A black frying pan with a speckled, non-stick coating rests on a white countertop. The pan has a long, curved black handle. In the background, there are two small potted plants on the countertop.
Core Features:
Non-stick coating: This is the defining feature, allowing for easy food release and minimal oil usage.
Heat conductivity: The pan should heat evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
Durability: The non-stick coating and overall construction should withstand regular use and cleaning.
Additional Features:
Handle: Ideally, it should be heat-resistant and comfortable to grip.
Size: The pan should be appropriate for your cooking needs (e.g., small for omelets, large for pancakes).
Material: Common materials include aluminum, stainless steel, and ceramic. Each has pros and cons in terms of heat conduction and durability.
Dishwasher safe: This feature can save time and effort on cleanup.
