I found a 10 inch Lodge brand cast iron skillet on Amazon with free shipping for a good price over a year ago
I've used it for fritattas (how the heck do you spell that?), for sauteing vegetables and my for my son's favorite-a skillet brownie recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction site. I clean it with hot water and a stiff brush. I am very happy with it.
I still have not splurged on a dutch oven yet. I am running out of cabinet space! I never cook red meat in the oven or on the stove ,(all I do is occasionally grill hamburgers on my Cuisinart indoor grill, and I make turkey ones 98% of the time) so I'm debating on whether I need it or not.
I haven't tried cornbread yet-to be honest we all LOVE Trader Joe's cornbread mix, so I've stopped trying to make it from scratch. I may try cooking the prepared mix in the cast iron skillet, though. I have to figure out the cooking time-the difference between using an eight inch square glass pan as opposed to a 10 inch skillet. Any ideas on that
I haven't tried cooking eggs in the cast iron pan-any tips? I still have a non stick pan for that. I have stainless steel pans, but cooking eggs in it was a disaster.
Thanks, Helen! I had looked there over a year ago, but they did not have the size I was trying to find.
