All-Clad

4.7

(56)

"All Clad HA1 hard anodized nonstick."

"All clad the gold standard."

"All- clad. I just bought my first one and love it!!"

"All clad rocks. I personally use copper core but that's pretty expensive and is meant for professionals. For a home cook the all clad d3 stainless steel 12 inch frying pan with lid is pretty great."

"Get the all clad. God gave us two kidneys so we could all have nice cookware."

"I used to think All-Clads were hype, but if you preheat well they are truly amazing."

"All-Clad if you have cash to burn."

"Money no object: all clad, just make sure it's fully cladded"

"All-Clad, hands down."

"With no budget look into All Clad"

Lodge

4.9

(21)

"I bought a lodge cast iron at Villa Market."

"Get a cast-iron from Lodge (Amazon)"

"Cast Iron for everything else. You can Fry an egg on stainless without it sticking, but cast iron will have no dramas every time."

"For actual good deals on good pans set up price alerts for lodge cast iron and all clad triply on Amazon"

"I have been using cast iron on my induction for a while and the glass holds up fine to it."

"Just buy lodge. No reason to consider anything else TBH"

"This is why everybody just recommends getting a Lodge."

"Lodge cast iron. It will last you forever and it becomes nonstick once you break it in."

"Lodge for cast iron. All-Clad or Demeyere for stainless steel."

"Fry pan wise cast iron is my go to. They are the best bang for the buck..."

Tramontina

4.5

(22)

"Tramontina is a hidden gem. High quality at a reasonable price."

"I have the Tramontina TriPly frying pan and it has held up great."

"I have those! They're great."

"Mine is going on 5 years and it’s still going strong. I have a carbon steel skillet and a copper based SS sauté pan as well for other foods. I used the Tramontina for 90% of my cooking."

"Tramontina pro non stick- there are different grades of tramontina- you want pro line- the kind with a long handle and red silicone gripper- not the cheap light weight sets from Walmart."

"Best and longest lasting pan I’ve used so far and I use the shit out of it."

"I love my current one. Bought on Amazon. Tramontina professional fry pan. Pick size you like. My 8” pan cost $31."

"Just bought this recently, it's incredible."

"I like my Tramontina tri-ply. Got the whole set for $200 at Costco"

"Tramontina. Best pans ever for the money!"

Carbon Steel

4.4

(12)

"I LOVE my carbon steel; not as heavy as cast iron."

"I love carbon steel, to me it's almost all the benefits of cast iron."

"The way to go is carbon steel pan! (unless you cook with vegetable oils)"

"Carbon steel is the way to go imo, lighter than cast iron."

"Carbon steel pan. It can do everything."

"Second carbon steel. Cast iron is superior but my wife finds cast iron difficulty to lift. Carbon steel accomplishes the same thing but lighter."

"It's been my favorite pan my whole adult life."

"Carbon Steel is awesome but it's reactive to acidic ingredients."

"Carbon steel, $25-$40 at sur la table."

"Carbon steel will be very similar to cast iron but much lighter."

HexClad

4.7

(10)

"Great recommendations! HexClad and Demeyere excel in quality"

"HexClad and Demeyere are top-tier for durability and performance."

"I highly recommend the HexClad, we have one and honestly we don’t need another."

"I’m eyeing the HexClad pans on the Costco website, or on the HexClad website."

"Hexclad hands down, I believe they sell them online. I’ve seen them in the warehouse a few times as sets."

"We went with fully stainless steel pans that are naturally non stick without the Teflon coating, can use steel spoons and easy to clean too. The brand we got is Hexclad."

"Hexclad"

"That’s a lot cheaper than buying HexClad from their website! Glad it works well!"

"I love Hexclad and also TFAL! I would never own cast iron or stainless, too much work and fuss."

"Hex clad."

Cast Iron

4.5

(10)

"Cast iron is wonderful."

"Cast iron. Hit a flea market, reseason, enjoy for life."

"Cast iron, once it's seasoned properly, it's awesome."

"Cast iron is my favorite and it’s much easier to clean than the cast iron community makes it seem."

"If weight is no concern nothing cooks like cast iron."

"Cast iron pans are the best. They complete your daily iron intake and have no chemical coating."

"I switched to almost all cast iron. If seasoned correctly food doesn’t stick."

"I like the cast iron pans but they require the most maintenance of pans."

"I've got a cast iron pan which is 80% as non stick as teflon."

Demeyere

5.0

(8)

"Demeyere excel in quality"

"Demeyere are top-tier for durability and performance."

"DeMeyere is better than All-Clad; the 5-ply is excellent and the 7-ply (which I haven't tried) is supposed to be even better."

"My favorite is Demeyere, but will cost you that kidney. All-Clad performs well."

"Demeyere Industry 5 32cm or 12.6 inch is the only fry pan you’ll ever need."

"My preference is Demeyere Alu Pro. Don’t listen to the guys suggesting to buy cheap when it cones to non stick pans."

"Demeyere Proline."

"I think it's worth it. I'll have them for the rest of my life."

T-Fal

3.9

(9)

"I’ve also been a big fan of the tfal pans, I’ve never had one stop being non stick quickly, I’ve gotten at least 10 years out of almost every tfal pan I’ve had."

"I love Hexclad and also TFAL! I would never own cast iron or stainless, too much work and fuss."

"Assuming you want nonstick I like T-Fal."

"I also have a TFal small size specific for eggs."

"If you are good at taking care of you pans, T-fal is great and not that expensive."

"For something cheap and light but durable, t-fal has some good options."

"I've had good success with the T-Fal brand here in America."

"Yah CT sells the the poison pans. TFAL"

"Costco had a 3 pack of TFal pans the other day. Decent budget option"

Ninja

4.6

(7)

"We only use ninja exclusively now for nonstick, they are pricey but waaaay worth the money and they legit respect the 10y guarantee."

"Most people rave about the ninja nonstick when it goes on sale at Canadian tire. Over 2 yrs and still keeps it surface."

"I bought a set several years ago and they’ve held up fantastically!!"

"Current: Ninja from Canadian Tire when they are on sale."

"I went with this set: Ninja Extended Life 5-Piece Ceramic Cookware Set (20 & 24cm Frying Pans + 16, 18 & 20cm Saucepans & Lids), Non-Stick"

"I think I’ve decided to go with the ninja ones!"

"The Ninja has been my favourite. I picked it up 50% off at Canadian tire which it routinely is heavily discounted. It is oven safe. It is heavy. It’s almost like cast-iron, but it’s non stick."

Tefal

3.9

(8)

"Tefal Handsdown."

"Tefal and Circulon balance performance and price."

"The big Tefal ones they sell in Tesvo Morrisons etc. are decent. Her indoors uses them professionally."

"Currently living with my sister, she has the T-Fal, it works beautifully."

"Try T-Fal. Should be able to find it nearly anywhere (including Amazon)..."

"Go with Tefal. Good quality. Last long and price point not that bad."

"I found it better than local brands."

"Anything other than Tefal, they are rubbish and the coating comes off at the slightest touch. Stick with a properly seasoned cast iron frying pan."

#11

De Buyer

4.8

(6)

"Now I also have a debuyer mineral B too and it’s my pride and joy."

"I bought the La Lyonnaise 36cm pan. Good for my gas range, thin and responsive. Still light enough to manoeuvre."

"If you’re willing to give it time for the seasoning to build up, carbon steel pans (I have two from De Buyer) are a game changer."

"I ended up with a De Buyer Carbone Plus, as it was a bit thicker than their other lines and competitors, and thicker = more heat retention for searing."

"If you have weak wrists then De Buyer Carbone plus is another excellent allmost unbeatable value offer."

"Debuyer Mineral B, Carbone, or whatever."

#12

4.8

(6)

"Le Creuset pans last a lifetime. Highly recommended."

"Le Creuset all day! Pricey but you get what you pay for."

"The ceramic non-stick of the LeCreuset is the best, you can use metal tools, and even scrub it with steel wool."

#13

Made In

#16

Ikea

4.2

(6)

"IKEA is the way."

"Ikea Sensuell - fully clad reasonable quality/price stainless frypans with global availability."

"Maybe unpopular opinion but stuff from ikea are pretty good. Not the greatest thing, but above average for a reasonable price"

"I like the Ikea ones for a reasonably priced option."

"Personally, i love the ikea sensuell. but it has no non stick coating, so i don't know if it's what your gf likes."

#17

IKEA
