What Is A French Skillet? Is It A Saute Pan?

Worried about choosing the “best” frying pan? Well, don’t—it doesn’t exist. Instead, think about which pan is going to enhance your daily cooking experience. And while you don’t need to spend a ton on a good frying pan, we definitely recommend investing a little bit more: Not only will a higher-quality pan perform better, but it’ll also last longer.

1. Cast Iron Skillets

    When grilling with a cast iron griddle plate it's important to preheat the griddle onto the grill before adding food.  This keeps the pan hot enough to create nice grill marks and caramelization.  Make sure to brush the baking sheet with a light layer of oil to prevent sticking and aid in the baking process.  Once the cast iron griddle plate is hot, place the food on a baking sheet and let it cook to perfection.

Hearty and Flavorful Meals: Dutch ovens are perfect for creating hearty and flavorful meals such as stews, soups, roasts, and casseroles. Their ability to maintain a consistent temperature and seal in moisture results in tender and succulent dishes.

Like their aluminum counterpart, carbon steel frying pans are an excellent conductor of heat. However, they are a more durable and long-lasting option with the proper care, plus they can be used on induction cooktops. They can maintain both low and high temperatures for greater versatility and can cook both delicate foods like eggs and fish as well as sear thick meats like steaks and pork chops. Like cast iron, carbon steel pans require regular seasoning to maintain their non-stick capabilities. However, they heat up faster and are more lightweight, making them a great alternative to cast iron skillets. It is important to note that carbon steel pans are not ideal for cooking acidic foods as they can alter the foods' taste.

No, carbon steel pans are not dishwasher safe, as they can rust in moist environments. Instead, carbon steel frying pans should be hand-washed with warm water and a soft-bristle brush or non-scouring sponge.

A frying pan can be made of a variety of high-quality metalcore materials. It was originally constructed from heavy cast iron, which is incredibly solid and durable.

The weight difference between frypans and skillets can vary depending on the size and material used to construct the cookware. As a general rule, frypans are the lighter option between the two.

 When purchasing an enamel pot, it is important to consider the quality of the enamel coating.  Look for pans with a thick, durable enamel coating that will prevent chips and scratches.  This will ensure that your enamel pot will last for years to come.
