Can someone recommend a good nonstick skillet?

I try to hit the Amvets thrift store once a month. I look for the old fashioned cast iron pans, I've never been able to get a modern one to work as well. Just check to be sure it is flat, anything else you can boil off recondition or reoil.
 
Cast iron, only way.
Lodge has worked for me.

Modern Lodge and similar are JUNK compared to the real good stuff.

If you can find a nice old cast iron pan made in the 1940s or before, and it has a glassy smooth finish to the bottom cooking surface, then you will be very happy.

Otherwise get something like these:

They are worth the money. Day 1 they are better than 5 years of trying to get a cheap modern Lodge one to work.

Good cast iron pans should have a mirror smooth finish on the bottom, if it has a slightly rough or pebbled finish, then it's cheap junk & don't waste your time.

True, finding them is the trick.
Mine aren't "classic" been working well though.
Interesting bit of history: George Washington's mother mentioned who should get her's in her will.
