a saute pan or just what you cook and how you cook it
the name of the pan? hmmm.
There actually is a difference. A saute pan is a pan that is typically
wider with straight sides that are a bit taller (typically 3 inches)
and a bottom that is completely flat.
And a frying pan looks more like this-
The reason for the saute pan having straight sides and the
frying pan having slightly curved sides is for the purpose
of the pan. Frying pans have curved/sloped sides so that s
team doesn't collect in the pan. Saute pans are used more for
making sauces and reductions. But, there is no rule where you
can't use one versus the other especially in your own kitchen.
You are the boss of your kitchen!
