A frying pan is a basic cooking vessel with a shallow, wide shape used for frying, sautéing, and browning. Its broad base allows heat to spread and moisture to evaporate quickly. Frying pans are made from various materials, including cast iron, steel, and nonstick coatings.
Where It’s Used
“Heat the pan thoroughly, then add the meat and sear both sides.”
