The Lodge 10.25-inch Cast Iron Skillet is USA-made, seasoned cookware suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, and fire cooking. The round skillet weighs 5.66 pounds with a 2-inch depth and handles all stovetop and oven cooking. Cast iron's superior heat distribution and retention make it ideal for searing, baking, and everyday kitchen use.
Avoid massive 15-piece sets; you only need a few high-quality pieces (skillet, saucepan, stockpot). Fully clad stainless steel distributes heat much better than pans with just a thick base. Available from $24.9.
Cookware has no energy cost but requires appropriate utensils and cleaning supplies. Non-stick pans are consumables and must be replaced every few years, while cast iron lasts generations.
