That's fine, but I lie fod cooked in the broiler with the overhead heat,
so the small fry pan doesn't work for those fods. It works for egg
breakfast, small amount of sauteed veggies, etc, but I do like broiled
meat and fish, rather than pan seared. matter of personal taste adn what
we are accustomed to, so, for me, small broiler pan works well,
giving me the tst I like and a reltively easy clean-up.
