How to Choose the Best Frying Pan for Your Kitchen

There are many things to consider when selecting the best frypan for you including size, purpose, material, and overall maintenance.

Consider Your Cooktop: Ensure fry pan compatibility to your cooktop (gas, electric, induction). Most fry pans these days are compatible with induction cooktops to be more versatile and universal, however, it’s always best to check the packaging or product descriptions prior to purchase. Cast iron frypans can be used on cooktops and over the campfire.
Cooking Style: Are you searing steaks, frying eggs, or making stir-fries? Skillets are perfect for steaks and other meats to create a char effect, plus can sustain high heats. A large frypan or wok is most suitable for stirfrys, whereas a mini frypan is suitable for frying eggs.
Capacity & Size: 16-20cm frying pans are perfect for single servings and frying eggs. The most common frypan size available is between 22-28cm as it is considered the most versatile. 30-32cm frypans benefit families and home chefs who like to entertain. This size (also known as a sautepan or chef pan) typically comes with a helper handle to manage the weight of the pan, and a lid for more cooking methods such as steaming.
Weight & Handling: You may find that some materials are heavier than others however this doesn’t affect the performance of the frying pan by any means. The weight of cast iron frypans is heavier than aluminium however that also means they are extremely durable and can last for generations. Aluminium is lighter, however, can also be suitable for the oven. Some frypans come with cool to touch handles. It is always recommended to handle with care such as a tea towel around the handle.
Durability & Longevity: As mentioned above, cast iron frypans are extremely durable and engineered to last generations. Aluminium is light weight however with the construction of layers, stainless steel and non-stick frying pans mostly come with lifetime guarantees. If fry pans are maintained, seasoned, and clean correctly then the frypan will last much longer.
Maintenance & Care: Non-stick frypans and cast iron frypans require seasoning before their initial use. Natural cast iron will require continuous seasoning to maintain its non-stick properties. However cleaning cast iron only requires a simple wipe after use. Stainless steel and non-stick frypans require little oil to cook and are very easy to clean. These can also be dishwasher safe.

While not essential for all frying, it's highly recommended for many recipes and overall kitchen efficiency.
