What do you use a prying pan for?

Those are specifically made for "chefs" who overcook everything. Often their food needs to be pried out of the pot or pan it was cooked in.

To fry.

If you don't have a frying pan, you can still fry but it will consume a lot of cooking oil and gas.

If you ask me, get a cheap frying pan before you rack up extra bills and pain while cooking food.

Beat people with it.
