A nonstick pan is the best tool for cooking fluffy omelets, golden pancakes, and delicate fish fillets—without the risk of food sticking to the bottom. After cooking many dozens of eggs in more than 25 pans since 2016, we still think the Tramontina Professional 10-Inch Restaurant Fry Pan offers the best value for the money. With good heat distribution and excellent maneuverability, it often outperforms pans that are more than triple the price.

To find the best frying pans on the market, we asked chefs, food writers, and cookware professionals for their thoughts, and then put the standout items to the test in The Telegraph kitchen.

There are no distinguishable differences between skillets and frying pans. The only difference is the name of the cooking device. Pan is a general term given to a variety of cooking vessels. With that, a frying pan is a shallow cooking vessel used to fry up foods.

t should be said up top: Skillets is a broad category. There are, after all, several types — cast iron, enameled cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, and nonstick, most of which I use on a weekly (if not daily) basis to cook well and efficiently.

Online forums for the cooking-obsessed are a mixed blessing. On the one hand, they can be amazing resources, full of detailed information on all sorts of topics. But they can also expose just how little agreement there often is among experts when you get down to the nitty-gritty details. I've spent hours poring over cast iron cookware sites, only to see some swear that flaxseed oil is the best for seasoning, others throw down for Crisco or lard, and still others say that canola is their go-to. The oven temperatures they use are equally varied, and some advocate convoluted methods that involve repeatedly changing the oven temperature during the seasoning process.The thing is, we here at Serious Eats use our cast iron cookware all the time, and, after testing countless methods, we've found that most of the complex rules of cast iron are nothing more than superstition. Indeed, we don't do anything complicated to keep our pans in tip-top nonstick shape. Here's the short version of what you need to know: When you get a new cast iron pan, put it through one basic round of seasoning (I'll explain how below), then just...use your pan. Yeah, it really is that simple.

In this age of non-stick, it’s easy to forget about our old friend, the cast iron pan. For perfectly grilled steaks and veggies or for adding char to your wraps, these pans are worth investing in. Read on for tips on seasoning the pan, which oils work best and what to use it for, and how to look after it or spruce up an old one so that it’ll last another 50 years. With this insight and know-how you too will learn to appreciate the beauty of cooking in a cast iron pan.

I love my cast-iron pan: super affordable, sturdy and invincible, and amazingly versatile. It can handle everything from perfectly seared steaks and stir-fried rice to fluffy pancakes and delicate crepes. Don't be intimidated by the naysayers who claim cast-iron pans are difficult to clean and maintain: just a little TLC goes a long way for these kitchen workhorses.

In our recent testing of cast-iron skillets, we found two winners: The Smithey Ironware No. 12 Cast Iron Skillet, with a smooth, polished interior and a classic shape, aced all our tests, searing, baking, and browning beautifully and releasing food like a nonstick pan would. But it’s about $200, so we also chose a Best Buy: The Lodge 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet, which, at about $44, offers equivalent performance at a bargain price.

The steps for cleaning and seasoning cast iron pans are super easy. Plus, the seasoning on your cast iron is way tougher than you think — it’s the reason these pans have been passed on from generation to generation. A cast iron pan can withstand soap (and even metal utensils) if you handle them right. I know some folks will not believe me, but it literally says so on the Lodge website: “Contrary to popular belief, you can use a small amount of soap to clean cast iron cookware.” 

Cast iron cookware has been a staple in kitchens for centuries and continues to be a popular choice for both home chefs and professional chefs alike. With its durability and ability to retain heat, this cookware is perfect for searing steaks, grilling a sandwich as well as baking bread. In short, the black-coloured tough-looking cookware that can handle high heat, and years and years of use - cast iron cookware will surely last a lifetime.
