Skillet

A skillet is a type of frying pan with shallow, sloping sides, typically made of materials like cast iron, stainless steel, or non-stick coatings. It's designed for sautéing, frying, searing, and browning foods. Skillets are versatile kitchen tools, able to handle high heat for browning meats or vegetables and often used for both cooking and serving. Their durability and heat retention, especially in cast iron versions, make them a popular choice for a wide range of cooking techniques.
