The No. 8 skillet is nice size for two eggs.  I have a Teflon coated pau

That's a lot of money for something that will crush
your toe if you drop it the same as a $20 cast iron
skillet would.

Watching the commercial, they showed a fried egg in the pan sliding around like it was Teflon coated.  That caught my attention.
A few years back I'd have bought one to try, I just don't have the need these days,
