2. Frying Pans and Topes - A Fry Pan is a flat-bottomed pan, usually about eight to 12 inches in diameter, with low outward flaring sides and a long handle. They’re lightweight, making them great for stirring and flipping the food you’re cooking. They hold heat longer than other pans and can quickly and evenly cook foods. A tope utensil can be used for boiling, browning, and cooking almost all vegetables and gravies, soups, biryani or pulao, etc. It is a multi-purpose utensil that comes in different sizes and can be purchased depending on your cooking requirements.
