Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm looking for a new frying pan. What are some good materials?
user
Frying pans come in various materials, but popular ones include stainless steel, non-stick, and cast iron. Each has its own benefits.
assistant
What's the difference between a saucepan and a Dutch oven?
user
A saucepan is typically smaller and used for heating sauces or cooking small meals, while a Dutch oven is larger and often used for slow-cooking, braising, or roasting.
assistant
I think I'll get a non-stick pan. Do I need special utensils for it?
user
Yes, it's best to use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils with non-stick pans to avoid scratching the surface. Metal utensils can damage the non-stick coating.
