Lodge Cast Iron Pan

This pan is a MUST for any kitchen. It is virtually indestructible and literally gets better the more you use it. What's great about a cast iron pan is that retains heat. Meaning, great for oven cooking and even browning. For a great versatile size, I recommend the 9" Cast Iron pan or the 10.25" Cast Iron pan.
