Both skillets and frying pans feature flared sides, flat bottoms, shallow depths, and no lids. When you need to flip food, high sear, grill meat, or shallow fry, then the skillet or frying pan is an excellent vessel for the job.
Copper core frying pans have a copper exterior for excellent heat conductivity and a stainless steel interior for durability and easy cleaning. They are ideal for cooking high-heat dishes, sauces, and eggs. However, they are expensive and prone to discolouration with prolonged use.
