Cast Iron Skillet

KWx2

So i just realized when we moved that i own a cast iron skillet.  Must have been a gift at some point, that I have NEVER used.  Besides the obvious cornbread in the skillet, i am looking for something yummy to try in it this weekend.   Any suggestions?

We've cooked steaks in ours before. Yum!

Steaks

Whole Chicken - throw in some baby potatoes and vegetables. Cook in the oven.

Pork chops

I just made upside down pinapple cake this weekend.

We have started to use ours more and more lately. I love cooking with it.

I use cast iron 99% of the time when I cook, no matter what I'm making. 

I think Chicken Marsala is one of our favorites made in the skillet.

I find myself using my cast iron more and more these days, even over my All Clad pans that I have. To have the heavy bottom, as well as non-stick qualities? Can't beat it!
