I've become a big fan of ceramic skillets, and Boscov's has a special right now on 3 sizes (12", 10" and 8" for $21.99 (half off regular price). So I got them. They'll join a couple of others I got at Amazon last spring. All my Calphalon skillets (still in excellent condition) are being retired to the basement shelf. Biggest advantage is that ceramic is very lightweight - I love it, too, but Calphalon weighs a ton.
