Having a skillet in your kitchen is as crucial as having oxygen to breathe in the sense that the multi-purpose kitchen utensil is great for making everything from stir-fries, sauces, pancakes and even frying eggs. That said, like every other kitchen appliance, understanding what works best for your cooking style, frequency of use and skill set involved, the skillet you pick could either be the most basic or the most high-end one. Originally, while nothing quite beats a solid cast iron skillet, it can be a challenge to own one for reasons ranging from maintenance or possessing little knowledge on how to navigate cooking in it. In that vein, picking between a non-stick skillet, a ceramic coated one or a carbonated steel one are the choices you’re left with. Read on to see which one fits your needs the most.

Regular Non-stick

For those who consider themselves to be relative beginners in the kitchen space and aren’t too familiar with ‘seasoning’ pots or pans, a regular non-stick skillet is the way to go. If you’re more suited to follow the flow of recipes as they unfold and do not mind replacing your non-stick skillet from time to time, this option works best for you.

Ceramic Coated Non-Stick

While the debate about how healthy or unhealthy it is to use a non-stick pan is still on and you find yourself on the opposing side of the conversation about the harmful effects of Teflon-coated pans, opting for a ceramic coated skillet is ideal. Unlike amateur cooks, if you see yourself making your own tweaks to recipes or improvising as you go, choosing a ceramic-coated skillet from the numerous colour options available, is the best way forward.

Carbon Steel

Although not appearing similar to a non-stick skillet at first, a carbon steel skillet works well if seasoned properly after every use. For those who are fully opposed to owning or using a non-stick skillet, opting for a carbon steel pan that requires a little bit of maintenance is great. A carbon steel skillet pretty much possesses all the characteristics of a non-stick pan, without the need to avoid using metal spoons or spatula on them.
