We love the idea of smaller nonstick skillets for frying an egg or cooking smaller meals, so we tested 8 options until we found one that stood up to our testing.

You think they're working for OXO?
WOW! Its a rarity to have the actual Executives demonstrating a product line-up.
No Tefal pans at all – too cheap? Mine lasts 5 years for eggs.
I just found your channel, and love this video. Have you tested any of the granite coated and the "diamond" coatings? Very curious as to how they fare against the others you reviewed here?
Isn't PTFE the same as Teflon?
lets test some pans? most important test, how they fare smashin on concrete blocks… (when wast last time you did smash a pan on concrete block with towels?)typical cooking move))?
OXO is 4 times as expensive in EU 🙁 100$
Two year review: Great pan but sadly the coating peels after two years even after careful use and no metal spatulas. Bought a set of granitestone pro pans from Costco for $30 (which will also probably last only a couple of years)
is there another recommendation for 11" – 12" or would the video apply to all sizes?
Try cooking at a lower temp.
GreenLife Pan are the best around, never had issues in years. The diamond ones are simply the best around..
Swiss Diamond ??? I have two and they are great. But, I have learned to use both cast iron and carbon steel and my favorite non-stick is the well seasoned carbon steel. Just my 2 cents.
Can you please test the Emeril Forever pans?
Y'all should test out the hexclad cookware
When is beating a pan on a cinder block a realistic indication of durability? I never do anything that nasty with my pans. Also, we avoid old style nonstick for health reasons.
I don’t believe you though. Feels like oxo paid. There is no way ptfe is safer than ceramic
I wonder how many people those eggs could have fed? No by all means girls, stuff your faces with the croissants.
All-Clad gets points for being induction friendly, but did this pan actually come in second place overall?
Copper Chef is THE BIGGEST con job in cooking
Strange they didn't even test Calphalon
I love these videos. I would like to have seen you test the Le Creuset toughened nonstick pan though.
Hands down the most competent review of anything ever of all time…ever.
Tefal is insanely good for the fact you can find it in every Sainsbury’s and are incredibly nonstick

OXO non stick rivet ones the non stick surface came off by fingernails very easily
I despise allclad handles they are the absolute worst ever. Hate hate, the really hurt they are such heavy pans they just dig into your hand very bad non ergonomic. People who say they are good are just allclad fan boys.
foolish with no grain ,why don't we go ahead and buy a pan ,season it use it ,discard it after few years to come across a reliable brand ,Surprised that the Lady on left has not yet seen a worthy pan in all her years of cooking experience .she goes along with the younger lady to put up a worthless show ,
Have to add dropping butter knives into the pans to the durability test. This happens a lot when someone has a pan in the sink and someone else tosses a knife in there. That's where most of those little divots come from. And an induction rapid heat test as well. MANY times when people get warped bottoms it's from using an induction heater on high.
I love the aprons you are wearing! Where can I get one that has the princess seam like the once in the video?
What’s your opinion of the comparison of the Viking versus All Clad D3?
