If a low-cost food that's simple to cook, packed with protein, and loaded with nutrients is something that sounds good to you, I’m guessing eggs are already in your rotation. Nutritionally, eggs are a powerhouse — a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids. They work well in soups and stews, and in a pinch, can even double as a gluten-free noodle substitute.
Getting consistent results — whether frying, scrambling, or poaching eggs — often comes down to the right kitchen tools on hand. You will need a reliable nonstick or cast iron pan, a heat-safe spatula, or the right spoon to help make all the difference. We’ve rounded up our favorite egg-cooking essentials, including pans, spatulas, utensils, and handy kitchen gadgets that help prevent sticking, ensure even cooking, and make egg prep faster and easier.

Mistake: Eggs Keep Sticking to the Pan
Solution: Using the Right Type of Pan to Cook Eggs
Having a quality egg pan that evenly distributes heat could be the difference between a delicious egg dish and a disaster. Heat management is a balancing act when cooking eggs. A pan that's too hot can make eggs chewy and rubbery, while eggs will likely stick to a pan that's too cold, even a nonstick one. Whether you’re boiling, frying, scrambling, or poaching, these pans are sure to elevate your egg game.
