Cooking is Confusing: I just learned that a skillet is better for sautéing food than a sauté pan (according to Serious Eats). #cooking
@auntiekiki According to the author, it's the sloping sides and lighter weight of the skillet, which allow easier shaking/flipping of the food.

@piratejane Oooh! Cool, thanks!
This came up because I was going through another of my "Shouldn't I have an iron skillet?" phases, despite having had two or three in the past which I ended up giving away.
I've come to realize they just aren't conducive to my spoonie lifestyle, or the way I cook. They're heavy, have higher maintenance, and are best for types of #cooking I just don't do. Except cornbread. I do love a nice crusty pan of cornbread. 🌽
@piratejane Due to heavier bottom? Or for some other reason?
