We still have the same saucepans and stockpots since when we were first married. We have, however, replaced our skillets multiple times in the past 19 years! I think I buy one workhorse 12" skillet about every 3 years or so. What can we buy that will replace this?
We have used cast iron in the past. I'd be open to using it again, however, I think that some of the dishes I cook might not be good in cast iron? I'm thinking of recipes that use lime juice or tomato sauces that are highly acidic and I think those are not good to use in cast iron? I still have my lodge skillet though it is rusted. I don't think I was ever properly seasoned and cleaning it was always something challenging for me. But maybe I'm up to the challenge now?
I saw those Ninja Foodi pans at Target that are advertised for handling extremely high temperatures. Anyone have any experience with them? They're about twice the cost we usually pay for a 12" skillet BUT if I don't replace this one in 3 years that's a win right?
Other things we cook include eggs, stir fry, various chicken dishes, etc. This is our most used pan!
TIA!
ETA: I think this is what we've bought the last few times. Size wise this is PERFECT. I just wish it would last longer. But maybe with nonstick a couple of years is the best we can hope for? Thanks again!
