A skillet is a type of pan that is used to cook many types of food. A skillet has a larger and deeper surface than the typical frying pan, and has a different design. Skillets have curved sides that flare outward, making them ideal for sauteing or even stir-frying foods. This style pan is also wonderful for moving ingredients around quickly or tossing them without using a wooden spoon.

Ceramic pans are also light in weight and cannot be subjected to high heat. They shouldn't be used with metallic utensils and can only be used on a stovetop.

Again, these cookware measurements are taken at the top, so the flat cooking area of a skillet will be a few inches below its listed size. (Note: If cooking on a glass-top stove, the skillet’s curved sides won’t come in contact with the heat source.) 

A frying pan is the best nonstick cookware for quickly heating up. An oven-safe skillet is a great option if you like thicker and deeper cooking tools.
