What is a "pan"?
A pan is a basic kitchen utensil used for cooking food on a stovetop. It typically consists of a flat-bottomed cooking surface with slightly sloped or straight sides, a long handle, and sometimes a lid. Pans come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and non-stick coatings. They are versatile tools used for a wide range of cooking methods, including frying, sautéing, searing, simmering, and even baking.
