We Found the Best Nonstick Pans After Cooking Over 100 Meals
Needless to say, we're basically omelette experts now.
If you make sticky egg dishes like omelettes, frittatas, or fried rice on the regular, you know how important a nonstick pan is for quick cleanup (and for keeping your cool in the kitchen). Using cookware that has a stick-resistant (but nontoxic) surface saves home cooks valuable time and energy during cleanup. Plus, who has the energy to slave over the kitchen sink after cooking that tasty meal? Not us!
So, we decided to take matters into our own hands and have our team of home cook-extraordinaire editors put eight of these top-rated nonstick pans to the test. Over the course of a 3-week testing period, our editors tested the below models by preparing at least one low-heat dish (like an omelette or scrambled eggs) and one high-heat seared dish (like a piece of salmon or chicken breast) using no extra fat, butter, or oil during cooking.
