These are all great suggestions and when I look for one for myself, I think a light cast iron or carbon steel one will be the way to go. But I know my friend just loves her nonstick cookware (I know, I know), so I guess I should probably ask her what she prefers.
Just tell her you got her a carbon steel one because it's not safe to use non-stick cookware with high heat - which is the truth.
