skillets
Cast-iron cooking vessels
Skillets are frying pans—shallow, flat-bottomed cooking vessels with sloped sides and a long handle.
The term is especially common in American English and often refers specifically to cast-iron pans: She inherited her grandmother's cast-iron skillet.
A skillet typically has lower sides than a sauté pan, making it ideal for browning and searing.
