Stainless steel is non-reactive, resists corrosion and is dishwasher safe. However, it can be prone to hotspots if it's not cladded. Constructing with multiple layers (cladding) of usual stainless steel, aluminum and sometimes copper, allows for quick and even temperature control.

A 12-inch skillet gives you flexibility to cook smaller or larger portions as needed. Select two of these four styles, preferably one with a nonstick surface, whether it's coated with a nonstick material or it's a well-seasoned cast-iron or carbon-steel pan, and one for heavy-duty browning and searing. You can pick based on the best material for the way you prefer to cook. Here are the pros and cons of each:
A. NONSTICK
Pros: inexpensive, lightweight, and quick to clean, they make it easy to cook fish, eggs and other delicate foods.
Cons: Not durable. Youll need to replace every few years. Shouldn't be used with high heat.
