Read more about the benefits of each frypan type below:

• Aluminium - boasting a quick and even heating time, an aluminium frypan means you can quickly fry off a schnitzel or whip up bacon and eggs in no time at all. Plus cleaning up is a cinch, with no hard scrubbing required.
• Stainless steel - known for its ability to stay hot, stainless steel fry pans can sear a steak or brown meat perfectly. They are very durable, and can even be popped in the dishwasher if you don't feel like hand washing them every time they're used.
• Induction frypan - if you've ever wondered 'what is an induction frypan', then here's your answer! Induction frypans are designed to be used on an electric induction stove - if you don't have one, it's those smooth, black stoves without burners you often see in holiday cabins and hotels. Only frypans designed to be used on these stoves will work, as the pan won't heat up otherwise.
• Frypan sets - to refresh your kitchen and get fully equipped, choose a frypan set so you can multitask and cook for all your family and friends. Our 2 piece and 3 piece frypans are amazing value and quality.

What is the best frypan for me?

Depending on your cooking style and hob type, choose an aluminium, stainless steel or induction safe frypan. For everyday cooking and frying you can't go wrong with a non-stick frypan which is great for searing, saute cooking, and more.

What are the best skillets for cooking?

Choose the best skillet for your needs from our range of steel and aluminium skillets.

• Anodised stainless steel - beloved for its durability and non-stick surface, anodised stainless steel skillets let you whip up delicious meals and then waste no time scrubbing away with the cleanup.
• Aluminium - light and easy to handle, aluminium skillets heat up quickly and evenly, making them perfect for cooking meals you need in a rush. Great frying or simmering a curry to get the flavours going.

What is the difference between a frypan and a skillet?

Looking at a frypan and a skillet side by side, you may find yourself asking 'what even is the difference?' The answer - not much! In fact, the terms are even sometimes used interchangeably. Technically, the difference is found in the sides of the pan. In a skillet, the sides are generally a little higher, and it may be larger as well. They are great for stir frying and sautéing, as well as for making curries. Frying pans are shallower and smaller, and are perfect for shallow-frying thin foods and cooking things quickly at a high temperature.

You can use either one for a variety of things, and you can probably get by with just a skillet or a frypan, instead of one of each.
