SKILLET AND FRYING PAN MATERIALS

Stainless steel pans are non-corrosive, so they don't react with foods and leach into them. They can however stick to food if it is cooked without oil. They're good for sautéing, pan-frying, stir-frying, braising and searing meat, and oven-cooking. 

Nonstick Frying Pans

They have a single, long handle, like fry pans, but also usually feature a smaller side handle to help the cook lift the added weight of more food. Saute Pans also usually come with a lid designed to hold in moisture. This makes them much more useful for slow cooking with sauces.

Fry pans are specifically designed for frying and can be used to fry almost anything with less oil than deep-frying. They can also be used for other cooking methods and are versatile enough to replace other pots.

People are concerned about peeling because nonstick coating peels if used to cook at extremely high temperatures. Extreme temperatures are not a problem for cast iron skillets, however, they must be pre-seasoned to maintain their quality over time. Most iron skillets are safe to use in the oven.

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