The Buying Guide to Egg Pan

For global buyers, choosing a pan suitable for frying eggs for consumers is not only about product performance but also directly affects customer satisfaction and market competitiveness. Cast iron and carbon steel are two popular materials in professional kitchens. Both can accomplish the task of frying eggs well, but each has its own unique advantages. This article will compare the characteristics of the two to help you accurately match the target market needs.  


Cast iron pan: classic heritage, ideal choice for stable heat control


Material properties

1. High heat storage: The cast iron pan is thick and heavy (usually 2.5-5mm), which can evenly absorb and retain heat for a long time, avoiding local overheating or burning when frying eggs.

2. Natural non-stickiness: Through proper opening and maintenance, an oil film layer can be formed on the surface of the cast iron, achieving a non-stick effect without coating, which is in line with the trend of healthy cooking.

3. Durability: With a service life of up to decades, it is scratch-resistant and high-temperature resistant, suitable for high-intensity use scenarios in commercial kitchens.


Advantages of frying eggs

Uniform heating: Suitable for soft-boiled eggs or thick omelets that need to be slowly fried at low temperatures, ensuring that the egg liquid is heated uniformly.

Versatility: Compatible with a variety of cooking methods such as stoves and ovens, meeting consumers' needs for multiple uses of one pot.


Carbon steel pan: lightweight and efficient, the invisible assistant of professional chefs


Material properties

1. Fast heat conduction: Carbon steel pans are thinner and lighter than cast iron (1.5-3mm), heat up quickly, and respond accurately to changes in firepower.

2. High ductility: The material has moderate hardness and can be forged into a more ergonomic pan shape (such as a French frying pan).

3. Non-stick potential: Similar to cast iron, it needs to form an oil film by boiling, but the surface is smoother and it is easier to flip the omelette.


Advantages of frying eggs

Precise temperature control: Suitable for crispy sunny-side eggs or omelettes that require high temperature and fast frying, reducing the risk of sticking to the pan.

Convenient operation: Light weight (1-2.5kg), more acceptable to female users or family scenarios.

Titanium Carbon Steel Wok

Titanium is mainly used in the aerospace industry due to its light weight, durability, high strength, resistance to extreme temperatures, and corrosion. Titanium is also biocompatible (i.e. harmless to the human body), so it is widely used in high-end medical procedures such as hip replacements and dental implants.

Sarchi Cookware uses a new titanium alloy cladding technology combined with high-quality carbon steel materials to create this new carbon steel frying pan. No coating, scratch-resistant, not easy to rust, and harmless to cooking. It is more non-stick than traditional carbon steel. You should still season the carbon steel to create a non-stick surface.
