- Lodge Cast Iron Skillet ($35 at Sur La Table)
- This is a workhorse in our kitchen! We have a variety of pots and pans but there are SO many things that you can cook in a cast iron skillet!
- We especially like the look and feel of Lodge. I recommend the 12 inch for the most versatility
- Similar to the knife, if you take good care of your cast iron, it will last a lifetime!
