A high quality, well seasoned cast iron pan will allow you to fry an egg while said egg slides around the pan as if nonstick.
Not every pan is capable of this, and meticulous care is required to keep it in shape, but I became a believer in non stick cast iron when I first met a pan that could do it. I had used plenty of "stickier" cast iron pans before and my perspective shifted a bit.
