The '''Frying Pan''' is a [[melee]] weapon used by the [[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]] classes. It is simply a black Frying Pan, possibly made of non-stick material.

Gameplay-wise, this weapon has no discernable differences from the Shovel or Bottle. The weapon is likely related to the new Left 4 Dead 2 campaign, "The Sacrifice," as Valve staff have commented on the item stating that it is related to an upcoming out-of-game event (leading to its current un-tradeable status).

“ ”

The Frying Pan is a promotional melee weapon for all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is based on the Frying Pan from the video game Left 4 Dead 2; a seasoned cast-iron skillet with a small dent on the underside.

This weapon functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon, but with an added cosmetic function: upon contact with a surface or player, it plays pan weapon sounds from Left 4 Dead 2.

Using Strange Bacon Grease on this item gives the user a Strange variant.

This item, together with Ellis' Cap, is awarded to players who own Left 4 Dead 2.

The kill icon for the Frying Pan was contributed by Gaspar .
