Non-Stick

Traditional non-stick pans are popular for their ease of use. They generally require less cooking oil and are quick to clean. They work best on medium to low heat. Using cooking sprays with these pans is not recommended as they can damage the non-stick coating.

Non-stick

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel frying pans cook evenly at high temperatures and provide a durable cooking surface. These pans are considered non-reactive to acidic or alkaline foods, so their nutritional value and flavour are preserved during cooking. Some stainless steel pieces are not dishwasher or oven safe, so always check the manufacturer’s label before use.

Cast Iron

Cast iron pans are durable, with high heat retention and made without chemicals. If you choose one with a seasoned interior, it also has non-stick properties. These pans are great for searing meat and vegetables. You can safely use cast iron pans to cook on high heat, but keep in mind that they are on the heavy side. Use extra care when handling these heavy pans when hot.

Silicone

Silicone handles can be used to cook with heat of up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. These handles are quite hot when coming out of an oven. Use caution and protect your hands.

Plastic

Pans with plastic handles should never be used in ovens at temperatures above 300 degrees Fahrenheit or under a broiler.

Price

The price of fry pans varies quite a bit. Keep in mind that premium models have a higher gauge and thickness, which gives you better heat distribution and retention. It also makes the pan more resistant to denting and warping, so it will last longer. Keep an eye out for sales on higher-end models if you’re looking to make an investment.

Induction

If you have an induction cooktop, your frying pan must have a magnetic steel base. You can find non-stick aluminum and stainless steel and other popular styles with the induction compatible magnetic base. Love cast iron pans? Most of these will work with an induction cooktop. Before you purchase, always check the fry pan’s label or packaging to be sure that it is suitable for induction use.
