2. Making grilled cheese, pancakes, or crepes

How to select the best fry pan?

• Best is to select a large one (12” or more) and if your budget allows, it is also great to have a small pan (with a diameter of 7-8″), which will be used for preparing eggs or smaller portions.
• Buy a professional grade that is NSF-certified – it will last a lifetime in most households.
• Buy fry pans made from stainless steel with aluminum-clad bottoms for best performance, heat distribution, and durability.

Buy fry pans that are oven proof – can be placed in the oven giving you even greater versatility.
