使用する際の注意点

Although somewhat common, skillet is less common than frying pan in American English. It is not likely to be recognized in British English, where the term frying pan is more commonly used. When it is used in current British English, skillet only ever refers to frying pans that are large and heavy and never to ones that are small and light.
