Consumer Reports named the Figmint 12-Piece Nonstick Ceramic Coated Aluminum Cookware Set, a Target-exclusive line, as the top-rated nonstick cookware while costing about $180—much cheaper than Caraway ($445) and Calphalon ($378). The set earned top marks for even heating and effortless egg release, with good durability, quick heating, and cool-to-touch handles; it’s oven-safe to 450°F, works on gas/electric/induction, and contains no PTFE coatings. Target launched Figmint in 2023 as an affordable in-house brand, though the strongest individual frying pans still favor Caraway.
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.
A culinary expert says cast iron’s slow heat up and strong heat retention lead to uneven bacon rendering, with some areas overdoing it and others underdone. For small batches, use heavy stainless or nonstick pans for better control; for larger quantities, the oven on sheet pans provides even cooking, minimal splatter, and repeatable results without babysitting the pan.
