10 Tasty Recipes to Cook In Your Cast Iron Skillet

At ManMade, we’re big fans of cast iron cookware, particularly the must-own skillet, which you can use from everything from cooking your breakfast bacon and eggs to cornbread to setting on your grill or an open fire for a safe, efficient way to cook outdoors. A 10″ or 12″ skillet is one of our ten items every man should own, and in my opinion,  one of the best $20-30 anyone can spend.Especially when it not only serves as a tool for making your meal, but the only vessel you need for an easy one-pot(ish) meal. The Kitchn rounded up ten cool ideas that would be equally at home on the stovetop or over the campfire. Some require a bit of boiling of pasta, etc, but all the searing, sautéing  and baking happen right there in the skillet, out of which you also serve the meal directly. 

Megan says, 

Having a few quick dinner recipes in your back pocket is always a good thing. But even better are the recipes that don’t use multiple bowls and pans, allowing you to cut down on prep time and dishes. This is why I love a good skillet recipe…. There’s something really satisfying about cooking and serving dinner in a skillet — and often, depending on the dish, food actually tastes better when cooked in cast iron….This list features something for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
