Circulon C-Series Chef Pan

This pan finally bridges the gap between the durability of stainless steel and the convenience of nonstick. By embedding steel rings into the cooking surface, it lets you use metal utensils without ruining your finish, though you do sacrifice the pure, slick performance of a traditional ceramic coating.
