Let the pan cool first. Wash non-stick frypans by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, keeping metal scourers well away. For cast iron, avoid soaking and dry it thoroughly before adding a light coat of oil.
From flip-happy non-stick to sear-hungry stainless steel and heirloom cast iron, the right frying pan can make your everyday cooking sizzle. Since 1977, Peters of Kensington has brought together frypans the world trusts for eggs, steaks, sauces and whatever the cook can conjure, all made to heat evenly, release cleanly and stand up to daily duty.

Frypans and Skillets
Good frypans can sizzle up a storm, sear a steak to perfection and know when to let go. Even heat keeps pancakes golden from edge to edge, a reliable non-stick surface sends eggs sliding cleanly onto the plate and a sturdy base stands up to daily duty. Built for regular rotation to keep the breakfasts flipping and the dinners delicious.
How to choose the right frypan or skillet
Match frypans and skillet pans to the job. Non-stick is the easy favourite for eggs, fish and quick clean-ups, stainless steel brings heat for steaks and pan sauces, and cast iron handles high temperature before heading straight to the oven.
Check the size too: 20cm suits smaller serves, while 26-30cm gives dinner room to move. For induction cooktops, make sure the base is compatible. Sanpan and Le Creuset cover the lot, from easy everyday fry ups to serious cast-iron searing.
Complete your cookware collection
Frypans may be the busiest X in the kitchen but they can’t do every shift. Build out your pan collection with a sauté pan for saucy dinners, a saucepan for rice, pasta and peas, and a wok or stir-fry pan for fast heat and flying noodles. A complete cookware set round out the roster.
