My most versatile frying pan is my Demeyere 7-PLY 30 cm wok.
Well it’s not really a frying pan, but it can be used for so many things, that I have to call it my most versatile frying pan.
I can sear meat in it and develop fond.
I can stir fry in it.
I can boil noodles and even pasta in it.
I can use it for vegetables sautéing too.
I can use it for pasta dishes too.
I can use acidic ingredients in it.
I can make pan sauces in it.
If I ever deep fried, I could also do that in it.
I own 18 frying pans, 9 sauter pans and 2 woks.
The Demeyere 7-Ply 30 cm wok is my most versatile pan out of all these by far.
If I had to pick a classically shaped frying pan, my most versatile frying pans would have to be my De Buyer Mineral B Pro or Darto carbon steel pans and my De Buyer Inocuivre 2.0 copper bimetal frying pans.
