What to look for when choosing a non-stick grill pan
When it comes to choosing a non-stick grill pan, there are several factors to consider. Here are some of the most important things to consider:
Material: Look for high-quality materials that will last longer and provide better heat distribution. Aluminium is lightweight and provides quick and even heat distribution.
Handle design: The handle should be comfortable to hold and stay cool during cooking so you can easily move the pan around without burning yourself. Look for ergonomic handle design and stainless steel, aluminium or silicone handles as these don’t conduct heat.
non-stick coating: A good non-stick coating will make clean-up easier and prevent food from sticking to the pan, but not all coatings are created equal. Look for pans with PFOA-free coatings that are scratch-resistant and durable.
Different non-stick grill pan coatings
Teflon Coating: Arguably the most popular and well known non-stick coating. Teflon is a synthetic polymer coating that provides excellent non-stick properties. Easy to clean, lightweight, and able to withstand high temperatures. You also don’t have to worry about Teflon coatings being toxic as they have been PFOS and PFOA free for over a decade.
Diamond-Infused Coating: Exceptionally durable, a diamond-infused non-stick coating provides enhanced scratch resistance and longevity. Ideal for high-heat cooking, the diamond particles contribute to the superior non-stick properties as well as fantastic heat conductivity. These coatings are made by European brands like Woll and Swiss Diamond.
Titanium Coating: Titanium-based coatings are known for their exceptional strength and durability. These coatings offer excellent non-stick performance and tend to be deemed metal utensil-safe while also being more resistant to scratches and abrasions.
Best shape for a non-stick grill pan
The best shape non-stick grill pan is typically the square or rectangular shape. This shape provides a larger cooking surface area, allowing you to grill multiple items at once and make efficient use of the heat distribution. Additionally, a square or rectangular shaped grill pan helps to accommodate longer cuts of meat, fish or vegetables like asparagus without having to trim them down. The choice of shape may depend on personal preference and your specific cooking needs. If you're cooking for a large family or group, you may want a larger size with more surface area.
Differences between a non-stick grill pan and a non-stick grill plate
A non-stick grill pan tends to be smaller and designed to fit on one stovetop hob with deeper sides. Grill plates are designed to sit across 2 to 3 hobs, suitable for cooking large fish, meat cuts or larger quantities of ingredients.
