another one for $19.99 on TV?
No. A local cooking/culinary store carries them, and I’m looking for some decent, safe and lightweight nonstick pans. Amazon also has them, but I don’t Amazon. Looking at the XD series.
we use farberware with good results
I use the OXO ones. Like them.

OXO Pro for me also. 8" is perfect for three fried eggs, 10" for omelettes. Comfortable handles, also. They are not "lightweight," but compared to my carbon steel pans, they are definitely lighter! Well-made, and I'm happy to have several.
Anyone can recommend a good WOK?
Didn’t see this thread previously. I bought a Swiss Diamond sauté pan in 2010. It was pretty expensive back then, just under $200 IIRC. A couple of my friends who do a lot of cooking told me I was foolish, and that I would be better served buying a $25 nonstick pan, use it for a year or two, then throw it away and buy a new one. I didn’t listen to them.
The nonstick surface still works perfectly. I usually use a bit of olive oil for omelettes or fried eggs, sometimes an animal fat for sautéing meats. There are some minor scratches, because I use metal as well as plastic and wooden utensils, but they don’t affect the performance at all. It never goes in the dishwasher, and I just wipe it out after use with a paper towel. occasionally when I have some small bits remaining after I finish cooking, I rinse with a bit of hot water and then use a paper towel to dry it right away. Its performance has been flawless over almost 13 years, and still continues.
Best nonstick pan I’ve ever had, by a long shot. I wish all my cookware was as good as this. Easily met my expectations.

Huh? You’re able to cook in a hotel room at a high enough heat to set off fire alarms?
Do you travel with a portable cupola furnace in your luggage? 🙂

You can’t afford a hotel with a restaurant?

yea i'm an allclad user, that or just straight stainless / cast iron seasoned.
I love my Wok, best cookware i ever had. All the popular brands have some woks available of course, but i would go for the spacial brands, which only sell woks. That's a good example of one of them https://yosukata.com/carbon-steel-woks/. Quality of those products can't be any better.
After posting this and not getting any helpful timely replies, I ended up getting a Le Creuset nonstick pans and have been happy with them.
