Equipment You Will Need

I guess it’s just how I was raised, but I feel like I used my cast iron skillet for almost everything. When I moved to college, my Granny bought me the one you see in my pictures. It’s a 9″ square pan. These are super hard to find. I’ve tried to find them for gifts and have been unsuccessful. I’ve listed some other great round options.
