Pots & Pans refer to a variety of cookware essential for preparing food on stove tops and ovens. They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, each designed for specific cooking tasks. Pots typically have taller sides and are ideal for boiling, simmering, and making soups or stews. Pans, on the other hand, have shorter sides and a broader cooking surface, making them perfect for frying, sauteing, and searing.
