What is a Skillet? A Guide to Cooking Essentials

Ricardo Davis

A skillet is a type of pan used for cooking many types of food. It has a larger and deeper surface than a typical frying pan, with curved sides that flare outward. Saute pans have straight sides and are ideal for making sauces. Skillets are better for sauteing and stir-frying due to their slanted sides. Skillets can be made from different materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, and cast iron. Stainless steel skillets are versatile and can be placed in the oven. Cast iron skillets retain heat well but take longer to heat up. They are best for searing, sautéing, and baking. However, certain sauces or foods, like acidic foods or eggs, are not recommended to be prepared in a cast-iron skillet.
