The depth of a frypan is usually more shallow than that of a skillet. This makes it more suitable for cooking food like steak, chicken breast, or stir-fried veggies. Its shallow depth also makes it ideal for food that requires frequent flips like frittatas, pancakes, eggs, and fish.

Enamel-coated Cast Iron Cookware Advantage

In order to achieve the balance of perfectly crispy skin and tender, flaky interior without sticking, fish should be prepared in a pan with superior temperature control and retention. Our 5-ply Stainless Clad base distributes heat evenly and effectively, promising flaky fillets and crispy skin without running the risk of overcooking.

    Both lightweight enameled cast iron cookware and heavy enameled cookware are available in a variety of bright colors, adding a touch of style to any kitchen.  Whether you prefer the convenience of lightweight cookware or the sturdiness of heavy-duty enamel, there's an enamel cookware option to suit every cooking style and preference.

One of the drawbacks of copper frying pans is that they require special care and maintenance to keep them looking their best. They must be regularly polished and treated with a special solution to prevent discolouration and tarnishing.

Sure, you could flip a batch of pancakes in a Saute Pan and you could simmer a shallow sauce in a frying pan, but why would you when there's a pan that's meant for the job? Both pieces of cookware are quite versatile and capable of handling several cooking methods. Their key differences, however, will help you choose which one is right for your recipe.

    If you're cooking for a larger group or preparing large batches of food, a large or extra-large cast iron skillet is the best choice.  These griddles offer plenty of room to cook multiple portions at once, making them perfect for dishes like stir-fries, burritos, and even deep-dish pizza.  Large Cast Iron skillets and Extra Large Cast Iron Skillet size and ability to retain heat make them a great choice for outdoor cooking, whether on a grill or over an open fire.

Cast iron might be heavy, and it must be cleaned correctly, but it turns food brown and crispy like magic. It's easiest to buy a pre-seasoned skillet, but if you accidentally leave yours soaking in water, you can season it yourself.
