Before you buy
Match the pan bottom to the burner, then choose material based on how fast you want heat to respond.
- 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.
