The best non-stick pans in 2019

In many ways, the taste of fried foods depends on which pan they are cooked in. A good housewife always has several pans in use, differing in size, material and wall thickness. It has long been known that different dishes require different utensils. Now pans with non-stick coating are very popular. Our advice will help you choose the best quality.

Attention! The current rating of the best non-stick pans for 2022 can be viewed here.

The quality of the non-stick coating

The layer that prevents food from sticking to the pan is called non-stick. Currently, it is made from different materials.

The most common is Teflon. To be more precise, such a coating is made of polytetrafluoroethylene. Usually such a layer covers aluminum utensils. The positive qualities of such a pan are in their small mass. They are easy to care for and wash. Cooking in such a pan is a pleasure - the food does not stick at all, even if the minimum amount of oil is used. The disadvantage of Teflon is its negative attitude to strong heating. At temperatures above 200 degrees, the coating begins to evaporate toxic carcinogens. In addition, it is easily damaged by contact with knives, forks, spoons and other objects. The service life of Teflon pans is not durable.

A ceramic coating is a layer of a nanocomposite polymer substance that contains tiny sand particles. The positive difference from the Teflon counterpart is that ceramics do not produce harmful emissions even with strong heating. Cooking on such dishes is possible with a minimum amount of fat. The heating of such dishes is fast and uniform. If aluminum is taken as the main coating, the pan will also be relatively light. At the same time, dishes with a ceramic layer will have to be washed exclusively by hand.It must not be dropped, subjected to sudden temperature changes or cooked in it on an induction hob.

The marble coating is still the same Teflon, but to which marble chips are added. Such cookware gives fast and uniform heating like cast iron, but unlike traditional cookware, it weighs much less, does not cool down for a long time, and is not afraid to drop it. Such a frying pan endures temperature extremes, is not afraid of the impact of a knife or fork. Thanks to these qualities, the marble frying pan serves long enough, looks soundly and unusually. At the same time, when choosing a marble pan, you need to pay attention to the price. This item of kitchen utensils is found on sale, both in expensive and relatively cheap price categories. at the same time, the number of layers largely affects the price - the more there are, the longer the pan lasts.

The most expensive pans are made with titanium, granite or diamond coating. These materials are a nanocomposite substance with a high degree of reliability. Such kitchen utensils heat up very quickly and evenly. You can work with them with metal spatulas, forks, spoons and other kitchen utensils. They need a very small amount of oil, do not emit harmful substances, and most of all, according to their characteristics, they correspond to cast-iron cookware. The disadvantage of such pans is their high cost and the inability to use in conjunction with induction cookers.

When evaluating the quality of the non-stick layer, first of all, its thickness is taken into account. It largely depends on how many years the dishes will last. Modern standards require manufacturers to make at least five layers in total, their size should be 2 mm or more. Each of the applied layers performs its specified function.

Cast iron, aluminum and stainless steel are usually used as the main material. At the same time, aluminum is more common on sale, as they conduct heat faster.

Aluminum is stamped and cast. In the first case, the dishes are stamped from a thick sheet of material in production. The duration of the service life of the dishes depends on its thickness. A well-made frying pan should have a bottom with a thickness of 2.7 mm. With a smaller value, the dishes will fail in a short time.

Cast pans have thicker walls and bottoms. This increases the degree of reliability and weight. The thickness of the bottom of such dishes is not less than 5 mm, and the duration of operation increases to 7 years.

Grill pan selection

Such a frying pan, according to experts, should be in the arsenal of every self-respecting housewife. It allows you to cook healthy and tasty food and brings a pleasant variety to the usual menu.
When choosing a grill pan, evaluate the following parameters:

• the type of stove for which the dishes are bought;
• material;
• dimensions, shape and handle;
• the depth of the bowl and the number of grooves on the bottom.

Cast iron, aluminum or steel are used as the main material for such dishes. In this case, the non-stick coating can be any of the presented.

Aluminum pans are especially popular due to their light weight. But it should be borne in mind that such material does not tolerate high temperatures and therefore deteriorates quickly. It is necessary to take into account the features of the plate. For example, for glass ceramics, it is necessary that the bottom of the pan is perfectly smooth so as not to scratch the surface. If we are talking about induction hob, then it is preferable to choose cast iron or aluminum.

Grill pans are either round or square. But there is not much difference here, the choice depends on personal preferences.According to experts, square dishes have a larger capacity, so they are suitable for several people. If the family is small, then a frying pan of a regular, round shape will be enough for it. The same can be said about the height of the sides. The larger this parameter, the greater the capacity of the dishes. If we talk about the size of the furrows at the bottom, then it is worth giving preference to more prominent ones. So the food will touch the bottom less, and the dish will retain more juice and taste.

Choosing a wok pan

Such dishes are used for cooking Chinese dishes. Thanks to its special shape, this kitchen utensil allows you to cook with the least amount of oil. Products in it can be easily turned over by prying with a spatula or using tongs. The food heats up evenly and cooks very quickly. The depth of the pan makes it possible not only to fry, but also to cook with steam or stew.

According to experts, it is better to buy a WOC made of steel or cast iron. Steel heats up quickly and makes it possible to spend a minimum of time cooking. Their disadvantage is that they must be handled with particular care. Cast iron WOKs have excellent non-stick properties and thermal conductivity. To heat up such dishes, it is enough to turn on the stove at low power. The disadvantage of cast iron is in a lot of weight.

The bottom of wok pans can be smooth or convex. If the stove is electric, then dishes with a flat bottom will do. Well, on the gas surface of the bottom there can be any.

Also pay attention to the handles. For convenience, you should pay attention to utensils with well-fixed side handles. As for the lid, it is better to choose with steam holes.

Choosing a pancake pan

A pancake pan is usually made with low sides. Its width can be any, as long as it is convenient for the hostess to turn the product over. It must be made from the following materials:

• Aluminum with non-stick coating so that the pancake dough easily moves away from the surface. Such utensils come with a thin or thick bottom. At the same time, the smaller the thickness, the faster the dishes heat up, but also quickly it fails.
• Cast iron pans are great for frying pancakes. The only downside here is the weight. Therefore, the hand can quickly get tired during cooking.
• With a ceramic or marble coating, they are an excellent option for frying pancakes. They make it possible to cook almost without oil, do not deteriorate for a long time and do not emit harmful substances.

The only drawback of such dishes is the high cost.
