I love stainless steel skillets and cast iron cookware as much as the next serious cook. After all, there are very few materials that are better suited to conducting heat or enduring over long stretches of time in a kitchen. But when Thursday night comes around, and I’m tired, and I’m cranky, and I’m craving the comfort of my couch, I reach for my nonstick pans. What they lack in durability, they make up for in usability. I particularly appreciate how easy they are to clean; with just a splash of water and a kitchen towel, they’re as good as new.
Since I always have my eye on the latest and greatest cookware, OXO’s line of frying pans caught my attention — especially since they’re non-toxic and nonstick. The 3-piece set has a “super slick” ceramic coating that’s oven-safe up to 430°F. To sweeten the deal even more, Amazon marked down the bundle to less than $30 apiece. If you need new frying pans, you aren’t likely to find a better bang for your buck anytime soon.

With recent research indicating that harmful chemicals find their way into our bodies through black plastic kitchen utensils and Teflon-coated pans, sourcing products from reputable brands is more important than ever before. OXO is one such brand. (We didn’t name it a 2022 “Game Changer” for nothing.) Just like OXO’s can openers and cold brew coffee makers, these nonstick pans combine functionality with quality materials and affordability. They’re free of PFAS, lead, cadmium, and more, meaning you can heat them up without inundating your body with toxic substances. They’re also more durable than your average nonstick skillet, thanks to their hard-anondized exteriors.
The tried-and-true construction has earned this cookware set legions of fans on Amazon. While one shopper swore their eggs “slide right ou[t]” of the pans, another noted that OXO’s skillets are “hard to beat at this price point.” That said, shoppers recommend using silicone utensils to maintain the coating for as long as possible.
For the easiest weeknights meals ever, add this OXO frying pan set to your Amazon cart while it’s on sale. It’s nonstick, non-toxic, and marked down to less than $30 apiece for a limited time.
