The Lodge 12-inch carbon steel skillet is a durable, oven-safe cooking vessel made from carbon steel in the USA. It features a built-in handle for secure gripping, works on gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops, and is hand-seasoned for a natural nonstick surface. At 4.4 lbs, it's heavy-duty for searing, frying, and baking—perfect for home cooks who want a reliable skillet that lasts decades.
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 $60.
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.
