Skillets have less cooking area which may be a drawback, depending on what you're cooking. That said, skillets have the advantage of making it easy to toss or shake ingredients so that they cook evenly, thanks to the pans’ slanted sides. (You know, the professional chef move, when instead of using a wooden spoon to stir or mix the ingredients, with a quick jerk of the wrist, the ingredients are tossed and quickly caught back in the pan.) Skillets are great pans for sauteing foods and stir-frys because of how easy the pan is to move with agility.

The speed and temperature of the cooking, along with the liquid used, should help with your decision. Those slow-cooking recipes for sauces and liquid broths will benefit from a saute pan's depth and large surface. For those recipes that need meat grilled or seared at high heat, you might want to consider a frying pan. The sloped side of the skillet also makes it a great candidate for stir fry. But if you want to achieve the perfect finish for stir fry, a wok would be the best choice.

A note on storage: Our favorite way to store frying pans is to hang them. But if you have a nonstick cookware set and you'd rather stack them, make sure to place a couple of paper towels or reusable pan separators between each so they don't scratch one another.

The ideal cookware size is a personal choice and a lifestyle choice. Smaller skillets and sauté pans are great for one- or two-person meals or quick bites (ex., breakfast scrambles or side dishes), while larger sizes are able to cook family-size portions or complete one-pan meals. 

French skillets also come in different sizes, but they are typically much smaller, ranging from 8 to 12 inches.

This makes skillets the generally larger option between the two, as its overall diameter can usually range between 20cm to 40cm. The generally larger size of the skillet makes it a better choice to feed families or a crowd. Popular skillet sizes are often the 25cm and 30cm ones, especially so for those who enjoy the versatility to cook single meal portions and larger ones.
