What’s the best cast iron skillet for the kitchen? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enameled cast iron is a good option for the kitchen. My advice on traditional cast iron for the kitchen is a 10 to 13-inch skillet with both a helper handle and a long handle for ease in lifting and placing it. With a glass cooktop, you don’t want any heftiness and an enameled type is an attractive option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your kitchen, nothing is more versatile than a skillet. And in modern kitchens, glass cooktops are the go with induction cooking<\/a> becoming ever more popular.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 15-inch pans will do the trick, but they are weightier and for this reason, better suited to an open campfire than a modern kitchen stovetop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d opt for a skillet with a cool to touch handle if you intend using it on the stovetop only. The wooden handles stay cool <\/strong>to touch and are such an option, but steer away from these if you want a skillet for use in a hot oven or with open flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
