Having a few nonstick pots and pans is essential in every kitchen, whether you're a professional chef or you're just learning how to cook. It's almost impossible to make eggs without one; plus, it makes a beautiful grilled cheese, and keeps pancakes from tearing apart at the flip. All nonstick pans are metal with a nonstick coating, usually ceramic or PFOA-free Teflon. The one thing to keep in mind about all nonstick cookware, though, is that it's not meant for high-heat stovetop cooking. Heat can damage the nonstick coating rather quickly over time (which is also why nonstick pieces that you don't put in the dishwasher will last longer).

In other words, save searing those steaks for your cast iron or stainless steel, and break out the nonstick when it's time to simmer a rich cream sauce. Below are our favorite nonstick pans, from well-reviewed picks to some with innovative features that make cooking easy.

The two small pots are great for boiling eggs and heating soups, and the silicone-grip handles make moving them around easy. They’re a popular seller with seven color options, including agave blue, lavender, and pumpkin orange. The slotted spoon and fish spatula are a useful bonus.
