The 3 Best Nonstick Pans of 2024 | Reviews by Wirecutter

A nonstick pan is the best tool for cooking fluffy omelets, golden pancakes, and delicate fish fillets—without the risk of food sticking to the bottom. After cooking many dozens of eggs in more than 25 pans since 2016, we still think the Tramontina Professional 10-Inch Restaurant Fry Pan offers the best value for the money. With good heat distribution and excellent maneuverability, it often outperforms pans that are more than triple the price.

This heavy-bottomed pan is a solid choice if you cook on induction. It heats up quickly and evenly, and it’s superslick.

This variant of the Tramontina Professional nonstick pan, made specifically for Walmart, functions identically to our pick, with minor aesthetic differences. It also costs less.

We regularly check in with folks who use our picks on how well these pans wear over time.

We recommend pans that quickly release fried eggs, omelets, and pancakes with little to no effort on our part.

While we believe nonstick pans are safe to cook with when used at moderate temperatures, we recognize that there are serious environmental concerns associated with the production of nonstick coatings, as well as potential health risks with routine exposure to the chemicals (known as PFAS) used during that production. We’ve written about how to reduce your risk and limit your exposure.

For some, a nonstick pan may not be a kitchen necessity. There are a couple of great alternatives you might be happy with instead. But nonstick pans are typically lighter, cheaper, and easier to clean than those alternatives, so they might be the only cookware that fits your needs. If you do own a nonstick pan, the best way to reduce your potential health risk is to avoid scratching the pan or heating it above 400 °F. And the best way to minimize the environmental impact is to make the pan last.

In our tests, the Tramontina Professional 10-Inch Restaurant Fry Pan distributed heat more evenly than other nonstick pans, thanks to its thick, cast-aluminum construction. During testing, the flared edge let us easily scrape the corners with a spatula, flip fried eggs, and slide omelets onto a plate. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver, and we appreciate its comfortable-to-hold handle, with a removable silicone sheath for heat protection. With proper care, the Tramontina pan should last years.

Note that you can find variants of the 10-inch Tramontina pan sold specifically by retailers like Sam’s Club and Walmart. These variants are the same pan, aside from aesthetic differences (such as the color of the handle and the number of rivets). We tested the version from Walmart, and it performed identically.

If you cook on an induction cooktop, you’ll want a nonstick skillet with an encapsulated disk—a thick, tri-ply, steel, and aluminum plate—welded to the bottom of the pan. Of the encapsulated-bottomed skillets we tested, the Tramontina Tri-Ply Base 10-Inch Nonstick Fry Pan is our pick for folks who cook on induction ranges. It heated up quickly and evenly when used with our top-pick portable induction burner, and its smooth, hollow, stainless steel handle is comfortable to hold and stays cool.

However, we don’t recommend pans with an encapsulated bottom for use on gas or electric cooktops. These cooking surfaces tend to overheat the pan’s sides, resulting in hot spots that can accelerate the breakdown of nonstick coating.
