It is the deepest pan from all – having the tallest sides of any pan. It looks and acts almost like a wok pan and sometimes can also be called a wok (keep in mind that even though it has a round shape, a stir fry pan still has a partially flat bottom in comparison with a real wok, which is fully round).

Reasons these are useful:

1. From a functional standpoint, it is essentially an upgraded sauté pan.
2. Great for preparing Asian meals.
3. Finishing pasta.
4. Stir-fry vegetables, preparing sauces, and more food preparation with even higher volumes.
