A lodge cast iron pan will last forever and isn't that expensive. And maintenance isn't terribly hard. Just rub down with oil after using (I use plain canola) and keep it dry. Serious eats has a lot of information on this. Modern soaps make the whole thing much easier.

For some people Teflon isn't an option. Bird owners for example can't use pans with PTFE coatings, cooking with them releases a compound that is toxic to parrots.

Pretty desperate move there, warning bird owners!

OK, for the bird owners: buy a stainless steel skillet and use it until your bird dies. Then buy a teflon skillet.
