While they don’t last as long as other types of cookware, a high-quality non stick frying pan like ours can last for a few years with proper maintenance. Our Non Stick Cookware is even oven-safe, so you can use it to sear steaks and chops on the stove before finishing them in the oven.

Stainless steel frying pans are light but durable. By itself, stainless steel is not a particularly good conductor of heat, so some pans have a better heat conductor such as aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel.

It's heavier than a single layer pan, but it cooks the food more evenly.

Aluminium frying pans are also great for high-heat cooking, and they distribute heat evenly, making them ideal for cooking delicate dishes such as omelettes and pancakes. They are also safe for use on all stovetops, including induction.

Non- stick pans are light in weight and heat up very fast. They work best under low heat and should never be subjected to high temperatures. They also get scratched by metallic utensils, so always use plastic or silicone cooking spoons with them.

Non-Reactive Surface: Enamel cookware provides a non-reactive cooking surface, making it suitable for acidic ingredients and long cooking times. This ensures that the flavors of the ingredients are preserved without any metallic taste.

Frying pans come in a variety of materials. Which type of frying pan is best for you will depend on what you are cooking and the level of maintenance you want to put into your pan. In most cases, you will likely need a few different types of frying pans to satisfy cooking your menu items.
