Find the perfect pan for you!
Each type of frying pan has its own characteristics: cast iron and stainless steel frying pans withstand high temperatures and are ideal for intense cooking methods such as griddle cooking, frying, and sautéing. Non-stick and ceramic-coated frying pans are more advisable for gentle cooking, delicate foods, or for those seeking practicality in cooking and maintenance.
Choose your perfect frying pan — which one is for you?
Cast iron or stainless steel frying pan?
Cast iron skillets
Cast iron pans stand out for their excellent heat retention, ideal for frying, browning, searing and achieving that crispy finish on meat, vegetables, or eggs. They are heavier and require a little maintenance, but in return they offer exceptional durability and a surface that improves with use. Perfect for those looking for more natural cooking and more characterful results.
Stainless steel frying pans
Stainless steel pans are versatile, durable, and very practical for everyday use. They allow you to cook with precision and prepare all kinds of recipes, although they require careful temperature control to prevent food from sticking or burning. Lighter and with no special maintenance required, they have a small learning curve, but they are an all-purpose option.
