Frying pan (tava) is a basic cooking vessel with a shallow, wide-bodied shape used for frying, sautéing, and browning. Its wide base allows heat to spread and moisture to evaporate quickly. It's made from different materials such as cast iron, steel, and non-stick.
Where It's Used
“Heat the pan thoroughly, then add the meat and sear both sides.”
