However, aluminium frying pans are not as durable as other materials and can be prone to warping and scratching. They are also not as good at retaining heat as other materials.

Typically made by adding a non-stick coating to aluminum pans, non-stick frying pans are ideal for cooking delicate foods with a tendency to stick, such as fish, fried eggs, and pancakes. The non-stick coating limits the amount of oils and fats needed to cook food and makes cleanup a breeze since your food won't stick to the pan. Non-stick pans are best used in low to medium heat settings to extend the coating's life. Using a non-stick pan in high-heat applications can damage the coating and cause it to smoke, peel, or flake.

    In addition to braising and baking, the dutch oven excels at deep frying. Its sturdy construction and generous capacity make it well-suited for frying everything from chicken to doughnuts. The high walls of the Dutch oven minimize oil splatter, while the heavy lid helps regulate temperature, ensuring golden, crispy results every time.

    No matter which method is used, it is crucial to ensure that the repaired enameled cast iron cookware is safe to use with food.  Be sure to check that all products used to restore enamel cookware are labeled as food-safe and non-toxic.

Frypans are lighter because they typically offer you ease of use, especially for cooking tasks that require frequent stirring and flipping. Think cooking eggs, sauteing vegetables, and flipping pancakes. A lightweight frypan is simply easier to maneuver and lift for more convenience. Fry pans are also usually found in aluminium, stainless steel, which are lighter metals in general.

French skillets can also have non-stick coatings like frying pans, but this is less common due to their straight edges.

   For small chips, epoxy repair kits designed for enamel and porcelain surfaces can be used. Clean the chipped area thoroughly, apply the epoxy according to the manufacturer's instructions, and carefully smooth the surface. Once the epoxy has dried, the repaired area should be sanded and polished to blend with the surrounding enamel.

Fry pans come in a greater variety of sizes, making it easy to adjust to the food being cooked, whereas French skillets are designed to handle larger quantities of food.
