What is your favorite smaller pan around 8 to 10 inches. Is it nonstick, what type of material? Thanks.

This is my favotite. Got it at Costco a few years ago. Loved it so much I got one for each of my daughters and then got myself another as a back up! It is still in its wrapper in my pantry as my original is still going strong.

If you ever see it at Costco, just buy it. I use it several times per week. Eggs, grilled sandwiches come out just perfect on it.

All-Clad D5 non-stick is my favorite and Cuisinart tri-ply non-stick comes in second.

@4kitties That looks interesting. Glad you have had a good experience with it. I may have to see if i can find that one. Thanks so much.

I bought a 3-pc. set of Henckels skillets at Costco a few years ago. They get a lot of use. They're layered aluminum with a non-stick granite surface.

I bought a pair of frying pans (with lids), 10” and 12”, from HSN last year that are ceramic. I loved them so much I bought another set and then a set for my son for Christmas. They can also go into a 350 oven. They have that silicone helper handle. I don’t think they’re in stock right now.

I have an 8" nonstick Curtis Stone fry pan frorm HSN. For Christmas, my sister found a 8" nonstick grill pan (square) for me which I had been wanting for awhile. Both clean up nicely.

I have a 10 and 12 inch members mark non stick from Sam's club. I actually use the bigger pan more. Eggs come out perfect in them. They are getting a bit worn, but that's what I reach for every time. Silicone handle. I also have two green pans from a few years ago from the Q, but the MM are really my favorite.

I don't really have a current fav, so I'm interested in people's answers.

Got rid of all old pans, a few years ago, including traditional non-stick, (except a few brand new Cooks Essentials I had I'm still using) and bought two T-Fal ceramic non stick I saw at Marshall's, one 8", one 10." They're ok...ie. they were really non-stick to begin with, but after a few uses, seem less so. But, for now I'm still using them, and I don't hate them.

I'd like to get a small cast iron pan at some point.

And, if I invested in ceramic again...I'd get the Caraway. BF has those...they are remarkable. Pricey but quality. Substantial (but beware if you don't handle "heavy" cookware easily), and the non-stick is brilliant and cleans basically by rinsing them off! No scrubbing ever necessary. He bought a whole set. I didn't need all those items, but at some point I'm going to see if I can buy individual pieces. He got rid of mostly everything else and uses this set only. Over a year of consistent use, they still look like new, perform well.

Btw, when I said they are heavy, they are not lightweight, but I have tendonitus in one wrist and some arthritius in my hands and handle them fine. Just a heads-up for anyone who doesn't like heavier pans.

I bought those too. Unfortunately, after a couple of years they stopped being non-stick. (And I'm a fanatic about doing all the right things when using and cleaning my non-stick equipment.)

Curtis Stone cookware on HSN.

Carmie — Thu, 30 May 2024 14:24:55 GMT

That's a crepe pan. I have two of them.

They are great for cooking other things too, but things like bacon, hamburgers, or anything greasy will get your stove dirty.

I had two complete sets of All Clad cookware. I really hated it the more I used it. I gave them away and I now have HexClad cookware. It is FABULOUS! Best Investment ever!!

Just bought new Caraway and Green Pan Ceramic non-stick skillets, 2 big ones with glass lids, and wok from Macy's and they are wonderful!

I don't know how long they will last, but they are the best we've ever had.

My favorite small pan is this 8" Mopita aluminum frying pan, with QuanTanium nonstick. I found it on clearance in Home Goods.

@4kitties : Sold out at Costco. Walmart has one for $23. Home Depot. Same size and brand but different color handle.

@SouthernBee

I hope they will get more of them again because it really is a very nice, durable pan.
