Non-stick pans have some form of an interior coating such as Teflon or PTFE which prevents food from sticking during cooking. They're best for foods like pancakes, eggs, fish, or crepes which require low or medium heat and little or no oil. This makes them ideal for weight management because you can use them to cook low-fat food.

Once the pan has cooled, hand-wash the pan in warm water with mild dish detergent and a sponge. Use the rough side of the sponge or wooden spatula to scrape off stuck-on food bits. Never use steel wool or other abrasive scrubbers to clean the pan, as this can scratch the metal.

 In terms of maintenance, enamel pots are easier to maintain.  The smooth enamel surface cleans easily with mild abrasives and mild detergents, making enamel pots a low-maintenance option for busy home cooks.

    One of the great things about cast skillets is the versatility of Cast Griddle Plates size.  From small cast iron griddles to large cast iron griddles pan, there's a size to suit every need.  Mini cast iron griddles are great for single servings or small dishes, while large cast iron griddles are perfect for cooking for multiple people.  Regardless of size, these  cast iron pans can withstand high temperatures and provide even cooking, making them a solid choice for any meal.

Like skillets or frying pans, our 3.5 qt Saute Pan can be used to cook on the stovetop. Unlike a frying pan, a Sauté Pan is usually much deeper. The Saute Pan's straight, vertical sides are designed to hold a greater volume and prevent spills while limiting the cook's access with a spatula. 

Cast iron is usually what you think of when you mention the word “skillet.'' Cast iron is heavy, and it can be hard to maneuver in the kitchen. However, many people love cast iron because it can retain heat. Newer pans will need to be seasoned with a light coating of oil. After the pan is seasoned, cast iron has excellent non-stick abilities. 

Fragile in nature: Non-stick cookware is not made for heavy-duty cooking and requires constant maintenance to avoid scratching and damage. They are not dish-washer friendly and need to be hand-washed gently as being reckless with them may rip off the Teflon coating.

A chef who has spent a significant amount of time in the kitchen will know which skillet or frying pan to use for a specific meal. This article will explain the similarities and differences between a frying pan and a skillet.

Other reasons why professionals dislike using non-stick frying pan sets include the fact that they are not oven-friendly and can’t be used with metal utensils. The stainless steel pans from The Indus Valley are a great alternative to non-stick pans.

Ironically, a skillet is actually far superior at sautéing food than a sauté pan. To properly sauté, small to medium-sized pieces of food are cooked rapidly in hot fat, with constant agitation. The sloping sides of a skillet allow you to easily shake the pan, performing the jump-flip maneuver that cooks like to show off with. It's more than just ego-padding, though. It's the most efficient way to redistribute the food in the pan, ensuring even cooking for all pieces.

Frying pans have flat sides that distribute heat evenly. The low sides also act as a barrier to prevent liquid from spilling out.
