This whopper of a skillet can barely be lifted by one person when empty, so keep a fellow cook handy if you have to move it when full of fried chicken!
Measuring 20 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, the skillet cooks up enough fish, hamburgers, eggs and bacon, or pancakes to feed the whole hunting or fishing party.
Made out of rugged cast iron, this monster is sturdy enough for just about any cooking situation-a campfire, outdoor gas or patio stove, indoor stove top or oven, you name it.
To clean, simply rinse and scrub the skillet without detergent after each use.
No assembly is required.
Before the first use, the cast-iron skillet should be seasoned at least once and preferably several times.
This will help prevent rusting and creates a nonstick finish.
After washing and drying thoroughly, the skillet should be coated with solid vegetable shortening, such as lard or bacon fat (not butter or margarine).
Let the skillet 'bake' in a 300-degree-F oven for one hour, then remove and wipe off the excess.
Spraying with a non-stick shortening after each use can also help season the pan.
