Frying Pans

The most versatile pan in the kitchen is the frying pan. You can use it to fry, sauté, bake and braise foods – or simply use it as a general-purpose cooking vessel.

The terms "frying pan" and "skillet" are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences.  If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchenware, you might be wondering what the difference is between a frying pan and a skillet. While they’re both used for sautéing and frying, there are some key differences.

The best way to think about them is by function. A frying pan is shallow and wide, ideal for dishes like eggs, pancakes, and steaks. A sauté pan is deep enough to hold liquid and has high sides to keep food from spilling out while cooking. It's great for braising meats or vegetables that need to simmer in their juices. 

A saucepan has straight vertical sides, making it ideal for boiling water or soups because you don't have to worry about splashing over the sides of the pan as you stir them around. Finally, there's a Dutch oven, which looks like a stockpot with high sides and handles on either side so that you can move it around easily while cooking food inside it.

How to Choose the Right Skillet or Frying Pan

If you're in the market for a new frying pan or skillet, keep a few things in mind. The most important thing is that you choose the right one for you and your cooking style. A good frying pan will last decades if cared for properly. Choose one that is durable, heats evenly, and has a comfortable handle that fits well in your hand. Ensure it has flared sides, so foods don't get stuck during cooking or cooling down.

Many different materials are used to manufacture pans; some of the most popular include aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and cast iron. If you are considering buying a set, make sure to weigh the benefits and the disadvantages.

Aluminum is lightweight but may discolor food over time when heated at high temperatures; stainless steel is harder than aluminum, so it doesn't scratch easily, making it easier to clean, but it can also be heavy. On the other hand, copper heats quickly but can lose heat quickly, making it unsuitable for long-term use. Cast iron heats slowly but evenly, making it ideal for searing meat on high heat without burning.
