To determine a frying pan's size, measure the pan's diameter from rim to rim. A frying pan's advertised size is not the diameter of the cooking surface, and due to the tapered design of a frying pan, that diameter will always be around 2 smaller.

COPPER CORE FRYING PANS

Another reason chefs reach for our Non Stick is for quickly cooking pasta. They’re able to add the sauce into the pan, followed by the noodles, then emulsify it together for a glossy finish. The superior non stick surface of our pans means nothing sticks and all the sauce ends up on your plate, rather than in the pan.

So, Why Is There So Much Confusion in the Kitchen?

Carbon Steel Frying Pans

Lightweight and easy to clean, non stick frying pans are all about convenience.

WHEN TO USE A SKILLET?

In contrast, French skillets have higher and straight sides, allowing you to cook more food but making it harder to flip.

While skillets and pans are easily mistaken for one another — and can be used interchangeably in a pinch — the actual cookware items do have their differences.

Stainless steel frying pans are light but durable. By itself, stainless steel is not a particularly good conductor of heat, so some pans have a better heat conductor such as aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. For example, the Carl Schmidt Pro-X 3 Pc Set Frying Pan Stainless Steel Cookware Non-Stick, which also has a non-stick coating. It's heavier than a single layer pan, but it cooks the food more evenly.

The main difference between a skillet and a pan is their shapes. A skillet has shorter, curved sides, while a sauté pan has straight, vertical sides.
