For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.
My 10" cast iron Lodge skillet. It’s great! And don’t believe all the people who claim that you have to devote most of your life to taking care of your cast iron. They’re cast iron for God’s sake! Pioneers took them all the way across America in their Conestoga wagons. Just don’t leave them wet or stick them in a dishwashing machine, and you’re fine!
Iron lodge is great. I have a 12" stargazer that weighs almost 7 lbs. I developed crazy forearms just handling that beast.
I can’t imagine how a smaller person could cook with one of those things. It’s all I can do to lift it to dump out whatever I’ve been cooking.
I saw a much bigger Lodge skillet in a department store; maybe it was 15 in, maybe more. Anyway, I couldn’t even shift it with one hand. It took two hands just to move it, and it wasn’t easy!
