Why they’ll love it
Handles everything from fried eggs to skillet cookies, so it earns its cupboard space quickly.
Works on the stovetop, in the oven and over a fire, giving adventurous cooks plenty to play with.
A well-cared-for skillet can last for decades—rather more memorable than another short-lived kitchen gadget.
How to pick a good one
A 10- to 12-inch skillet suits most kitchens: large enough for dinner, but still manageable at the sink. Weight is the main trade-off, so a helper handle and pouring lips are worth having. Pre-seasoned bare iron is the classic choice; enamel asks for less upkeep and usually costs more.
