Frying Pan Thickness

Skillet vs. Saute Pan: What's the Difference?

 Size is an important factor to consider when choosing the right enamel pot.  For those looking for a small enamel pot, there are many options suitable for single or small servings.  These smaller enameled pots are great for cooking soups, sauces, and side dishes.  They're also great for reheating leftovers or making a quick meal for one person.

The home chef considering his or her options for cookware can be overwhelmed by the level of choice. It can be challenging to know which frypan is best suited to your needs without getting confused. Read on to discover what you need to consider before investing in your newest piece of cookware.

Everyone can appreciate a good frying pan—especially when they turn out your favorite pork chops or soft scrambled eggs. A well-equipped kitchen typically contains several different varieties of frying pans or skillets, including cast iron, stainless steel, and nonstick. (We're not counting the other essential pots and pans you should have, too, like a saucepan, heavy-bottomed pot, or even a wok). Here is how to use, clean, and care for each.

    To use a cast iron grill pan, first preheat over medium-high heat.  Once hot, place food on the ridged surface of the cast iron grill pan and let it sear and develop those mouth-watering grill marks.  It's important to avoid overcrowding the cast iron grill pan, as this can prevent proper browning and cooking.  Additionally, using a spatula or tongs specifically designed for use with cast iron cookware can help protect the sauce in the cast iron grill pan.

As cast iron cookware manufacturers, we know that enameled pots are an essential cooking tool in the kitchen. However, even the highest quality enamel pots can show wear or damage.
