While saute pans are designed to retain moisture and help steam vegetables, French skillets are better suited for frying and cooking dishes that require larger surface areas.

    The features of a cast iron Dutch oven are also worth noting.  Its durability and heat-retaining properties make it ideal for slow cooking and long stewing.  Dutch Oven Material distributes heat evenly, ensuring food cooks evenly and without hot spots.  Additionally, a Dutch oven can be used on the stovetop, in the oven, or even over an open flame, making it a versatile tool in any kitchen.

In many cases, you can use a frying pan and a French skillet interchangeably. For example, you can use both for cooking eggs, sautéing vegetables, searing meats, and making thick sauces.

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.

    After enjoying a delicious meal cooked in a cast iron griddle, it's important to know how to clean it properly.  You need to be gentle when cleaning your cast iron griddle to avoid washing away the seasonings that give it its non-stick properties.  Use hot water and a stiff brush to gently scrub the cast iron griddle to remove food particles.  

Best for: Delicate proteins like fish and seafood, melting sugar, making candy, and sauces.

The details: Copper frying pans are expensive, but they offer superb heat conductivity. That means they heat up quickly and cool down just as fast, giving you more control when you’re making something you have to monitor closely, like a caramel sauce. “They’re at the opposite end of the spectrum from cast iron,” Nitahara says. “Because it heats up and cools down quickly, you can bring a sauce right to the brink, then remove it from the heat before it breaks from the high heat.”
