Uses Of The French Skillet

A chef who has spent a significant amount of time in the kitchen will know which skillet or frying pan to use for a specific meal. This article will explain the similarities and differences between a frying pan and a skillet.

The weight difference between frypans and skillets can vary depending on the size and material used to construct the cookware. As a general rule, frypans are the lighter option between the two.

However, as cookware diameters are measured at the opening (i.e., from side to side of the top), a 12-inch skillet means roughly 10-inches of real cooking surface. Any food that leans on the curved edges is not in direct contact with the heat and won’t cook as quickly as food on the bottom surface. However, the wide opening and relatively light weight of skillets makes them very easy to maneuver so food can be quickly shifted inside. 

You want to match the pan to the job to get the best results in the kitchen. Skillets and saute pans are versatile, and they can handle most types of cooking methods. However, it is best to choose the suitable pans for your recipe. Take time to assess whether a saute pan or skillet is the right choice.

Skillets are typically deeper than frypans, which makes them more suitable for dishes that call for more liquid or sauce. Its depth also allows you to add in more ingredients for one-pan meals that include vegetables and meat. All this without spilling out.
