I used a pan similar to this skillet ($12.99) when I was growing up, it was my mom's and IT WAS AWESOME. I found an inexpensive one at Ross one day and again it is AWESOME. I used it to make Migas for breakfast. Which were AWESOME. I am sure you knew that was coming. The skillet was made by Lodge and of course the more you use cast iron the easier it is to clean. You have to season it first with well oiled meals.
I also bought this one because it is reversible - griddle on one side and lined griddle on the other. Again, cheaply found at Ross it was $14.99. Great to warm up those flour tortilla's or make delicious banana pancakes. I can't wait to use the lined side to make panini sandwiches. YUM!
