They look the same to me. Is this some form of market segmentation?

I don't think there's any difference. My chicken fryer would be called a saute pan in most other places. I don't call it a saute pan because I use a frying pan to fry - not a "saute" pan.

No they definitely are different. Here is article and pictures.

I know about a skillet being shallow and having angled sides. But my 'chicken fryer' has straight sides and is the same depth as the saute pan I'm eyeing, which has straight sides.

In article <bb608a02-7b98-483d...@googlegroups.com>,
pans are made from sheet stock.

Mine is like yours. Tall sides for a chicken fryer/sauté pan which makes it great for making gravy with ease.

little dangerous since there's a chance of causing a chicken oil fire.
That's the worst fire you can have. Some French folks might call my
chicken fryer a saute pan but you'd never catch me being all uppity and
pretentious.

To me a chicken fryer IS a cast iron pan...deep, straight sides, with a lid, used pretty much just for frying chicken. In the South that is the standard pan for frying chicken. My mother had one and she fried chicken and anything else deep fried in that pan.
A saute pan also has straight sides but is usually stainless steel. I have a saute pan, I don't have a chicken fryer since I got away from doing much frying. If I am going to fry chicken like I've done lately with the pork rind coating, I use my saute pan.
sorry for my misinformation.

I AM going to buy that SS Cuisinart pan. I know I've said here I'd never buy another Cuisinart item ( that @$#$ waffle iron ), but I will cave on this one. Supposedly a sixty dollar pan for 22 bucks. all metal and with a helper handle.

My saute pan is the Cuisinart. 10" Pan with 3" depth. And a Lid. I have other Cuisinart stainless. I like it. It cooks very well.

chicken fryer is huge and IMNSHO is far too large to saute anything but
massive amounts of whatever. I had a smaller pan I used to saute; it
was the same shape as my chicken fryer - had straight sides as opposed
to slanted slides like in my RevereWare skillets.

AFAIK, chicken fryers have straight sides and always a lid. Skillets

I got a big one too but these days, I tend to only cook for my wife. I may retire that pan - end of an era. No problem, I'll just use my wok.

fry pans. I think a 10" pan is too small for frying chicken. This is
my go-to fry pan for many uses:
