9. The nonstick pan you should use for every breakfast

10-inch Nonstick Skillet, available at Sardel, $90

Everyone needs a 10-inch nonstick skillet in their kitchen arsenal for cooking eggs and pancakes, and Sardel's $90 one is worth every penny. I've never made more evenly cooked scrambled eggs in my life, and the egg remnants glide off this pan with little more than a stream of hot water and the single swipe of a soapy sponge. The heat distribution is excellent; the edges of the pan cook at the same rate as the middle. It's a marvel of engineering. —Ellen Hoffman, director of content strategy
