A skillet, also known as a frying pan, typically has sloped sides and is designed for tasks like frying or browning foods, allowing for easy flipping and stirring. In contrast, a sauté pan has straight, taller sides and often comes with a lid, making it ideal for cooking with liquids and reducing splatter, while providing more surface area for sautéing and browning. This nomenclature is counter intuitive because you fry in a saute pan and saute in a frying pan, but a good rule of thumb is to remember that tall straight sides help contain liquid.
