Another thing to keep in mind when shopping for a pan is the amount of space you have available. If you have a farmhouse kitchen with ample drawer space and a pot rack, for example, you can justify picking up one (or more) of each. For more compact kitchens, however, a smaller multi-material set will allow you to do a lot with a little.

The flat bottom allows efficient heat conduction and a larger cooking surface for foods and fluids. You can distribute the food in the skillet due to the bigger size, but the high temperature may cause the food to burn.
