Hmmmm........ I had always heard that a shallow straight-sided pan was a sauté pan and the shallow sloped-sided one was a fry pan/skillet. https://www.thekitchn.com...

The difference of use is in the name of the sauté pan (sauter = "to jump" in French). The sloped sides of this type of pan facilitates this cooking technique.

The sloped side of the sauté pan helps with this motion. It is difficult or often impossible to do with a skillet with straight sides.
