Best Omelette Pan

There are few better breakfast items than a well-made omelette.

Despite being quite simple when it comes to ingredients, omelettes can actually be quite tricky to make because of how easy eggs are to mess up. They burn, stick, and break apart quite easily, which ruins the omelette.

In this article, we are going to be reviewing some cookware that can help you to get around this issue. A good omelette pan can make the process of cooking the perfect omelette a whole lot easier.

We will be reviewing a wide variety of different omelette pans. If you want to know which pan we would recommend, get the TeChef Tamagoyaki Japanese Omelette Pan.

A Spotlight On Some of The Best Omelette Pan 2023:

TeChef Tamagoyaki Japanese Omelette Pan

 

To start off our best omelette pan list, we are going to be doing a review of a fairly unconventional and pretty uniquely designed omelette pan, which is the TeChef Tamagoyaki Japanese Omelette Pan.

A lot of what makes this cookware unique is stated right in the name of the product, but we want to go more in-depth in this review so that you can see why we decided to include it.

Without a doubt the main thing to note about this cookware is that has a unique shape to it. Japanese style omelettes are designed to be square shaped instead of traditional rounded omelettes that you often see in the West. Square shaped omelettes do have their advantages.

First off, the shape tends to make the egg a lot easier to flip. Secondly, they can hold more filling without bursting, so you can get a truly stuffed omelette. Finally, the square shape helps to promote even cooking and a thicker omelette overall.

Of course, the TeChef doesn’t just rely on its gimmick, it is a very solid piece of cookware overall. It is made from great heat conducting metal. It also heats quite evenly. All of these are things that you want to hear when it comes to finding a good omelette pan.

We will throw out a note of caution regarding the price of this pan as it is on the higher side. While it isn’t outrageously expensive or anything like that (especially given the quality of the product), we do have to warn you that the price of this pan ends up being in the roughly $60 range, which is pricey for an individual piece of cookware.

Starunder Induction Nonstick Omelette Pan

For this next review on our best omelette pan list, we are going to be taking a look at a more traditional omelette pan option, which is the Starunder Induction Nonstick Omelette Pan. This is a fairly simple piece of cookware, but it is also a very solid product overall and one that we have no issues recommending.

As we talked about in the introduction, the Starunder Induction Nonstick Omelette Pan is a very good cookware option.

For example, consider that the bottom of this pan is equipped with an extremely conductive aluminum alloy on the bottom, so you can rest assured that your omelette will always be cooked properly.

It also comes with a wooden handle, which is nice because the handle both provides a very good grip on the cookware and it also doesn’t absorb heat (like a metal or plastic handle might), so there is less of a risk of burning yourself. Finally, while this may seem like a very small feature, we do appreciate that this pan also comes with a lid.

While this is a fairly standard piece of cookware, it does have one somewhat unique aspect to it, which is its stone coating. Now, that may sound strange at first, but it is somewhat more common than you would expect.

See, stone coatings are actually very effective at creating a good nonstick cooking surface without having to rely on any sort of chemicals. If you want to make cooking the perfect omelette even easier, this pan offers a great feature for that.

The only real flaw with the Starunder Induction Nonstick Omelette Pan that we want to talk about also has to do with probably the most unique aspect of this pan, which is the fact that this pan doesn’t come assembled. This may sound odd for cookware, but you have to actually put it together yourself. It isn’t a particularly big deal, but it is a bit of an annoyance.

TECHEF Frittata and Omelette Pan

 

For this next review, we are going to be taking a look at a more unique omelette pan option in the form of the TECHEF Frittata and Omelette Pan.

As you can just tell right off the bat, this is a pretty unique pan (at least when you look at the typical option on this list). Given how popular frittatas are, we figured that this would be a good candidate for inclusion on this list.

The TECHEF is what is called a frittata pan, meaning it has two different miniature pans that can be folded on top of each other. The idea behind the pan is that you cook eggs in each pan, put your toppings in one of them, then flip the pans onto each other. This seals the frittata without forcing you to have to manually flip the egg (which could potentially break the egg).

Aside from the gimmick, this is a pretty well-made pan overall. Each side of the pan is coated with Teflon, which ensures a seamless cooking experience. You don’t have to worry that your egg is going to be sticking to the side of the pan and burning. It also has nice features like durable, heat-resistant stainless steel.

While the unique flip design of this pan is obviously a big reason why you even want to bother getting it, we do have to admit that it can cause some issues in certain situations.

For example, cleaning the pan can be a bit more of a hassle when compared to some other pans because you have to clean two separate, smaller areas. Another example is when it comes to storage, since the divide line in the pan prevents you from stacking other pans on top of this one. These are minor issues, but they are still something that you need to consider.

Carote Nonstick Skillet Frying Pan

One thing that we think has really been missing from our best omelette pan review list has been a more affordable option.

Now, this needs some heavy qualification. We don’t think that any of the options that have appeared or that will appear on this review list have been “overly expensive.”

At the same time, we do recognize that when buying a specialty piece of cookware like an omelette pan, you probably don’t want to spend a ton as you aren’t going to be getting a ton of use out of it when compared to other, more general types of cookware. There are many good budget friendly options out there, but the one that we ultimately settled on reviewing was the Carote Nonstick Skillet Frying Pan.

The first thing that we should discuss about this frying pan is how much it costs (since we made a big deal about this product’s price). The Carote Nonstick Skillet Frying Pan only costs you about $13 or so (it may get a bit higher depending on local taxes and shipping).

This makes the Carote easily the cheapest omelette pan on our review list. It ends up being a very good option for anyone who already has a pretty well-equipped kitchen and who just wants a cheap, small piece of cookware.

Given that this is an inexpensive product, that does come with some sacrifices. The first is the fact that the pan’s granite coating does scratch quite a bit easier than other, higher-end pans with similar coatings (like the Starunder Induction Nonstick Omelette Pan).

The second issue is that the frying pan is a bit on the smaller size. While omelettes don’t exactly require large pans, having more cooking space to work with is never a bad thing.

Calphalon Signature Omelette Pan

 

To end off our list, we are going to be reviewing another extremely good omelette pan, but also one that is admittedly quite pricey. We are talking about the Calphalon Signature Omelette Pan.

Some of you may be familiar with this brand because Calphalon actually has a reputation for producing quite high-quality cookware of all different stripes and this pan is a great example of what they are capable of.

To begin with, this pan really excels when it comes to encouraging even heating. We have talked many times during the course of this review list about why it is so important, so we won’t bother explaining it again.

All you need to know is that the Calphalon Signature Omelette Pan is equipped with some very heavy duty aluminum, which is not only very tough, but which also does an amazing job of ensuring that every single inch of the pan is heated to the exact same temperature.

On that note, we should also talk about how well-made this pan is in general. Every bit of the Calphalon Signature Omelette Pan is built strong and built to last. We have already talked about the really heavy duty aluminum that is used on the bottom of the pan, but we haven’t talked about the rest of the pan.

Well, it is made using the same sort of high-quality metals that the bottom of the pan is made of. Make no mistake about it, if you want an omelette pan that is going to be around for a very long time, then this option from Calphalon is one of the best pans that you can get.

Going back to something that we mentioned at the start of this review, the main problem with this pan ends up being its price.

As is the case with a few of the other omelette pans that we have reviewed as part of this article, this one is quite expensive when you consider that it is ultimately just an individual piece of cookware. Whether this cookware is still worth it in spite of its higher than usual price point will ultimately come down to you and what you are looking for in an omelette pan.

Omelette Pan Buying Guide

While we may have finished the review section of our article, that isn’t everything that we have to show you. In the next section of this article, we are going to be doing our buying guide.

This guide isn’t going to be comprehensive or anything like that, but what it will do is give you some helpful tips and advice that will make it a bit easier for you to pick out a good omelette pan all on your own.

Obviously, you can pick any of the products from our review list and be satisfied with that purchase, but we figure that this list may become out of date, and we also figure that some of you may not like any of our choices. In both of those cases, this guide should come in handy for telling you what to look for when buying an omelette pan.

Know Your Nonstick Coating

Getting a nonstick coating on your pan is fine and for something like an omelette pan, it is even encouraged since it helps to make the process of cooking the omelette easier.

However, you should know something about the different types of nonstick coatings. Many of the coatings sold on commercial cookware aren’t very good and they tend to wear off quite quickly, which ends up making the pan a lot harder to use.

We would heavily recommend looking for either a natural nonstick coating or looking for a pan that is made from a naturally nonstick material.

A prime example of what we are talking about are the Carote Nonstick Skillet Frying Pan and the Starunder Induction Nonstick Omelette Pan, both of which use a granite coating. Granite is a material that is both nonstick and very durable, so it is great for something like an omelette pan.

Shape

As you saw from our review list, there is a surprising amount of diversity in how omelette pans are shared. Obviously, there are the classic and familiar round options, but there are also omelette pans that are shaped like domes (as opposed to being flat), pans that are square shaped (those are the Japanese style pans that we talked about), and finally there are omelette pans that can be split down the middle (frittata pans).

Of the various different shapes, we would recommend going for a square shaped pan, as these make the best omelettes and they are also the easiest to cook with. Of course, you can ultimately pick whatever shape that you like best.

Aluminum Base

Regardless of what shape that you go for, you need to make sure that the pan that you pick has an aluminum base. We know that we talked a lot about this in our review list, but we want to quickly go over it once again in this buying guide because of just how important of a concept this is.

Aluminum as a material is the absolute best thing that you can use in cookware because of how good of a job it does at conducting heat. Good heat conduction means that the heat gets evenly spread across the pan, which is the secret to a good omelette.

Thankfully, most cookware, whether it be cheap or expensive, uses aluminum so finding an omelette pan with an aluminum base couldn’t be easier. Ideally, you want the cookware to use high-quality aluminum as well since this will help to keep the pan durable and also ensure that it maintains its shape (this is important since you also want your omelette pan to be quite flat as well.
