After researching reputable consumer buying guides, we put our top cookware picks to the test by cooking pancakes, eggs, a frittata (for those oven-safe models) and timing how long it took to boil two cups of water. Those that flipped and slipped easily with a speedy bubble received a gold star. Cleaning was another big part of the evaluation with difficulty of hand washing and whether or not it was dishwasher safe being considered. The good news: Every single item tested was a breeze to wipe down with a dime-sized dollop of soap needed (at most) for even the sauciest of messes. The manual/instructions, measurements/weight and overall use and care were driving forces with the decision in each category’s winner. We also considered pricing, performance and design (lots of pretty colors!) when ranking.
