What matters for eggs
For eggs, gentle nonstick performance matters: eggs stick to anything less than a good nonstick surface, and low, even heat cooks them without browning.
A nonstick frying pan is the easy pan for eggs, fish and delicate food — food releases, cleaning is quick, and it asks little technique. Its coating is a wear part, so the buying decision is really about coating quality and replacement cost.
Coating quality
Better coatings last longer and tolerate more heat. A cheap pan with a thin coating is a false economy if you cook daily.
Heat limits
Nonstick coatings degrade at high heat. If you sear steaks regularly, a stainless or cast iron pan is the better tool.
Size
A 10-inch pan suits eggs and small meals; a 12-inch suits families. An oversized pan for your burner heats unevenly.
Handle and weight
A comfortable, stay-cool handle and a weight you can toss food with matter for a pan you use daily.

When should I replace a nonstick pan?
