From sauteing to searing, these four skillets are seasoned pros.
BEST BUDGET OPTION
Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet, $36
amazon.com
Our testers deemed this model "great for the price point" and ideal for budget-minded cooks. It conducts plenty of heat for searing steaks and baking cornbread, but its most noteworthy feature is the silicone pan holder for burn-free handling.
MOST PORTABLE
Field Company No. 8 Cast-Iron Skillet, $145

At 4.5 pounds, this skillet is one of the lightest we tested, with optimized weight distribution and an ergonomic design that's forgiving on the wrist. Whether you're carrying it to the campsite or simply lifting it off the hot stove, you'll appreciate that.
WORTHIEST SPLURGE
Smithey No. 10 Cast-Iron Skillet, $160
smithey.com
Cast-iron pans are popular kitchen investment pieces, and this classic style with a polished finish is built to last. Our testers especially liked its high sides that reduce sauce and oil spatter and its "perfect" double-pour spouts.
BEST OVERALL
Stargazer 10.5-In. Cast-Iron Skillet, $115

This pan features a long, forked handle that stays cool to the touch and a rolled rim for easy pouring and fewer drips. It also aced our "fried egg" test, which set it apart in a crowded field. "Not one bit of white left behind," noted a tester.
HOW AYESHA CURRY COOKS
Ayesha Curry Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, $50
macys.com
From lifestyle guru Ayesha Curry's ever-expanding line of home goods, this cast-iron pan -- available in 10- and 12-in. versions -- comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. It also heats uniformly and holds it temperature, meaning more evenly cooked food. |
