A stainless steel frying pan.

A frying pan, frypan, or skillet is a pan used for frying, searing, and browning foods. It is typically a 20 to 30 cm diameter (8 to 12 inch) flat pan with sides that are much lower than the pan diameter and usually (though not always) flared outwards, and no lid. In contrast, a pan of similar diameter with sides of height comparable to the diameter and a lid is called a saucepan.

World's largest

The world’s largest functional frying pan—4.5 metres (15 ft) in diameter—adorns the Rose Hill, North Carolina, (pop. 1,330) town square and can fry 365 chickens at once during poultry festivals.

This frying pan beat out the previous world record sized frying pan that was produced by Mumford Sheet Metal Works in Selbyville, Delaware, in 1950. Made for the annual Delmarva Chicken Festival, it was used to fry over 100 tons of chicken. The pan measures 10 ft (3.0 m) in diameter, beating out the 9.6 ft (2.9 m) Long Beach, Washington, frying pan built in 1941 for their annual Clam Festival.
