Classic 12.5"
Best versatile nonstick skillet for health conscious home chefs.
This is the workhorse nonstick pan that actually feels like real cookware. It offers the searing capability and durability of a traditional skillet, though you’ll have to sacrifice the featherweight handling of cheaper, flimsier alternatives for that substantial, heat-retaining heft.
