I’ve Tested Dozens of Non-Stick Skillets and This $60 Set Is Hands-Down the Best I’ve Tried

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of cooking, it’s that you never really know how badly you need to change up your nonstick pans until you try to make an omelet. And, you never know just how much hassle-free cooking you were missing out on by not shelling out a few extra bucks for a set of high-quality nonstick skillets. For the longest time, I was under the impression that I was simply incapable of making a quality omelet without using a preposterous amount of butter. The truth is, I was just working with shoddy equipment — specifically, I was holding onto an old nonstick skillet that I had become really used to. However, I recently upgraded to this set of DASH Dream Green Ceramic Frying Pans, and I’ve found myself reaching for them for pretty much everything I do in the kitchen, from reverse-searing pork chops and steaks to frying eggs, making omelets, and much more.  

This DASH Dream Green Ceramic Frying Pan Set is made with recycled aluminum and features a ceramic nonstick coating for a hassle-free cooking and cleaning experience. The set includes an 8-inch and 10-inch pan, which are big and small enough for a ton of different cooking applications, and don’t take up an inordinate amount of space in your cabinets. They’re also lightweight and have stainless-steel induction plates on their bottoms, which gives them relatively long-lasting heat retention and even heat distribution. The silicone handles are easy to grip and both pans are oven-safe up to 400°F — and while they’re dishwasher-safe, handwashing is recommended.

I can’t get enough of this set of frying pans — they look great (and are available in multiple colorways to match any and every kitchen aesthetic), they cook great, and they’re super easy to clean. My favorite part about the set is the inclusion of silicone handles — they’re extremely comfortable to hold, and they don’t get hot, unlike some metal handles. The nonstick coating is also top-notch and super slick, which makes cooking and cleaning a total breeze. (Pro Tip: Don’t use cooking sprays that contain soy lecithin, since that can build up on the pan over time and render the nonstick coating useless.) And, I’m not the only one who loves these pans. “I love having pretty dishware, pots and pans, utensils, etc. in our home,” one reviewer wrote. “This DASH set delivers on form, function, and design. Not to mention, it’s a sustainable product that I can get behind. Plus, it’s so easy to clean that all I need to do is put the water pressure on high blast and the residue is all gone. It couldn’t get any simpler than that.” 

So, if you’re in the market for a new set of pans — or if your old nonstick pans have passed their prime — you really can’t go wrong with the DASH Dream Green Ceramic Frying Pan Set.
