History Of The French 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.

Uses Of The Frying Pan

Bare cast iron frying pans are uncoated and therefore prone to rust. To prevent this, they can be seasoned with oil, which closes up the pores and prevents contact with water. After seasoning, cast iron pans don't need to be washed with soap and water after every use. Simply wipe the pan down with a pot. If the pan is very dirty, it can be washed but it will have to be re-seasoned.

 Dutch Oven Material:

The French skillet has an extended handle on one end and often a grab handle on the other, functioning the same way as a skillet’s handle and making it easy to move around.

Temperature Retention: Cast iron sizzling plates and platters retain heat exceptionally well, ensuring that the sizzling effect is maintained throughout the meal service, keeping the food hot and flavorful.
