Skillets and sets worth buying once and using often, from everyday cast iron to stainless and a small nonstick pair.
A made-in-USA workhorse for searing, baking cornbread, or finishing a frittata in the oven. The 12-inch size feeds a small household, and the included silicone holder helps when the handle is too hot to grab bare.
