Do you have an easy, elegant meal you can make for a brunch or “brinner” (breakfast for dinner)? The Dutch Baby is SO good and making it in the Cast Iron Skillet is the best way to make it. Topping it with fruit gives it a healthy twist too.
5 Reasons to Love the New Pampered Chef Cast Iron Skillets
- How do you like to cook? If you love cooking on all kinds of surfaces from stove top, to oven, to broiler, to grill, to fire pit. These pans can do it all.
- Do you love searing your meats and getting a perfectly crisp crust? Cast iron gives you the most even heating and searing of any pan. You can use it to make cornbread with crisp edges, pizza with crispy edges, dutch babies, and meats with a perfect sear.
- Do you want an easy start up? They come pre-seasoned. You guys – this is awesome! You can start cooking with them right away without having to worry about any process to follow first. That was one thing that was always intimidating to me before I had my own cast iron. It actually has kept me from purchasing it in the past.
- Do you look for easy lifting and space to cook for the family? These Pampered Chef Cast Iron Skillets have two handles and an exclusive design that’s circle- square shaped allowing you to fit four chicken breasts inside. And having two handles makes it so easy to lift and pour (there are two pour spouts – one on each side too!). No more trying to one-hand lift.
- Do you want to pass this to your children? It’s a legacy piece of cookware – it will be passed down for generations due to the quality and versatility of this collection. You can get both a 10-inch and a 12-inch skillet.
