Lodge 8-Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet

“A cast-iron skillet, when seasoned well, works beautifully and helps fried eggs develop a slightly crispier base,” says Nelson Serrano-Bahri. As a chef and director of innovation at the American Egg Board, Serrano-Bahri knows a thing or two about eggs. This Lodge cast iron skillet was the top pick from our tests, thanks to its durability and ability to heat up evenly. Grab it on sale now for just $15.

Cotey Egg Rings, Set of 2

“These are great for making perfectly round fried eggs for sandwiches or controlled portions of soft scrambled eggs,” Serrano-Bahri shares. “Simply place a greased metal ring in the pan and crack an egg into it.” Cotey’s rings have a silicone handle to safely maneuver them when cooking. At $7 for a set of two, they’re only $3.50 apiece.

Beijiyi Fish Spatula Turner, Set of 2

Serrano-Bahri also recommends grabbing a fish spatula, which “has a thin, flexible edge that helps gently lift and transfer delicate fried eggs without breaking the yolk.” This set comes with 10.6- and 12.3-inch spatulas for all your egg-flipping needs. The silicone, heat-resistant edge is also safe to use on nonstick pans.

Zulay Kitchen Powerful Milk Frother Wand

Serrano-Bahri’s last suggestion for “ultra-fluffy scrambled eggs” is to use a handheld milk frother to aerate the eggs before cooking. “It incorporates air and creates a lighter texture,” he explains. This $8 Zulay milk frother has a powerful coiled head that’s great for whisking eggs, matcha, or protein drinks.

OXO Enhanced 10-Inch Ceramic Frying Pan

Chef and nutritionist Sarah Bond says, “You can’t beat a good nonstick pan for eggs,” adding that this one from OXO “holds heat well and actually stays nonstick longer than most.” It’s also a great non-toxic option, as the ceramic pan doesn’t have the kind of forever chemicals found in Teflon-coated pans.

HexClad Hybrid Nonstick 8-Inch Frying Pan

“The most important tool when making eggs of any kind is a good frying pan,” emphasizes Britt Rescigno, executive chef and owner at Fiamma. “A good pan ensures even heat distribution, preventing hot spots that can cause eggs to overcook or burn in certain areas.” Her pan of choice is this HexClad hybrid nonstick skillet, which she says is “great for even cooking, even heating, and is completely nonstick. I’ve never had an egg stick, tear, or leave residue behind.” The pan’s abilities are thanks to a clever hybrid of stainless steel and ceramic nonstick coating.

OXO Good Grips Silicone Egg Poachers, Set of 2

It doesn’t have to be so hard to make the elusive poached egg. “Poaching eggs the traditional way is great, but not always foolproof,” says Marissa Stevens, recipe developer at Pinch and Swirl. “These silicone poachers float and cradle the eggs so they hold their shape without spreading all over the pot.” They’re also dishwasher-safe, and the heat-resistant silicone can stand up to boiling temperatures.
