FAQ List
The best material for a 12 inch skillet depends on your cooking needs. Cast iron is great for searing meat and can go from stovetop to oven, while stainless steel is durable and easy to clean. Aluminum skillets are lightweight and great for cooking on a gas stove. Consider your cooking needs before choosing a material.
Many 12 inch skillets can be used in the oven, but it depends on the material and handle. Cast iron skillets are oven-safe, as are many stainless steel and aluminum skillets. Check the manufacturer's instructions to be sure.
If you have a cast iron skillet, it will need to be seasoned before use. This creates a non-stick surface and helps prevent rust. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for seasoning. Other materials like stainless steel and aluminum do not require seasoning.
A 12 inch skillet and a frying pan are essentially the same thing. Skillets typically have higher sides than frying pans, but the terms are often used interchangeably. Look for a skillet or frying pan that is 12 inches in diameter for a versatile kitchen tool.
Not all 12 inch skillets are compatible with induction cooktops. Look for a skillet that is labeled as induction-compatible or check with the manufacturer to be sure. Cast iron and stainless steel skillets are often compatible with induction cooktops.
