Help me decide between 12” fry pan and 11” deep skillet
Is the 8.5 in deep skillet big enough for two steaks?
Double handle skillet as a braiser?
Staub cast iron?!
Hi! I went to Williams Sonoma yesterday to look at their Le Creuset and I was amazed by how much more beautiful the Staub was. The 12” fry pan is actually sexy, if there’s any way a pan can be called that. I have a new induction stove and I’m looking for the perfect pan for an 11” diameter burner. 5 person family. We cook all day long. I think the 11” deep skillet might be more practical, it’s just not as attractive to me as the 12” fry pan. Thought I’d ask for opinions about use. Is one a lot easier to handle? Lighter? More practical? I try to stay minimalist in the kitchen and I gave away my 12” Lodge cast iron which we used all the time for everything because it was leaving a white haze on the new cooktop.
The 8.5 inch is currently on sale for $99 while the 11 inch is $249. I’m tempted to get the 8.5 inch because it’s on sale but worried that I’d be making a big miss-steak (pun intended.)
