Our favorite pan for many cooking tasks right now is one that John has owned for about 25 years. It is stainless with a copper core and it is our go to pan for vegetables that we want browned such as sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts, scallops, pancakes... For some reason it was on an inconvenient shelf for a few years but we were happy to recently rediscover it! This morning I am taking it to cook sweet potato pancakes on for a Sugar Class (which is about little to no sugar).
