While on the other side, we have the skillet which is best for cooking food at high heat such as searing, reducing, sauteing, and shallow frying. That’s because of its common construction of cast iron or stainless steel, which causes slow and even heat distribution but excellent heat retention. 

Carbon-steel pans are thinner and lighter than cast iron pans. They heat up quickly but lose heat just as fast. Like cast iron pans, they can also be seasoned to make them non-stick. They distribute heat evenly and are oven safe. Their main disadvantage is that they're prone to rust easily if not cared for properly.

The following is a side-by-side comparison highlighting the differences and similarities between the two pans.

In order to achieve the balance of perfectly crispy skin and tender, flaky interior without sticking, fish should be prepared in a pan with superior temperature control and retention. Our 5-ply Stainless Clad base distributes heat evenly and effectively, promising flaky fillets and crispy skin without running the risk of overcooking.
