One of the best pieces of cookware a person can have is their best frying pan, which can be essential for creating excellent recipes. However, for someone buying a frying pan for the first time, it can be daunting as so many are available.

A small frying pan, for example, is great for cooking meals for one, or even low volumes of sources. One great product is the Beka Vita Fry Pan with Ceramic EcoLogic Non Stick Coating from Head Cook & Bottlewasher. This 20cm frying pan is dishwasher safe and can be used on a range of heat sources, priced at just £31.50.

A large frying pan is better for creating omelettes or for cooking bigger pieces of meat or fish. For £139.92, home cooks can get their hands on the Mauviel M’cook Non Stick Frying Pan from Head Cook & Bottle Washer, which is 28cm in diameter.
