How to Select the Best Non Stick Frying Pan

Frying pans are one of the most used cookware in a kitchen. It is so common that a kitchen is not said to be complete unless it has a good frying pan. But today frying pans have been replaced by non stick frying pans.

The question is not whether to buy a non stick frying pan or not, the question rather is how to buy a good non stick frying pan. It may not seem to be that much important, but there are many things to consider while buying a good non stick frying pan.

Non-Reactive

One of the 1^st things to look for when buying a frying pan is to check if it’s made up of any reactive substance. We use frying pans for making a lot of different dishes, which means the pan comes in contact with a huge variety of substances like spices, vegetables, meat, oil, curd, juices etc. Hence it becomes very essential to know if the frying pan contains any reactive substance or not. It can wreak havoc on our health if our food becomes contaminated with the frying pan’s material.

Conductive

Another thing that you should check is the conductivity of the material. There are a lot of non stick frying pans in the market, but a good one has very good conduction. Conduction means the ability of the frying pan to heat quickly. A frying pan with good conduction heats up quickly, this not only saves gas/electricity, but also makes it possible to cook fast.

Even Heat Distribution

Even heat distribution is also very important factor in buying a frying pan. If the heat is evenly distributed in the pan, the dishes made are tastier and healthier.

Rust & Scratch Resistant

While buying frying pans, we should also look whether the pan is rust resistant and does not corrode over time. We should also make sure that the pan is scratch resistant as well. Many a times, we use multiple types of ladles while cooking and also do use the pan roughly. A good frying pan should be able to withstand ageing and wear & tear.

Easy to Clean

Even though we have placed it towards the end, easy cleaning is probably one of the 1^st things that a consumer looks for in a frying pan. Easy & hassle free cleaning means that the frying pan can be used time and again and also can be used easily. Now-a-days there are frying pans in the market that are dishwasher friendly and are a lot easier to clean & use than their old counterparts.
