Tramontina Professional 26cm Fry Pan vs Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Skillet

Buy the Tramontina if you want a light, non-stick pan for eggs, fish and quick sauteing with easy cleanup. Buy the Lodge if you want one pan that sears, bakes and lasts for decades. The Tramontina is easier to handle and dishwasher safe, but its coating wears out over time. The Lodge is heavier, needs seasoning and hand washing, and holds heat far better for steaks and cornbread.

• Choose the Tramontina if you cook eggs, fish and delicate sauces often and want a non-stick pan you can put in the dishwasher.
• Choose the Lodge if you want a single pan for searing, baking and campfire cooking that will outlast almost anything else in the kitchen.
