Two frying pans that cost about the same here can turn out very differently in terms of how long they last and the work involved. According to our pan expert, this is mainly due to the non-stick coating, or the lack thereof.
Does a frying pan on sale wear out quickly?
A pan with a non-stick coating does not wear out faster or slower when on sale: the promotional price is on the price tag, not in the pan. An egg that now slides off the coating will stick to it after a few years.
In contrast, a pan made of sheet steel, cast iron, or stainless steel without a coating can still cook well after years with the right approach. With stainless steel, that approach mainly requires patience, while with sheet steel and bare cast iron, it also requires seasoning. Even with a tight budget, you don't have to skip such a pan: many of the more affordable frying pans in this sale are made of cast iron and sheet steel.
Will you get the same pan on sale as usual?
A frying pan on sale comes from our regular assortment, so you will also find it among all frying pans. The pan you receive is new and therefore also suitable for gifting.
Sometimes you buy a last piece: then the same pan is also in the pans outlet. What is there will not return to our assortment. If you want such a pan later, it will no longer be available.
How much hassle do you have with a frying pan on sale?
With these pans on sale, you know in advance what you're getting into:
Nothing extra to do: that can be done with the Cookinglife Frying Pan Black Cera ø 28 cm, with a ceramic coating and weighing 0.89 kg. Of the four pans in this list, it is the only one you will ever replace due to its coating.

On an induction plate, you can cook in all four of these pans. Seasoning the steel pan and the skillet is not a job for such a plate: for that, our pan expert recommends a gas burner. For the frying pans for induction, the width of the bottom is listed per size, for those who want to match their pan to their cooking zone.
A second frying pan from this sale only makes sense if it cooks something well that your first pan is less suitable for. In frying pan sets, the pans are usually of the same type, so you buy a coated pan and a non-coated pan separately. Complete sets, including cooking pots, have their own overview: the pan sets on sale.
Our order from ceramic to stainless steel to sheet steel is in our advice on the best frying pan, and there you can read for each type who such a pan is intended for.
