I was thinking about this today and realised that I probably use a deep sided frying pan more than anything else. But its not because I'm frying all the time. Its just that its a convenient size for making a meal for two - or even one. When the kids were at home I used a big chef's pan almost every day. Now it lingers empty and unused...its too huge. :ohmy:

Which pan do you use most and why?
 
A 12-inch cast iron skillet and a 7-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven.

I like them both because of their versatility. I can make nearly anything in those two pans, even breads and cakes and fruit desserts.

A roasting dish for roasts or even just a meal for two of us. The same cooks also for 10 as well. I don't like too many pans.

These cute littler items that can fit nicely in the toaster oven are a joy to have!!:wink:
 
10-inch non-stick aluminum pan from the Restaurant supply store (don't know the brand), and one of my LeCreuset dutch ovens (I have three sizes that I use pretty equally).

I seem to use one like this more than any other:

It's a small frying pan, maybe 6" (15 cm) across. I rarely use it when preparing a recipe - in that case, it's going to be a similar one that's at least twice the size - but I frequently use it when making a single-serving thing (like a breakfast burrito or a sandwich).

Very nice. Now I want to add a hanging rack for my pots and pans!

Looks like the one I use - but mine is bigger (about 21cm)
 
I really use pans that are suited to the meal(s) I'm making. The ones that get the most use are probably the LC brasier and the pasta pot.
