6 best-rated non-stick fry pans in Australia

6 best-rated non-stick fry pans in Australia

Making foolproof scrambled eggs or crispy-skinned fish is easy if you’re using one of the best non-stick frying pans on the market. When you cook with these products, you don’t have to use copious amounts of oil or butter just to make sure your food doesn’t stick.

Cleaning is also going to be a lot simpler – just lightly wash the pan with soap and water, and you’re good to go.

Are non-stick pans safe to use?

Cooking with non-stick pans wasn’t always the norm. The first one was sold in the 1960s after French engineer Marc Grégoire discovered how to add a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Teflon to cookware. Before that, people had no choice but to fry omelettes or make fluffy pancakes in regular, uncoated stainless steel pans or heavy cast-iron pans.

While the earliest versions of non-stick coatings were impressive, they also needed a lot of improvement. PTFE releases toxic fumes when heated at temperatures above 300°C, so manufacturers sought ways to produce non-stick pans without Teflon. Health concerns about a chemical called perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have also pushed companies to make pans without using this substance.

Now, you can find different types of chemical-free non-stick pans made from ceramic or anodised aluminium. These offer the same impressive performance as Teflon-coated cookware while keeping you and your family safe. To help you decide which one to buy, we've rounded up the 6 of best non-stick fry pans in Australia.

Each of these best-rated non-stick pans was chosen based on performance, versatility, durability, and price. You’ll find products for any need and budget.
