Best cookware for frying eggs - comparison and preferences

Cast iron wok or frying pans are the superior cookware for frying food. Despite it's humble appearance, the cast iron utensils ensure that heat is conducted to the food instantly and produce the best intended results. Best for frying sunny side up. The only issue some may have is that you need to use a bit more oil and heat it up before putting the food in.

I have recently discovered that the Korean marble frying pan which is touted as the cookware for cooking meat and seafood in its own oil and juices, is great for cooking omelette as well.

They are better than teflon coated non-stick pans that yield undercooked results that is lacking in fire or oumph.

European tech sandwich alloy cookware such as Scanpan and Swiss Diamond are good for searing, general frying and stewing. However, they are not very suitable for frying eggs because of the even heat distribution which tends to cause the omelette to stick and break up easily.

My verdict : Korean stone frying pan which costs USD25 produces the best results and is easy to maintain.
