Stir, Sizzle, Bake: Recipes for Your Cast-Iron Skillet: A Cookbook

"There's nobody better to offer guidance on the best way to utilize the most basic, adaptable thing in your kitchen."— Grub Street

The cast-iron skillet has been an unassuming workhorse utilized for ages to fresh bacon consummately and fry chicken; presently use it to turn out delicate scones, cakes, and breads. An inquisitive home cook, Charlotte Druckman has sorted out each stunt for this flexible container. Warmth the skillet for a couple of moments, add some margarine to sizzle, and you can brown messy arepas, get a crunchy outside on a kimchi-beat hoecake, or rankle naan directly on the burner. Or on the other hand preheat the skillet in the stove and you're prepared to heat no-massage pizza, the gooiest clingy buns, and even a cornflake-milk layer cake.

With lovely photos, tips for preparing cast iron, and information on gathering vintage pieces, this book makes cooking so much fun that your skillet will never observe the cabinet.

"An unquestionable requirement own book. Druckman's manifestations jump off the page, and even better, rouse you to get a skillet." — San Francisco Chronicle

My 40-year old cast iron skillet is one of my favorite pieces of kitchen equipment. What a treat to find a book with such new and innovative recipes with beautiful photographs. An added bonus is The Skillet Pantry that tells you where to find ingredients and, at the same time, introduced me to some new products. I particularly enjoyed reading Charlotte's personal insights! --SK
