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.

What Really Is The Difference Between A Skillet And A Frying Pan?

 In addition to its practical benefits, enamel-coated cast iron cookware is available in a variety of bright colors, making it a stylish addition to any kitchen.  From classic black and white to bold reds and blues, there's a color to suit every taste and kitchen decor.

The details: These pans solve the frustration of food sticking, and they require little oil for cooking. Plus they’re lightweight, easy to clean, and affordable. But they can’t take the high heat of a cast-iron or stainless steel frying pan. “You’re not going to get much of a sear in a nonstick pan,” says Cindy Fisher, who conducted Consumer Reports’ cookware tests.

And they don’t last as long as cast-iron, stainless, or copper frying pans. “Nonstick is going to wear out the fastest,” Nitahara says. “The nonstick coating is fragile, and once you scratch it, it’s hard to flip an egg.”

In our tests of nonstick pans, we cook four eggs in quick succession. An excellent rating means all four eggs easily slid out of the pan. A poor rating indicates that some egg residue was left behind. To test nonstick durability, we rub the pan with steel wool for 2,000 strokes or until the coating has worn through.

Considerations:

Because of their shallowness, these pans are perfect for flipping and shaking objects. Because frying pans are often thinner than skillets, they heat up faster. This ensures that the pan and food are evenly and quickly heated. Furthermore, the flavor is retained because a frying pan heats up quickly.

They are designed with a flat base to ensure excellent heat transfer and a larger surface area for faster and more simultaneous cooking.
