CAST IRON FRYING PANS

The benefit of a French skillet is that it is ideal for frying large quantities of food or making stews and sauces that require simmering. Its higher straight sides make it easier to cook with more liquid, while its broader base allows for even heat distribution. French skillets are versatile and can be used for various cooking tasks.

    A bacon press, also known as a cast iron steak weight press or cast iron bacon flattener, is a kitchen utensil designed to improve the cooking process and results of bacon. Typically made of heavy-duty materials like cast iron, a cast iron steak weight press is a flat, weighted tool that is placed on top of bacon as it cooks. Its purpose is to ensure even cooking, prevent curling, and promote crispiness by pressing the bacon flat against the cooking surface.

The flared sides also prevent steam from accumulating, hastening cooking by preventing mushy food.

Stainless steel frying pans are also great for high-heat cooking and ideal for searing and browning food. They are also safe for use on all stovetops, including induction.

Frypans and skillets have different shapes and intended uses, but both are incredibly versatile. It all comes down to the kind of versatility you want.
