Smart Shopping for a Great Frying Pan: Quality Under $100

Chef Marc Forgione says you don’t need to spend more than about $100 for a good frying pan, and solid options exist well below that: stainless steel pans like Oxo (~$80) and Tramontina (~$35), budget-friendly cast iron from Lodge or Calphalon (~$50), and ceramic non-stick options from Oxo/GreenPan around ~$80. Quality cookware is available across price points, so you don’t have to break the bank.
