16 inch cast iron skillet

Tweet

I finally got around to opening up my new cast iron skillet. I thought that it was a 14 inch one but apparently I went with the "bigger is better" school of thought and ordered a 16 inch one. It is HUGE. I have no idea what I was thinking. It easily takes up half of the stove top which means that I'll have to have 2 burners on to try to cook with it--or use it primarily outside on the grill and in the oven. I also now have to try to find a place to store it in my already cramped kitchen. I already have a 10 inch Lodge cast iron skillet that I use all the time. It is great and fine for us because it is only the 2 adults living here that I am cooking for. Still, I would like something bigger. . . just not quite as big as what I ordered.
