Performance score

We assess the evenness of heat distribution by cooking pancakes. We also comment on sticking for non-stick frypans by frying an egg, however, this result doesn't form part of the overall score.
-
Durability score
View more details.
This test is conducted on non-stick pans only, the rest automatically receive 100% for this test. A section of the pan is scrubbed 10,000 times by a mechanical arm with a Scotch-Brite scourer attached under a 10kg weight to assess the resilience of the non-stick coating.
-
Ease of use score

We assess the comfort of the handle, and the balance and weight of the frying pan when lifting. We also look at how easy it is to clean the pans.

Flatness of base when heated
View more details.
Generally, a pan that is slightly concave (like a wine bottle base) will flatten on heating as it expands. If your pan turns concave on heating, you may find the food runs to the sides of the pan. The majority of the pans we've tested have a concave base when heated.

Base thickness (cm)

A thick, heavy base usually has better heat distribution and cooking performance; a too-thin base can burn your food, cook unevenly and might even warp under high temperatures.

Sides (angled, curved, straight)
View more details.
Curved sides makes tossing, sliding, flipping or lifting food easier due to the slant in the sides. A straight-sided frypan is good for stirring foods or when making sauces as the contents are less likely to spill out.
