or silicone utensils, and I hand wash every time. Yet the non-stick coating never lasts.

My wife is scared to use a non-non-stick pan. Although we hardly fry any more, our non-stick is dead so it has become a "stick" pan 
How about those ceramic pans I see everywhere? Just a stupid gimmick?

What do you mean too scared? Also without searing, what kind of things are you cooking?
My friend has a ceramic coated pan, thus far, it seems a bit more durable. It has non-stick properties, but doesn't seem quite as good as the black teflon ones.
Am I the only one here that uses a commercial-grade non-stick?  | |

We grill almost everything now... Cooking dinner is so easy, healthy, and tasty now, just buy a pound of any meat, buy a bunch of veggies, throw it on the grill, done! Big, satiating, healthy dinners with no sugar or starch.
But sometimes we like to fry stuff, but the teflon coating is gone from our pan. She's scared of getting a non non stick pan, like a normal stainless pan, because she's worried that everything will stick to it.

dont buy a non stick coated one. best bet is it to buy one infused with the non stick. its a thicker heavier pan, but it will last a long time. if you big into a cookware sets. grab the jamie oliver non stick set by t-fal Posted via RS Mobile | |

Pretty much, if you're putting stuff in a cold pan, it will stick. Turn up the heat, wait a bit, then you'll be golden.
I keep thinking that you would be doing chinese stirfry style, so my advice is kind of geared towards doing the meat. If things do stick, just deglaze with a bit of cooking wine. It's dirt cheap here in vancouver (3 bucks a bottle), should be even cheaper in HK. Flavor-wise, I can't even cook stirfy without it.
