Frying pan

A frying pan is a flat, shallow cooking vessel with a handle, used for frying, searing, or sautéing foods on a stovetop. Typically made from materials like cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, or non-stick coatings, it provides even heat distribution to cook food efficiently. The flat base allows direct contact with heat, making it ideal for tasks such as frying eggs, searing meats, or sautéing vegetables. Its versatility and ease of use make it a staple in most kitchens, offering precise control over cooking processes.
