As personally recommended by the Pots and Pans team!
Whether you know it as a skillet or a frying pan, every kitchen needs one, but unfortunately the non-stick frying pan is a kitchen essential which can occasionally have a bad reputation. But never fear, we are here to steer you through the potential minefield that is non-stick pans, and provide you with our top three recommendations.
We have probably all had experience with cheaper, poorer quality non-stick frying pans; they often chip quite easily, and are often not as ‘non-stick’ as the name would suggest! This is definitely an area in which it is worth spending a little extra money to get a much better product, which will last far longer. Here at Pots and Pans we aim to bring you only the best products. So as recommended by our staff, here are our top three picks for non-stick frying pans which will not chip or flake and will offer up top results, every time.

Top Tips for Excellent Non-Stick Performance
- Temperature – once the desired cooking temperature has been reached, turn the heat down. The excellent heat conduction properties of our frying pans mean that they will retain the correct temperature, without having the heat on full.
- Utensils – Non-stick is a surface coating upon the pan, which means that sharp metal utensils can scratch and damage it. For optimum results, always use wooden, silicone or nylon tools.
- Dishwashers – Non-stick surfaces will last far longer if washed by hand, and the quality of the surface makes the task incredibly quick and easy. It is worth noting that some non-stick surfaces are classed as dishwasher safe rather than dishwasher proof. Dishwasher safe means that whilst you can put your pan in the dishwasher, its lifetime will be shortened.
