This is also known as a skillet or a sauté pan. You should at least have two types of frying pan. Get one with an untreated surface. This will work better for browning meat and caramelizing onions. Your other pan should have a nonstick surface (great for grilled-cheese sandwiches, omelet or pancakes) so food will slide off without using much oil. Choose a pan that is at least 10 inches in diameter so the ingredients aren’t crowded together. If you have problems with handling weighty objects, consider getting a pan with a hollow handle. This is more lightweight and will be easier to handle.

    Hi Mama,

    I really like non-stick pan. When there was a time that we have a "kainan" one of cook damaged my pan. Instead of getting angry I just thought that I need a new one.

    Me too Sam. I use it a lot when I'm cooking breakfast. I remember when I was still in Manila, our maid scrubbed the non-stick pan so hard because she thought the black coating is dirt. LOL
