SUPER SIZZLERS: BEST NONSTICK FRYING PANS

SIZZLING SKILLET SIDE DISHES

- Sahar Farmer

When it comes to an everyday cooking workhorse, it’s hard to pick a better MVP than the frying pan—it’s the go-to tool for almost everything, including fluffy scrambled eggs, sizzling skillet side dishes and juicy steak dinners.

Because frying pans are so frequently used and do a lot of hard work in the kitchen, it’s important to find an option that you really enjoy using. For many of us, this means a pan that is sturdy, easy to clean and even oven-safe. We know you don’t have time to test out pan after pan to find your favorite—but our Test Kitchen does! Our team of pro cooks tested the most popular 10-inch nonstick frying pans on the market to find amazing options for home cooks.

There’s plenty to consider when looking for a nonstick frying pan. You want to know if the nonstick surface is really nonstick (no extra scrubbing required!), if the surface heats evenly, if the handle gets too hot, and much more. For this test, our kitchen pros put each pan through its paces, cooking recipe after recipe, all the while keeping some important criteria in mind.
