Aluminum pans wow , I started with Cast Iron ! , I never did like the teflon pans or any of the non stick, I have an old cast iron Omlet pan that will flip eggs with out any problem, I dont think it has been washed with soap & water for 20 years or so, I use it , wipe it out oil it & put it away, its good for 20 to 40 eggs any morning I am filling in at the local Country club for the early golfers, Glad I dont need to do this every day any more !!! now I do 2 eggs , one for me & one for my wife , dammmm thats a tuff morning hahahaha ! Enjoy, Vince
