DH uses high heat when cooking, whether the pan can handle it or not. I haven't been able to convince him to do otherwise. So, now I'm looking for a pan that will suit him. Requirements:
Can be used with high heat Has some sort of non-stick (or low-stick) qualities Non-toxic Lightweight |

I'm a kitchenware snob and have a lot of really good expensive pans, but this one is by far my favorite. I haven't had any problems with the nonstick coating, but I only use silicone utensils with it. |
| I thought you were looking for a unicorn shaped cake pan. Ha! |
| Well seasoned cast iron is more non stick then any of the non stick pans I used to use before I learned how bad they were for you |
| Cast iron. |
| I, too, like cast iron. If you get a small pan it will meet all four of your requirements. |
| Carbon steel is lighter weight than cast iron. |
+1 - I assumed it was for a child’s birthday cake. |
| Yes, carbon steel. Season it first if you need it to be nonstick. |
