Everyone has a skillet in their kitchen – it’s the workhorse we pull out for cooking eggs, frying cutlets and making stir-fries. But this humble pan can do so much more, as evidenced by the more than 200 recipes in the new America’s Test Kitchen cookbook The Skillet. “The skillet is the unicorn of the kitchen, a pan that is often underestimated but should be highly valued. We believe that once you start cooking from this book, you will look at skillets with new eyes and admiration for all they can do,” say the book’s editors. “Just for starters, a skillet can serve as a pasta pot, a Dutch oven, a casserole dish, a griddle and a cake pan.” Try one of these mouthwatering complete meals, made entirely in a skillet, for dinner tonight!
