What’s the difference between a skillet and a frying pan?

They’re often used interchangeably. Most people call the same pan a skillet or frying pan—typically with sloped sides for frying and sautéing.

Which skillet is best for everyday cooking?

Nonstick is great for eggs and quick cleanup, while stainless steel and cast iron are better for high-heat searing and long-term durability. The “best” depends on what you cook most.

Can I use a skillet in the oven?

Many skillets are oven-safe, but it depends on the handle and coating. Check the product details for the safe temperature rating before baking or broiling.

How do I keep food from sticking in stainless steel skillets?

Preheat the pan, add oil, and let food sear before flipping. When the crust forms, it releases more easily and browns better.

What size skillet should I buy first?

A mid-size skillet is the most flexible for daily meals—big enough for one-pan dinners but still easy to handle and store.
