Choosing Saute/Fry Pan

Setting up a first time kitchen can be quite a task. You don’t know exactly what you need and when you do look, there are a billion choices. Please remember when you are making your purchases, don’t skimp on the quality. If you spend a little bit more now, you will save a lot of money down the road.

A definite need is a 10 or 12 inch Sautee/Fry pan.

Try to select one that has straight sides and a lid.

You can use this pan for just about everything from frying up an egg to a frittata. You can also cook rice or chicken in it with ease.

The heavier the pan, the more even the heat distribution.

Select a nice heavy weight stainless steel pan. Try to avoid Teflon coatings for your first purchase if you can't afford 2. Later when you have a chance you can pick up a mate that is teflon.
