The '''Frying Pan''' is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[melee]] [[weapon]] available for both the [[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]. It appears as a worn cast-iron skillet with a film of grease on the cooking surface.
 
  
The Frying Pan replaces the model of either the [[Shovel]] or [[Bottle]] without altering gameplay mechanics, [[critical hit]] animations or [[taunt]]s. Upon contact with a surface or player, it will play sound files from ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]''.

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 .
