Ways To Use Your Frying Pan
-
Cooking in a frying pan is more than just pan-frying. From baking cakes to making the perfect pizza, find new ways to cook with a frying pan.
How to choose the right pan
Before you buy any pan, think about what you need it for. You need a large enough pan to meet most of your needs, but not too big to prevent the food from spoiling and drying out. At the same time, consider the depth of the pan. Some pans are deep enough for stir-frying, stew or curry, and some pans are shallow enough for crepes and omelets. No matter what pan you choose, in general, the heavier the base the better.
Here are the three most common pans:
Non-stick pan
If you can only afford a pan, choose a universal non-stick pan. This will help you complete most cooking tasks and is a breeze. Regardless of what the manufacturer says, only use wooden or plastic utensils on their surfaces to protect and extend their life.
Stainless steel pan
These sturdy pans are made of durable stainless steel and require very little maintenance. Choose a base with aluminum or copper, as this makes them a great thermal conductor.
Cast iron pan
This traditional frying pan is very heavy and is a favorite of experienced chefs. However, know that they heat up slowly, but they will maintain a good temperature and transfer heat evenly. If you have more money, choose an enameled cast iron pan, which will protect the iron and reduce maintenance costs.
