Anolon X Frying Pan
Best hybrid skillet for home cooks seeking professional searing results.
This hybrid pan finally solves the nonstick dilemma by adding a stainless steel mesh that actually allows for a proper sear. You get the caramelization usually reserved for cast iron without the maintenance, though you do sacrifice the pure, slick surface of a traditional nonstick pan for that added texture.
