Before you buy
Think about eggs, pancakes, potatoes, and cleanup before choosing bare iron or nonstick.
- Size: 10 inches is easier to handle; 12 inches gives food more room to brown.
- Surface: nonstick is easiest for delicate foods, while cast iron and carbon steel reward higher heat.
- Cleanup: choose bare iron only if you are willing to dry and maintain it after washing.
