Skillet

A skillet is certainly versatile! You can use it to prepare sauces, paella, risotto and other dishes. Like the wok, this pan is ideal for quick cooking. But it can also be used to simmer dishes, for which a lid is important. This keeps the pan tightly closed and prevents heat loss. So the ingredients heat up evenly and you can enjoy the final dish to the full. The high sides of a sauté pan have the advantage of preventing splashes and spills.

It's easy to navigate to the topic you're looking for: 

What is a sauté pan or skillet used for?

A sauté pan is used to sauté meat, fish or poultry. This means that you briefly heat the ingredients to a high temperature. This cooking technique generally requires very little oil, which makes it ideal if you want to eat less fat! When you sauté your steak, for example, you can easily turn the meat juices into a delicious sauce with a little beer or wine. 

What are the differences between a sauté pan and a frying pan?

You can choose a sauté pan with or without a lid. There are also sauté pans with one or two handles. Some brands even offer a combination of the two. The big difference with a simple frying pan is that the rim of the sauté pan is higher and straighter, which also makes it ideal for sauces. However, in many cases, the two terms are used to designate the same type of product.

Cookinglife sauté pans are available in different sizes. So there's a pan to suit every occasion. Cooking for a large group or a small group of friends is possible. Find out which pan is right for you and your needs!

How to clean a skillet?

Most sauté pans can be washed in the dishwasher, but we recommend washing them by hand to extend their life. It's best not to use sponges or hard brushes. If food residues have become embedded in the pan, soak it in water for a while. If this residue proves tough, you can put the pan on the heat with a little salt in the water and leave it to boil for 15 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and leave it to soak for a further half hour, after which you can easily remove all the food residue without damaging the pan.
