Sizzling Plate Made Of

A skillet features the same design and function because they are the same type of pan. Although the word skillet is most commonly used in reference to cast iron skillets, the same piece of cookware could also be called a cast iron frying pan. In other words, the two terms are interchangeable and refer to the same type of pan.

The quick answer is, no. A skillet and frying pan are different because of each’s cooking surface and design. There is often confusion because the terms “skillet” and “frying pan” are often used interchangeably. And you can typically use either one of them for many cooking preparations, even if one is better suited for a specific cooking method. Plus, both of these style pans are often made from the same materials and come in similar sizes, so it's easy to understand why there can be confusion. While similar, a skillet is technically a bit deeper and has a slightly larger cooking surface area than a frying pan. 

Black Cast Iron Construction: Griddles and grill pans made of black cast iron are prized for their excellent heat retention and distribution, making them suitable for a variety of cooking methods. The black finish adds a sleek and modern aesthetic to the traditional cast iron material.

Modern copper pans—including ours—tend to be lined with stainless steel, which makes for a more durable pan than the more traditional (but much higher-maintenance) tin-lined copper pans.

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

Enameled Cast Iron Construction: Enameled cast iron cookware sets are crafted from durable cast iron coated with a layer of enamel, providing the benefits of cast iron while offering a non-reactive and easy-to-clean cooking surface. The enamel coating comes in a variety of vibrant colors, adding a touch of elegance to the kitchen.

Cast Iron Construction: Dutch ovens are crafted from heavy-duty cast iron, known for its excellent heat retention and distribution. This allows for even cooking and makes them suitable for a wide range of cooking methods, including braising, roasting, baking, and stewing.

    Likewise, cast iron shrimp grill pans are great for cooking delicate seafood.  Cast iron shrimp grill pan's high heat retention ensures the shrimp cooks evenly and quickly, caramelizing the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
