The occasional pouring spouts also make skillets ideal for reductions as you can easily pour it out without manually scooping. Not forgetting that skillets are often the outdoor enthusiasts’ favourite companion thanks to its almost indestructible and robust nature.

While they both look almost identical, frypans and skillets each have their own roles to play in the kitchen. Frypans are best used for foods that require lower heat such as eggs, pancakes, and the ever delicate fish. This is because the frypan’s curved edge makes it easier to maneuver the ingredients as you cook.

    After cooking, your cast iron griddle must be properly cleaned.  Contrary to popular belief, it is safe to clean griddle on the stove.  Once the cast iron griddle has cooled slightly, sprinkle some coarse salt on the surface and wipe away any food residue with paper towels.  The salt acts as a mild abrasive to remove bits stuck to the cast iron griddle without damaging the skillet's seasoning.  After the cast iron griddle is clean, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.

Non- stick pans are light in weight and heat up very fast. They work best under low heat and should never be subjected to high temperatures. They also get scratched by metallic utensils, so always use plastic or silicone cooking spoons with them.

The major difference between stainless steel and non-stick cookware is the material used for the bottom of the pan. This non-stick material, as discussed earlier, is easy to clean but requires more frequent and gentle cleaning.

On the other hand, stainless steel pans can handle rough cooking and cleaning while requiring very little maintenance thanks to their sturdy nature.

    All in all, a cast iron griddle plate is a versatile tool that can be used on a grill, gas stove, or oven for delicious grilling results.  

Bacon Press: A cast iron bacon press is a heavy, flat weight with a handle, designed to be placed on top of bacon strips or other meats as they cook. It helps to prevent curling and ensures even cooking by applying consistent pressure to the meat.

    For those looking for more convenience, a cast iron skillet with a removable handle is a great option.  The removable handle takes up less space and makes it easier to store the frying pan.  Cast iron skillet also allows the frying pan to be used in the oven as the handle can be removed to withstand higher temperatures.  This feature increases the versatility of the frying pan, making it suitable for a wider range of cooking techniques.
