The best frying pans compatible with every hob type

Available in multiple sizes, the Venice Pro has an eco-friendly ceramic non-stick meaning your food will glide out of the pan and onto your plate. It heats up quickly and cooks evenly for reliably consistent results and the outside has been hard anodised, so it’s scratch resistant and easy to clean.

Reviewed by Digital Writer Emily Gilbert: "Using the Venice Pro has been a total dream. It's really lightweight and the non-stick coating is flawless. I love how effortlessly food moves around the pan which makes cleaning up a doddle too although it's so handy to be able to pop it in the dishwasher too."

Designed to last and look good on your stovetop, it has an attractive, highly polished body with a stylish, brushed band around its middle and also available in a larger size. Encapsulated aluminium base for even heat distribution and coated in three layers of metal utensil-friendly DuPontu2122 Teflonu00ae Platinum material, makes this frying pan an ideal upgrade if you're not looking to spend more than £40. It has a silicone grip handle and also comes with a three-year guarantee.

Customer review: “Had this pan about a month now and I cannot fault it. Used five times a week for breakfast, lunches and evening meals it handles everything I cook in it. Particularly good for omelettes even without greasing and great for vegetable stir-fries with just a spot of oil. So easy to clean with hot water it truly is non-stick. It is a solid pan though not too heavy to lift. Would recommend it to those wanting a medium-sized frying pan.”

Part of the Salter Megastone Collection, this frying pan features a rugged non-stick surface for improved cooking performance. The pan is suitable for use with metal utensils and is even dishwasher safe. Not only does it look good on its own you can buy the full matching pan set here.

Tried and tested by Deputy Commercial Content Editor, Natalie Corner: “After too many months cooking with a scratched non-stick pan, this Salter Megastone frying pan really blew me away. It meant not struggling with half my meal sticking to the pan and cleaning it afterwards a total breeze. The pan is also not too heavy to handle, so I can flip my pancakes and omelettes with ease.”

It's not often you think about needing a lid with your frying pan, but this ProCook Gourmet pan will make keeping splatters at bay a lot easier. It features a five-star ProCook Ultra double layer PFOA free non-stick coating and is oven safe up to 260 degrees which is a great bonus when you need to switch from the hob to the oven.

Customer review: “Good sturdy pan, easy to clean because nothing had stuck to it so far. Hopefully will get years of use from it.”

What would a kitchen be without a Le Creuset? The cru00e8me de la cru00e8me of cookware, Le Creuset pans prove to be worth the investment and will last you decades not just months as you whip up a whole array of culinary delights. This is technically an enamelled cast-iron frying pan but does an amazing job if you're dipping your toe into cast-iron cookware because its slightly lighter, non-stick and thanks to a handle on either side and pouring spouts make it easier to work with.

Customer review: “I have had this piece of art in a form of a skillet for nearly 18 months now and to be honest I love cooking every single day because of this pan. I now look forward to cooking almost always. Initially, it took me a while to get used to using it as it's a skill to cook on cast iron but once I got the hang of it - I am never ever going back to stainless steel or Teflon. The food tastes so much better. The stakes are juicy and with a perfect crust. Chicago style deep dish pizza is a discovery for me. The omelette is amazing and the salmon comes off so juicy. It's almost hard to believe the difference and prior to buying it I wouldn't have believed the adverts praising how good the food can taste. I do believe the Le Creuset adverts - truly converted now.”

Customer review: “Normally, I get a new non-stick pan every year or two, since I'm yet to find one that doesn't deteriorate. But it's kind of wasteful and decided to take the plunge on a top-quality pan. Went for this, because it seemed surprisingly light and the quality means it's razor flat, which is good for my induction hob. Seven months in, and the surface is just about as good as new - couple of scratches from my carelessness, but still works like new. Also still razor flat. Very happy and am confident this will last for a good few years. I use it a lot too - daily high heating.”

Ninja Foodi's ZEROSTICK collection has had rave reviews thanks to its higher heat threshold of 260 degrees and works perfectly on an induction hob. It combines plasma ceramic bonding with a unique non-stick coating, which means every pan stays flake and peel free and is metal utensil safe.

Customer review: “Great frying pan. Good weight without being too heavy. Non-stick and easy to clean. Liked it so much bought a different size as well.”

This frying pan set from Salteru2019s Earth Forged collection is good looking, long-lasting and durable. It's a great opportunity to add a pop of colour to your kitchen that isn't permanent, and this light green shade is very on trend.

Customer review: “It's the perfect pan. I have the medium size and it's light, pretty and seems to be very good quality. If I need another pan, I will buy this again. It's also eco-friendly material.”

An extremely aesthetically pleasing frying pan, the Always Pan from Our Place also claims to truly do it all. It replaces the need for a whole heap of other equipment like a steamer, skillet, or saucepan because it can do all of that and even comes with a spatula and its own spoon rest.

Tried and tested by writer Emily Thorpe: “It evenly distributes heat and sautéing is a dream in the Always Pan thanks to the non-stick surface and I really like that you don't need much oil at all. As a result of the pan's impressive non-stick surface, washing up the pan was super easy. Some reviews of the Always Pan have found that after around six months, the non-stick coating begins to wear off, so keep that in mind when caring for it. It's a nice bit of kit that is certainly multi-functional but there are plenty of cheaper alternatives if you just want a bog-standard pan that won't cost too much - they just aren't half as pretty.”
