 The price of cast iron cookware can vary depending on the brand, size, and type of cookware.  Generally speaking, if properly maintained, cast iron cookware is an investment that will last a lifetime.  While the initial cost may be higher than other types of cast iron cookware, the longevity and performance of cast iron make it worth the purchase.  Additionally, shopping for cast iron cookware on sale or on sale can help you save money while still providing your kitchen with high-quality cookware.

While a lid isn’t customary on a French skillet, it shares several characteristics with a sauté pan, so it’s possible to get one with one if you like to preserve the ingredients while cooking.

You can still find French skillets in professional kitchens because they provide good heat dispersion during cooking. But other cooks have shifted to frying pans over time because of their perceived durability and sturdiness.

Not all pans are the same, however, and sometimes how your food turns out depends on what type of pan you use. Read on to see some of the most common types of frying pans and what they're used for.

Aside from being available in a range of different colors, the main advantage of enameled cast iron over unfinished cast iron is that it’s much less likely to rust, and is also relatively easy to clean and maintain. And while these pans are more of an investment than mass-market unfinished cast iron cookware, they offer invaluable convenience and elegance that’ll last for several lifetimes.

While no non stick pan will last forever, high-quality construction and care make a difference. That's why chefs rely on our professional-grade Non Stick for brunch service—whether scrambling eggs, rolling omelettes, or cooking frittata, eggs won't stick and cleanup remains easy, no matter how many times it's used in service.

Ultimately, the type of frying pan you choose will depend on your individual cooking style, needs, and preferences. No matter which type you choose, a quality frying pan is an essential kitchen tool that will provide you with years of cooking enjoyment.

Skillets have less cooking area which may be a drawback, depending on what you're cooking. That said, skillets have the advantage of making it easy to toss or shake ingredients so that they cook evenly, thanks to the pans’ slanted sides. (You know, the professional chef move, when instead of using a wooden spoon to stir or mix the ingredients, with a quick jerk of the wrist, the ingredients are tossed and quickly caught back in the pan.) Skillets are great pans for sauteing foods and stir-frys because of how easy the pan is to move with agility. 

Worried about choosing the “best” frying pan? Well, don’t—it doesn’t exist. Instead, think about which pan is going to enhance your daily cooking experience. And while you don’t need to spend a ton on a good frying pan, we definitely recommend investing a little bit more: Not only will a higher-quality pan perform better, but it’ll also last longer.

How to clean: For burned stains, boil 2 cups water and 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar in the pan for 20 minutes, then scrub.
