Tips to remember “sartén”:
– Associate the word with its physical shape – “sartén” sounds slightly similar to “satellite,” and you can imagine a satellite dish which is also round like a frying pan.
– You can think of “arte” (art in Spanish) within the word “sar-tén”; cooking can be seen as a form of art and the pan is your tool.
– Break the word down into sounds that are similar to English: “sar” (like “sir”) + “tén” (like “ten”), as in “Sir, may I have ten frying pans?”

Explanations:
– “Sartén” is a noun in Spanish that refers to a cooking utensil with a flat bottom used for frying, searing, and browning foods.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– “Cacerola” can sometimes be used interchangeably with “sartén” in Spanish, but it usually refers to a saucepan or a pot.
– “Freidora” is more about deep frying and is typically referred to as a deep fryer.

Alternate meanings or slang:
– “Sartén” doesn’t commonly have significant alternate meanings or widespread slang uses, although in some contexts it could be used metonymically for cooking in general (“Estar en la sartén” can be akin to saying someone is in charge of cooking).

Examples of sentences:
– “Necesito una sartén nueva porque la mía está muy desgastada.” (I need a new frying pan because mine is very worn out.)
– “¿Puedes pasar la sartén para comenzar a freír los huevos?” (Can you pass the frying pan to start frying the eggs?)
– “Esta sartén es perfecta para hacer tortillas españolas.” (This pan is perfect for making Spanish omelettes.)
– “Ten cuidado al manejar la sartén caliente.” (Be careful handling the hot frying pan.)
