what size cast iron skillet??

[Woodbutcher]

A 10" is a good all around pan. An 8" is fine for 2-3 people. I found an old 14" Lodge that I use for making huge batches of Chili or pasta sauce. I can easily brown 5 LBs of meat in it. But I don't use it often and it's harder to store.

I agree - 10" is my favorite skillet size. Any bigger and, when full, I need a winch to help lift it!

Remember, you don't have to cook the potato whole (or you can tent foil over the skillet if you really want to "bake" the potato in the skillet.)

I use a 12" for pizza, and a 6" for eggs. I have others, but have not used them much. Most everything ends up in a Dutch oven.

A good cast iron turkey roaster if you are gonna bake it .........




Or maybe a couple rolls of aluminum foil !
