Long-Lasting: When properly cared for, enamel cookware, including potjie pots, can last for generations, making it a timeless and enduring addition to any kitchen.

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. 

Best for: Delicate proteins like fish and seafood, melting sugar, making candy, and sauces.

The details: Copper frying pans are expensive, but they offer superb heat conductivity. That means they heat up quickly and cool down just as fast, giving you more control when you’re making something you have to monitor closely, like a caramel sauce. “They’re at the opposite end of the spectrum from cast iron,” Nitahara says. “Because it heats up and cools down quickly, you can bring a sauce right to the brink, then remove it from the heat before it breaks from the high heat.”

A frying pan can be made of a variety of high-quality metalcore materials. It was originally constructed from heavy cast iron, which is incredibly solid and durable.

Flavor Enhancement: The seasoned surface of black cast iron griddles and grill pans imparts a unique flavor to foods, enhancing their taste and creating a desirable sear. This adds depth and complexity to the flavors of grilled and seared dishes.

Fry pans come in a greater variety of sizes, making it easy to adjust to the food being cooked, whereas French skillets are designed to handle larger quantities of food.
