OXO Nonstick Skillets
Best-in-Show Winners
There’s nothing like a good nonstick skillet. You can crack an egg into it and count on a perfect fried egg sliding out a few minutes later, even if you get distracted for a minute or are a little clumsy with your spatula. Sautéed vegetables and stir-fries move around the pan with ease and don’t stick or leave behind cooked-on bits that can burn.
OXO Good Grips Hard Anodized Pro Nonstick 8-Inch Frypan
WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This little OXO skillet bested the rest for three simple reasons: superior nonstick ability, a comfortable handle, and a nicely shaped body. It cruised through 50 eggs at the beginning and end of testing, indicating a slick, durable nonstick coating. Testers found its rounded, brushed-steel handle “grippy” and liked that it gave “options for where to hold.” Construction-wise, it was “lightweight but sturdy” and perfectly balanced, making it especially pleasing to cook with.

OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro 10-Inch Open Frypan
WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This pan has an excellent, durable nonstick surface that released everything we cooked in it with ease. The shape is ideal, with a broad cooking surface and gently flared sides that allowed us to move food around without spilling and easily flip eggs, steaks, and fish fillets. The simple brushed-metal handle stayed cool and was comfortable to hold, whether we were tossing cauliflower florets or tilting the pan to turn out a frittata. The pan scratched and dented lightly in our abuse tests, but we deemed it acceptable.

OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro 12-Inch Open Frypan
WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The cooking surface was slick, both when new and after extensive use, and food never stuck. It’s one of the lightest models we tested, so it was easy to lift and maneuver, but it was also sturdy and resisted denting. All of our testers liked its wide, comfortable handle. Like every other model, its surface became scratched when we used a knife as if to cut a frittata, but it otherwise held up well.

How We Tested Nonstick Skillets
We’ve spent hundreds of hours evaluating nonstick skillets over the years. We know what we like: A slick and durable coating, a wide cooking surface, and a comfortable handle. After spending dozens of hours with each skillet, we had cooked enough food to feed each of our 200-plus colleagues and reached a clear conclusion: Two pans surpassed the rest. Both arrived impressively nonstick and remained that way. They were light and maneuverable. They were also shaped just right, with broad cooking surfaces and walls just high enough and curved enough for us to stir food quickly and easily without spilling. We especially like the wide, comfortable stainless-steel handle on the OXO Good Grips Non-Stick Pro Open Frypan, and we love that it can go in hotter ovens than the previous model. This new and improved skillet is our overall winner in all 3 sizes.
