Every Pan for Every Heat
A frying pan is the most personal piece of cookware in the kitchen — the one you reach for every morning and every weeknight. Choosing the right material makes all the difference between a pan you love and one you tolerate.
Stainless Steel — The professional standard. Cristel's French-made pans feature a modular removable handle system — they nest flat, go from stovetop to oven, and are built to last a lifetime. Merten & Storck 3-Ply and Made In CeramiClad offer clad construction at different price points.
Carbon Steel — The closest pan to a professional kitchen skillet. Seasons like cast iron, lighter than cast iron, and more responsive to heat. The OXO Obsidian and Icon Carbon Steel skillets are the tools serious cooks reach for.
Ceramic Non-Stick (PFAS-Free) — GreenPan Valencia Pro and Nordic Ware Cardamom deliver clean-release cooking without traditional non-stick coatings — no PFAS, no PFOA, and a surface that holds up to everyday use.
Cast Iron & Specialty — The Staub enameled deep skillet for oven braises. Frieling Black Cube and TitaniumMAX for high-performance non-stick in a durable surface.
Copper — The Made In Copper Frying Pan for the most responsive heat control available — for cooks who care about temperature precision.
