The details: These pans solve the frustration of food sticking, and they require little oil for cooking. Plus they’re lightweight, easy to clean, and affordable. But they can’t take the high heat of a cast-iron or stainless steel frying pan. “You’re not going to get much of a sear in a nonstick pan,” says Cindy Fisher, who conducted Consumer Reports’ cookware tests.

And they don’t last as long as cast-iron, stainless, or copper frying pans. “Nonstick is going to wear out the fastest,” Nitahara says. “The nonstick coating is fragile, and once you scratch it, it’s hard to flip an egg.”

In our tests of nonstick pans, we cook four eggs in quick succession. An excellent rating means all four eggs easily slid out of the pan. A poor rating indicates that some egg residue was left behind. To test nonstick durability, we rub the pan with steel wool for 2,000 strokes or until the coating has worn through.

The sloped and rounded sides are slightly higher than a frying pan, resulting in two to three inches of steepness. The high edges prevent the oil and other liquids inside from spilling out.

Enameled Cast Iron: Enameled cast iron Dutch ovens combine the benefits of cast iron with the convenience of an enamel coating. They are resistant to acidic foods, easy to clean, and come in a range of vibrant colors.

Durability and Versatility: Enamel cookware, including potjie pots, is known for its durability and versatility. It can be used for various cooking methods, including braising, stewing, and slow cooking, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen.
