Choosing the right frying pan for your kitchen can seem like a daunting task. After all, frying pans can be a big investment and you want to make the right choice!<\/p>\n

Picture yourself trying to cook up your favorite meal only to realize that the pan you are currently using is completely wrong. This article aims at equipping you with the right tools to make a decision on the best frying pan to purchase for an electric range. <\/p>\n

The best frying pans for an electric range are a balanced mixture of affordable, stylish, and functional. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen many frying pans throughout our cooking endeavors and we will show you what to look out for \u2014 and what to avoid. So, keep reading to find out!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is an Electric Range? <\/h2>\n

For years and years, people used gas ranges to cook food. The mentality being that gas produces an immediate flame and even heating. It also helps that these ranges do look cool and are intuitive to use. <\/p>\n

Now, enter the electric range. Electric ranges heat food differently. These ranges use a centralized heating source. Underneath the surface of the cooktop, coils heat via electrical current (hence the name \u201celectric range\u201d).<\/p>\n

This is just slightly different to how induction operates<\/a>. Induction cooking functions via magnets that then pass electricity and heat onto the pan.<\/p>\n

Based on my experience, electric and induction<\/a> hobs are becoming more common in households. All the pans we are examining today are conveniently suitable for both!  <\/p>\n

Chef\u2019s note: <\/strong><\/p>\n

 Did you know that one of the most appealing aspects of electric ranges is residual heat<\/a>? Food can stay warmer with the residual heat, even once you\u2019ve turned the range off. <\/p>\n

Which Types of Frying Pans are Best for Electric Ranges? <\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re still in the research stage of pan buying, I recommend finalizing the following categories and your stance on each of the following criteria. <\/p>\n

Category One: Budget<\/h3>\n

Determining your budget is paramount. <\/p>\n

Asking yourself the following questions are smart starting points: <\/p>\n

How much are you willing to spend? Are you willing to spend more for a single pan or for an entire pan set? <\/p>\n

Bear in mind that buying a pan set may be more economical than buying a single pan. <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve added a mixture of the two within our frying pan lineup. <\/p>\n

Category Two: Style<\/h3>\n

Some pans look more sleek than others. Take for example the professional grade pans. These boast an extra finesse. <\/p>\n

Are these pans more expensive? <\/p>\n

They could be, so you\u2019ll need to double check if they are within your budget. <\/p>\n

There are a couple of different style features to have in mind when searching for an electric appropriate frying pan:<\/p>\n
