9 Best Small Frying Pans for 2025 – Expert Reviews & Quality Picks

“Customer Review: This is a very nice skillet. I have used it twice. The food does not stick.However I do use a little oil when cooking. The price was good. It cleans very easily with mild dish detergent.”

“Customer Review: It does the job non stick very well made would recommend it.”

“Customer Review: Awesome little pan! High polish stainless makes it easy to clean. Heat transfer very efficient.”

“Customer Review: This is a fabulous Pan. It does not stick and it’s easy to clean. Use minimal Pam spray.. It is my go to. Looks good after much use. I’d like a little bigger one also. The price is reasonable. I will definitely buy more.”

“Customer Review: I’ve had other non-stick pans, but this one is so much better than those, they don’t even belong in the same category. I still use a little olive oil when I cook — habit — but I think that’s not really necessary. Even when the food starts to burn, it doesn’t stick.RE: food starts to burn — this pan cooks so much faster, and at lower heat, that it took some adjustments to my cooking. This pan cooks well with about 2/3rds the amount of heat as my other pans, in about 2/3rds the time. Now that I’ve figured all that out, I hardly ever burn the meat. <grin>Cleanup is a breeze. I wipe the pan with a damp paper towel as soon as I put the food on the plate, just to get rid of the leftover oil, sauce, whatever. (Probably not necessary, but I’d rather throw that stuff in the trash than run it down the drain.) When the pan is cool, I set it in the sink, add a few drops of dish liquid, fill it with water, and let it set for a while. I go back later and use a dishcloth or paper towel to rub the surface of the pan with the soapy water, rinse, and it’s done. There’s been no scrubbing necessary. (Maybe if I burned something to a crisp, but I haven’t done that.)I bought the 8-inch skillet for single-person meals (4 oz meat) and the 12-inch skillet for family-sized meals (1 lb. meat). I like them so much that I’ve just ordered the 11-inch flat griddle; I expect it’ll make reheating leftover pizza much easier. These pans are absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend them.”

“Customer Review: Excellent non-stick pan! Got this one for when my OXO 12” was just too big for the job, and this is now my easy-clean-up favorite.”

“Customer Review: Love this pan. I bought the ninja set. And it does not compare. This pan is truly non stick. This is second one I have bought. The first one I ruined by making caramel and it hardened and pulled the coating off my pan. I tried two pans after I ruined my first one and this is better by far. Huge size can cook anything w easy to clean. Cooks evenly.”

“Customer Review: Bought the wrong size, but it is a very nice pan. Non stick works great, classy look, they give you a free screwdriver to assemble it, which I don’t need but I suspect if you don’t have any tools around your living space, it would be a Godsend. Very kind of them to offer that.These pans last about 18 months to 2 years of constant use and abuse before the non stick fails and starts flaking. This is about standard for this class of pans.One it looses its non stick, get rid of it, it is flaking off very microscopic pieces into your food.To make it last longer, never use it for high heat, use cast iron or steal, non stick gets destroyed by high heat. Medium to medium high, that’s it.”

“Customer Review: This is my third Sensarte pan. I bought two other larger sizes and absolutely love them. They clean up nice and nothing sticks to the bottom. Good price and quality products. They also give you a free screwdriver to put the handle on.”

“Customer Review: I have a 9″ incher ( hehe) …..Pan. Joke aside, it’s really good. I find if I do what others have suggested and NOT BURN the pan on HIGH, it works great and lasts. I used it a few times a week ( I only have the 8″electric coils ) and it works fine. Looks like NEW after months regular use. I never have used heat higher than 6 and mostly cook at around 5 1/2 (out of 10 max) . It’s a great pan for non stick, just take care of it. For example, only use wood spatula or spoon. I’m thinking about buying / trying the bigger size. I don’t know if it will heat evenly with a bigger size but I might try it.”

“Customer Review: This pan is small. 5 inches. But, it is the perfect one egg pan. The finish is wonderful and clean up is a breeze.”

“Customer Review: We fry eggs as one ingredient for toasted bagel sandwiches–perfect size as advertised. It heats and cooks evenly without the simple, wire bail handle getting too hot. The ceramic, non-stick surface works better than any plastic-lined cookware I’ve ever used–simple cleanup with a dishcloth.”

“Customer Review: I have been using this pan for a few weeks and it has quickly become my favorite for cooking at home. The heat spreads evenly across the surface so food cooks consistently without sticking or burning, making it ideal for eggs, vegetables, stir-fries, and more. It heats quickly and maintains a steady temperature which makes cooking faster and more efficient. Also cleaning it is simple and hassle-frEe. The handle stays relatively cool while cooking which gives a comfortable grip, and the overall construction feels strong and durable so I expect it will last a long time. So this pan combines convenience, durability, and reliable performance. It is practical for students, busy professionals, or anyone who wants high-quality cookware that is easy to use, easy to maintain, and produces consistent results for everyday cooking. I highly recommend it.”

“Customer Review: I’m very happy with this 10’’ fry pan. The pan is sturdy & heatst evenly. The non-stick surface works really well.Cooking & cleaning easy. I highly recommend this fry pan for anyone looking for reliable, non stick pan at great price.”

“Customer Review: One of the best pans I’ve ever used. It’s actually fun. You can even fit two eggs in it. Great for egg sandwiches or a quick scramble. I really love the nonstick coating – it seems solid and is not flaking or peeling at all.”

“Customer Review: Perfect size for me. Easy to care for and its attractive. Too bad it doesn’t have a lid.”

“Customer Review: I’ve been using this pan almost daily and it’s been really good so far. Food doesn’t stick, even with very little oil, and it heats evenly. I like that it feels sturdy but not too heavy. The handle stays cool and cleanup is easy. Definitely a solid pan for everyday cooking.”

“Customer Review: Love this pan! I have the name brand version by the famous chef and bought this on a whim because I wanted a smaller pan. The name brand version is my favorite pan in my kitchen. This is now my second favorite pan in my kitchen. After 9 months it still performs great. It’s perfectly seasoned and I swirl my over easy eggs and flip without a spatula. I do use just a little oil/butter and it simply wipes clean with a paper towel. Use it every day! Photos are after 9 months of use. Looks like new except slight discoloration from heat on the bottom. I could probably scrub it off but why bother…”
