Nonstick Skillet
What is Nonstick Skillet?
A nonstick skillet is a flat-bottomed pan that serves many purposes, including searing, frying, baking and browning. Its nonstick surface makes it easy to mix ingredients without them burning or over-cooking upon contact. A nonstick skillet is ideal for foods that typically stick to pans, such as eggs, delicate fish, or pancakes. Its hard, anodized base is an excellent conductor of heat and provides superior heat retention exposing ingredients to a consistent heat source throughout the cooking process.
How is a Nonstick Skillet used?
A nonstick skillet can be used for several recipes, especially ones that feature delicate ingredients. For starters, a nonstick skillet’s surface is perfect for preparing eggs, allowing the cook to slide them from skillet to plate with ease. Similarly, nonstick skillets are commonly used for seafood dishes (including for shrimp and scallops), as the surface helps achieve the perfect sear. Essentially, its flat bottom offers ingredients a direct heat source, cooking food evenly throughout.
The nonstick skillet is a healthier option to many alternatives because less oil, fat, or cooking spray are required through cooking. The nonstick surface guarantees ingredients can be flipped, transferred, and maneuvered with ease – and without need for additional fats or oils.
Benefits of a Nonstick Skillet
The nonstick skillet is a versatile pan and is ideal for cooking delicate dishes. From frittatas to pancakes to fish, the nonstick skillet is adaptable to many recipes.

When cooking with a nonstick skillet, moreover, only a small amount of oil or butter is needed, reducing the need for excess fat in any recipe.
