Top 5 Best Frying Pans (2020)

Welcome to GetMojo, we do the research so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best frying pans on the market in 2020.

Whether you’re an avid, casual or beginner chef, having quality cookware in the kitchen is a huge plus. And to help you decide which frying pan is best suited to you, we’ve sifted through numerous website and consumer reviews to present our 5 recommended products. Okay, first up.

Small pans are great for eggs and whatnot, but if you want a pan big enough for the whole family - one that can cook everything from burgers to steaks, at the same time - then a large 14-inch pan is ideal. This $205 tri-ply bonded stainless steel model is oven and broiler-safe up to 600 degrees, comes with a polished, stick-resistant finish and rock-solid build quality. Review website “The Kitchen Witches” said it is a “well-crafted pan that will last years to come”.

If you’re looking for something a bit more low-cost, then Cuisinart offers this insanely affordable $40 12-inch skillet. This hard-anodized pan has been praised for its cool handle grip during cooking, excellent quantanium nonstick qualities and oven-safety to 500 degrees fahrenheit. And for those that love to steam, it also comes available with a glass lid.

Although we’ve briefly touched upon it, for many people, a pan’s nonstick capabilities are absolutely paramount. This 10-inch pan from Tramonita may not be induction compatible, but Wirecutter praised its comfortable handle, lightweight feel, flared easy-to-scoop edge and, of course, its brilliant nonstick coating. And it’s priced at just $34 on Amazon.

If you want longevity in a frying pan - so much so that you could pass it on to your children as a family heirloom - then a cast iron pan is the way to go. And Lodge is the undisputed leader. Not only does this 12-inch model cost under $50, but it comes pre-seasoned for non-stick effectiveness, and can be used on everything from an induction cooktop to a campfire. It has 35,000 Amazon ratings, of which 80 percent are 5 stars!

Sometimes, one frying pan just isn't enough. But All-Clad has got you covered with this affordable $60 8-inch and 10-inch frying pan set. Both of these pans are nonstick and usable on all cooktops, including induction. And, thanks to their even heat conduction, they’re great for delicate cooking. You may not need two skillets, but if you do, these are a quality choice.

So which frying pan should you choose? Well, we know that a lot of people prioritise nonstick capabilities, so be sure to check out the fine print, because nonstick and stick-resistant pans aren’t the same thing. Some types of nonstick coatings are considered healthier than others as well.
