As for "off the shelf" fry pans, you might also look for brands that have a removable handle.  For example, T-Fal is a fairly descent brand and many of their skillets have handles attached with a phillips head screw.  When the handle is removed, you are left with a small aluminum "nub."  I picked up one of these to try out and it works well.  I even like the "temperature gauge" in the bottom for frying.

The T-Fal and others do generally have a bit of a tilted rim.  I prefer mine more vertical, so minimize the possibility of cooking oil sloshing out.  But then everyone has their own preferences.

I did pick up a couple of square-coated GSI fry pans last year (from Sierra Trading Post).  They have "pinch" handles in one corner that are easily removed in the field.  I have in mind to one along the next time my reflector oven makes the trip.
