Was just browsing Lodge cast iron, wondering if there are some pieces I should splurge on. Are there non-standard pieces people actually use? Normally it’s just me for dinner but my two teens are back summers
I have the three standard skillets that I use frequently, with lids I use occasionally. I got the small Dutch oven thinking it would be good for beans, veggies, maybe a small bread loaf, but have to admit I’ve never used it.
What about
- the minis, like 5” or 6.5” - do you actually do like individual apple crisp or anything? Which size is actually useful? How many?
- tall frying pan - I’ve been afraid to try frying, but is this significantly safer than the regular skillet, for fish or something? Or should I just stick to the air fryer? Do people use this?
- does anyone like the baking pan or cookie sheet? Do you use it enough to be worthwhile?
Wow, does not seem like they’d be at all similar!
I just checked, the pan might be 8 inch, hard to say without a ruler which I don’t have handy, it isn’t much smaller than my 10 in lodge (it is an unlabeled off brand I got years ago - my memory is 6 inch but my memory isn’t perfect)
