My birthday is right around the corner, so, when my husband asked me what I wanted, I was not sure. Later for supper, I was scrambling eggs and thought that I would really like a big cast iron skillet. My largest skillet, which once had been a Teflon coated one, was now quickly becoming a tefl-off pan! When I mentioned it, he suggested that I check online for sizes and prices.
Now, when we have scrambled eggs, I use at least 20 eggs and a cup of milk not to mention the onions, peppers and whatever else strikes my fancy. I need a big skillet! It did not take long to find my dream! A 17″ beauty with loop handles. It is made by Lodge Logic and is pre-seasoned. Now taking out my ruler, I checked our stove to make sure it could handle such a skillet. It could!
The drawback was the skillet cost $69.00. Then, I had a revelation – why not check amazon.com, after all, I had redeemed my Swagbucks for amazon giftcards. What else would I use them for? Sure enough, they had it and it qualified for free shipping. I could get the skillet I wanted, without having to pay any money out of pocket. I ordered it and it was in in my greedy hands in 2 days!
Needless to say, I started using it immediately and love it! This may seem funny to some, to get so excited about a skillet I mean. But, after all, it is the little things in life isn’t it?
Well, I have my skillet. Now, I wonder what John is going to get me for my birthday?
Nice skillet! I so need a new one too as my teflon is tefloff too! I can’t stand that it sticks and what gets me is the pans are not even a year old. So disappointed in them. Happy Birthday!
Dang! I didn’t know those had teflon on them too! Imagine that. Thanks for sharing, but most of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
