Frying pans and skillets have numerous functions that make them kitchen essential. On the other hand, cooking using a cast-iron skillet has its own distinct flavor. Using a skillet to cook feels like a special occasion.

Carbon steel cookware boasts the naturally non stick properties and great heat retention of cast iron, combined with the cooking speed and heat control of stainless steel. We’d recommend reaching for carbon steel when cooking steaks, cornbread, or anything else cooked over high heat—though it’s versatile enough to use for low-heat cooking as well.

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.

Believe it or not, the only difference between a skillet and a Frying Pan is in the name. Pan is a general term used to refer to a variety of different cooking vessels. A frying pan (made distinct by the adjective frying) is a shallow cooking vessel with sloped sides that can be used for frying food.

 There are several options to consider when choosing enameled cast iron cookware.  For example, ceramic-coated cast iron pans have a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean and resistant to scratches.  Enamel-coated cast iron pans are ideal for cooking sauces, soups, and stews because the enamel coating prevents acidic ingredients from reacting with the metal.
