Best Omelette Pan Reviews:

Iwachu 410-556 Iron Omelette Pan

Rather than making you wait for a review of the pan that we consider to be the best omelette pan, we are going to start off our list by talking about it. The Iwachu 410-556 Iron Omelette Pan is definitely one of the absolute best pans on the market for making omelettes (or any dish that requires precision) and we would definitely recommend it to everyone reading this article.

Like a lot of high-end cookware, the Iwachu 410-556 Iron Omelette Pan comes to us from Japan. It uses superior Japanese materials and design to give you unparalleled performance. To give you a concrete example of how this differs from more traditional western pan, take a look at the shape of the Iwachu.

It has a slightly more rounded shape that lets the egg glide more easily along the edges of the pan. With a bit of practice, you can get to the point of being able to cook and plate a perfect omelette without a spatula.

In terms of overall construction, the pan is made from fairly solid cast iron. If you have ever used a cast iron pan before, then you have a good idea of how the Iwachu 410-556 Iron Omelette Pan operates. Cast iron pans heat evenly and relatively quickly.

It can also withstand fairly high heats, so you can also use the pan in the oven if you want. It can be a bit finicky, especially when it comes to cleaning, but it also delivers easily the best cooking performance of any kind of material.

While the handle doesn’t have any sort of special cover on it, don’t worry too much as the handle has been designed to not retain much heat. This allows you to grab the pan right off the stove without too much trouble. Though, if you do plan to cook it at high temperatures for an extended amount of time, you might want to wear oven mitts or use a towel for safety.

Of course, if you want quality, you are going to have to pay for it and that is the case here. The Iwachu is extremely expensive, especially when you consider that you are only getting one pan. Now, with proper maintenance, this will last you a lifetime, so you should also consider that when looking at the price. However, we still will admit that this isn’t going to be in everyone’s budget range.

Nordic Ware 10692AMZ Italian Frittata and Omelette Pan

Continuing on with the trend of looking at rather unique pans, our next review on this best omelette pan is going to be a review of the Nordic Ware 10692AMZ Italian Frittata and Omelette Pan. This is the first pan of this style that we are reviewing. Although the unique design may be a turn-off to some, trust us when we say that it can offer some unique cooking opportunities that regular pans can’t match.

So, let’s start by talking about the elephant in the room so to speak, which is the unique design of the pan. The Nordic Ware 10692AMZ Italian Frittata and Omelette Pan is equipped with two cooking areas instead of one. The overall cooking area is still the same as on a regular pan, it is just that there is a divider down the middle.

What this unique shape lets you do is cook two separate “omelettes” at once and then simply flip the top piece onto the bottom one. Most people who mess up an omelette do so when trying to flip it, so the design of this pan lets you skip that tricky step. It can also be used for making other egg dishes like frittatas or any dish that consists of two items being sandwiched together.

Of course, as this pan has made it onto our best omelette pan review list, you know that it is a well-made pan in general that relies on more than just its gimmick. For example, each cooking area is made of solid aluminum with a very effective nonstick coating. So, you can trust that your eggs are always going to slide right out of the pan; in most cases, you won’t even need to use a spatula to agitate it.

Also, as we have mentioned in many reviews before, aluminum is an amazing conductor of heat. So, the fact that this uses aluminum means that you can trust that the pan is always going to heat very evenly. It is also heat resistant enough to be put in the oven, which can be extremely useful for when you are trying to finish certain dishes off.

Caannasweis Nonstick Pan

If you are looking for a truly unique pan cooking option, then you might want to give the Caannasweis Nonstick Pan a try. At first, you may not see what makes this particular pan so unique, since it is shaped just like any other regular cooking pan. However, what makes the Caannasweis unique is that it is made of stone, instead of metal.

We should clarify what that means exactly. The bottom of the pan still uses metal, otherwise, it wouldn’t conduct heat at all. The bottom of the man is with a magnetized aluminum base; the same kind that is used on many of the other pans on this best omelette pan list.

However, aside from the base, the rest of the pan is made from pure, high-quality stone. What does this do better than metal? Well, stone is a lot easier to clean. Things are less likely to burn and get stuck on the inside of the pan. Stone also won’t ever rust, so it is a bit more durable in certain ways.

Something else to consider is scratching and other physical damage. The interior parts of a traditional metal pan can be scratched quiet easily, which can impact the food that you cook in it. The stone used to make the Caannasweis is scratch-resistant. It can be a bit weird at first but trust us when we say that the stone cookware does end up working surprisingly well.

While stone isn’t a naturally nonstick material, the stone pan is coated with the same sort of nonstick coating that you would see on any other high-end omelette pan. The nonstick coating is non-toxic, and it does a good job of making sure that your omelettes don’t stick. In addition to omelettes, the pan does a great job of cooking just about anything that you can think of, this includes curry, stir fry, meat, pasta, and more.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware

For the next review on our best omelette pan list, we are going to take a look at the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware. This is high-quality cookware that doesn’t aim to do anything particularly fancy. Instead, it aims to deliver great cooking performance that you can rely on.

Even though it may look like solid cast iron, the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware is actually made from very solid, heavy gauge aluminum. By now, you have seen a couple of aluminum pans on this list, so you are probably already familiar with the benefits of this. However, let’s go over it again. The heavy gauge aluminum used in this pan brings two main benefits to the table. The first benefit is durability. The aluminum is a very solid material and it is not likely to degrade any time soon.

Secondly, as we have banged on about in many other reviews, aluminum is a great conductor. It is second only to cast iron in terms of ability to conduct heat. So, the Calphalon should always heat evenly and you shouldn’t have to deal with annoying hot spots.

Another big reason why this cookware seems to heat so evenly is because of how it is designed. The Calphalon comes with a very wide and thin bottom, which helps to disperse the heat all along the bottom. With a bit of practice, you can cook a perfect omelette every single time.

For the nonstick aspect of the pan, the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware relies on multiple layers of high-quality nonstick coating. The fact that there are multiple layers of coating is important since a common issue with nonstick coatings is that they wear out or develop holes in them.

If a pan only had one layer of nonstick coating, then it isn’t going to last for very long. By putting multiples layers, Calphalon is ensuring that your omelette pan will be lasting you for a lot longer than your average nonstick pan would.

Finally, let’s discuss the handle on this pan, as it is well-made and deserves a mention. The handles are made from solid steel and will stay cool to the touch, even when you cook with it at high temperatures. It also comes with a convenient little hole that lets you store the pan on a rack for easier access.

TeChef – Tamagoyaki Japanese Omelette Pan/Egg Pan

To finish off our best omelette pan review list, we will be taking a look at the TeChef – Tamagoyaki Japanese Omelette Pan/Egg Pan. We are going to be ending this article much the same way that we started it, by reviewing a unique Japanese omelette pan. However, if you read the first review on this article, then you will already notice quite a few differences between the two.

By far the most unique thing about the TeChef – Tamagoyaki Japanese Omelette Pan/Egg Pan is its unique shape. This is a square-shaped omelette pan, which isn’t actually strange in many countries but is very uncommon in western countries. The unique shape may not appeal to some, but it does offer some unique advantages if you are willing to give it a try. The sloped square shape can make flipping or manipulating your omelette easier. A square shaped omelette can also be easier to flip as well.

Something important to note is that despite this being an extremely affordable piece of cookware, it still manages to come with a very solid aluminum base. This aluminum base not only offers very good durability, but it also conducts heat very well. So, the pan heats evenly, which helps to prevent your omelette from overcooking.

Outside of the unique shape, the pan is otherwise fairly standard. It has the same sort of nonstick, Teflon coating that you have seen on so many other pans on our review list. The nonstick coating works fairly well, and we don’t have any complaints. Likewise, the other parts of the pan are about what you would expect from an entry on our best omelette pan list. The pan heats evenly and the handle stays cool, both of which are important features for any omelette pan to have.

Omelette Pan Buying Guide

Are you tired of buying bad cookware that causes your food to burn and stick? Well, in addition to our reviews, we also included this expert buying guide. Whereas the purpose of the reviews was to help you find a good pan that you can use right now, in this second part of the article we are going to be looking at what you need to look for when buying an omelette pan on your own.

Nonstick Properties

 

Omelettes aren’t like many other foods. With something like a steak or chicken, if some of it sticks to the pan, that’s unfortunate but you will still end up with a fairly large meal. That is not the case with an omelette.

If an omelette sticks, half of your meal is gone, and you might as well start over. So it is crucial that the pan that you buy has some sort of nonstick coating or that it is made of a material that has nonstick properties.

You can’t go wrong with classic cast iron. If you don’t want to deal with finicky cast iron, then you can’t go wrong with a high-quality nonstick coating (just make sure it doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals first).

Heat Conduction

 

Equally as important as nonstick coatings is heat induction. We mentioned this a lot during the course of our best omelette pan review list. Certain materials, like aluminum and cast iron, conduct heat a lot better than other materials like stainless steel.

When a material conducts heat better, it makes evenly cooking your omelette a lot easier. You can ask any cooking expert and they will all tell you the same thing, even cooking is the secret to a good omelette.

Regular Pans Vs Unique Pans

 

Something else that you may have noticed from our best omelette pan list is that when it comes to omelette pans, you have a choice between a plain-old circular omelette pan or a more unique shaped option.

While things like two sided pans or square shaped pans can be good purchases (we reviewed some of those uniquely shaped pans on our list for a reason) and they do offer some unique advantages, it is hard to beat the simplicity of a regular circular pan.

Cost

Finally, you need to consider cost. As you saw from our best omelette pan list, costs can vary wildly. Generally speaking, the better the pan, the more that you can expect to pay. A professional quality pan can end up running you around $100, if not more. However, if that is a bit out of your budget don’t worry because you can find plenty of good pans for under $30.
