Old is new again

Take a minute if you will to consider the cast-iron skillet. Over the years I have cooked things in a variety of vessels and nothing beats a well seasoned cast-iron skillet for everyday use. I have a really good and EXPENSIVE pan for cooking eggs, which has a non-stick coating. I will never give it up. I cook everything I can on my charcoal grill. But when it comes to sauteing, frying, pan roasting, or baking, nothing beats my old cheap cast-iron skillet. I use one every day. No other pan improves with age and use. It's the perfect choice for so many things. I make pancakes, steaks, chickens, fish filets, cornbread, upside-down cakes, potatoes, chili, you name it.
