    There are a few tips to remember when cooking with a cast iron Dutch oven.  First, it's important to season your Dutch oven properly before use to create a nonstick surface and prevent rust.  Additionally, using gentle heat and avoiding sudden temperature changes can help extend the life of your Dutch oven and prevent cracking.

Like a frying pan or skillet, saute pans can be used for stovetop use. However, there is one difference: a saute pan is deeper than a frying pan or skillet. The saute pan has vertical, straight sides designed to prevent spills and hold more ingredients. Saute pans also have a long, single handle, and sometimes, there is a small side handle to help with the additional weight of the ingredients. Plus, saute pans come with a lid to hold in the moisture which makes it perfect for cooking sauces.
