Grill pans
Traditionally, frying pans were made of cast iron. Although cast iron is still popular today, especially for outdoor cooking, most frying pans are now made from metals such as aluminium and stainless steel. The materials and construction method used in modern frying pans vary greatly and some typical materials include: Aluminium Anodized, aluminium Cast iron, Copper Stainless steel, Clad stainless steel with an aluminium or copper core. With the exception of cast iron frying pans, a polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) coating can be applied to the surface of the baking pan to make it non-stick. This is popular for grill pans sold to the home user but less so for those used by professional cooks and restaurants.
