From the frying pan into the fire: you wanted to move from a bad situation towards good but opposite happens to you, you ultimately find yourself in a worse situation
And is a conjunction between the two parts of the expression. It is not required in this expression - you are right, that you could say, "From the frying pan into the fire." The preposition "into" connects the two ideas sufficiently without the conjunction.
Thank you!
I found this idiom in a classic ballad called "On An On".I could understand its meaning thanks you clearly explanation.
Thanks a bunch.

I have an issue with the word "and". Why is it used? we say "from here to there", NOT "from here and to there". Thanks

Is it "from of the frying pan into the fire" or" out of the frying pan into the fire" ?

Yes, that is another way to say the expression.

Merci 🙏
Yes, VOA is correct, both ways are ok. However, here in the USA we use "from". If you said "out" instead, while correct, it would sound strange to us.
