Frying pan

Air Fryer or Blackstone will be my first, or it will be my one and two.

Skillet, if you don't have those things, because the skillet one turned out good.

I just got worried, like, this is going to get cooked all the way through.

But it did.

Yeah, I think so.

Because Sizzlin' Skillets are back at Applebee's for a limited time.

Oh, no.

Starting at [laughs] starting at $13.

Now, wait a minute, they have new offerings, Ryan.

The new Cheesy Chicken Skillet, and the new Chicken and Shrimp Scampi Skillet, and the Garlic Sirloin Skillet is back as well.

Sizzlin' Skillets at Applebee's, Coop, in or out?

Uh, man, I've looked at their menu several times in the last few years and just have never gone there.

But one detail of that investigation has continued to trouble us.

Before Angelov's final demise, Sally Owens reportedly struck him over the head with an ordinary household object, a frying pan.

But tonight, our investigation moves beyond the fictional crimes of the Owens sisters.

Because in the real world, the frying pan has a history far more disturbing than anything Hollywood could invent.

Ordinary kitchens become crime scenes, domestic disputes turn deadly, and one seemingly innocent piece of cookware finds itself at the center of murder investigations, spanning from New Jersey to Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and across the Atlantic.

Some of these crimes were fueled by anger, others by secrets, and one occurred on a quiet street in Philadelphia whose name will sound strangely familiar.

Tonight, we investigate what happens when an ordinary kitchen utensil becomes a deadly weapon.

This is Death by Skillet, murder, magic, and the deadly history of the frying pan.

Pot, Tasse.

A pan is a shallow cooking vessel often used when frying or sautéing food.

Pan, Pan.

An oven cooks food by dry heat.

It's what you use to bake cakes or roast meats.

Mm-hmm.

Whichever way you wanna do it, air fryer, microwave or skillet.

Skillet probably the best way, uh, just because it kinda gives it more of that, I think, texture of what you would have if it was made fresh.

Air fryer's gonna just almost make the potatoes-

Sometimes they get a little crunchy

Well, they'll have things.

Wait, we coulda had tickets to see Skillet.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Was Skillet last night?

No, Skillet is the 26th.

Ooh, and then Australia.

So they have a bunch of stuff coming.

And also you hear it on YouTube videos a lot because it's a lot of American creators and they will say like, put that in the skillet or whatever.

It feels like a weird word though, eh?

Skillet.

Yeah.

It feels a bit like what if there was a scientific name for descaling a fish.

[laughs]

[door thuds] Skillet.

[laughs]

Yeah.
