Breakfast chef or dinner diva?

Whether you’re flipping crepes at dawn or cooking a juicy steak to end your evening: the best frying pan is different for everyone. In this article, we’ll guide you with a lighthearted test, handy buying tips, and of course a good dose of pan advice.

Why the right frying pan really makes a difference

A good frying pan not only makes cooking easier but also more fun. Less sticking stress, even heat distribution, and a better final result. The difference between "meh" and "wow!" often lies in the base.

The big pots and pans quiz: discover your pan profile

• Are you a quick snack master? Then you want a pan that heats up fast. Choose aluminum.
• Do you like to simmer for hours? Then cast iron is your best kitchen buddy.
• Want to be able to fry all-round? Go for stainless steel with a thick base. Versatile and indestructible.

Test done? Great! Now you know what you need. Now just choose with your eyes, heart, and mind.

Aluminum frying pans: light and nice and fast

For those who value speed (and have a slightly less muscular dishwashing arm), aluminum is a winner. Light in weight, heats up quickly, and ideal for weekday stir-fries or omelet mornings.

Pro tip: our aluminum frying pans have a strong non-stick coating without any toxic stuff. Safe cooking without sticky pan panic!

Stainless steel frying pans: robust and ready for anything

With a stainless steel pan from Cook & Pan you’re always good to go. You can fry crispy potatoes in it, but also perfect fish fillets without panic. With or without butter. With or without talent. (Okay, a little talent helps.)

These pans are made for the conscious cook who wants to combine style and performance. And yes, they can go in the dishwasher. Nice and easy.

Cast iron frying pans: heavy artillery for serious flavor

Cast iron is the powerhouse among pots and pans. It holds heat like no other and is perfect for robust dishes with a golden edge: think a big ribeye, spicy shakshuka, or pancakes for the whole family. A bit heavier in the hand, but you get serious flavor and a long lifespan in return.

And beautiful? Absolutely. Our cast iron frying pans can proudly stand on the stove. A stylish workhorse always ready to let your inner chef shine.

How to recognize the best frying pan?

• Material: Aluminum for speed, stainless steel for versatility, cast iron for power.
• Non-stick coating: Check if it’s free of PFAS. (Spoiler: ours definitely are.)
• Handle: Heat resistant and comfortable to hold. No slippery situations.
• Care: Some pans can go in the dishwasher, others prefer hand washing.
