A frying pan, also known simply as a pan, is an essential kitchen tool used for frying, searing, and browning foods. Its versatility makes it indispensable in every kitchen. This article explores the different types of frying pans and their uses.
Pan Basics: What You Need to Know
Pans are flat, wide cooking vessels primarily used for frying and sautéing foods. At STONELINE, our pans are mainly made of aluminum with a robust non-stick coating that makes cooking and cleaning easier. These coatings are not only scratch-resistant but also free from harmful substances like PFOA, making them particularly health-friendly. The non-stick coating contains real stone particles, offering a unique cooking experience similar to cooking on hot stone.
Our Pans: Variety and Uses
All-Purpose Frying Pans
Frying pans are the all-rounders in the kitchen. They are flat and wide with slightly sloped sides, making them ideal for frying meat, fish, and vegetables. For example, the STONELINE® Frying Pan, 28 cm, is perfect for everyday use and comes in various sizes to meet different needs.

Consider Cooking Habits
Choose your pan based on the dishes you frequently prepare. Frying pans are ideal for frequent fryers, while braising pans are better for those who love braised dishes. Grill enthusiasts should opt for a grill pan, while fans of Asian cuisine are best served with a wok.
