As the market shifted towards non-stick PTFE-coated pans, the design of frying pans began to change. Stainless steel frying pans with non-stick coatings are now readily available.
A frying pan, also known as a skillet, is a versatile kitchen tool used for cooking various dishes. The primary function of a frying pan is to fry food, but it can also be used for sautéing, searing, and browning.
The commercial brand of stainless-steel frying pans was introduced in America by Lifetime Stainless Products in 1951. Since the pans were composed of metal instead of steel, they offered a less expensive alternative to high-quality frying pans.
