Misen 10″ Stainless Steel Skillet
True story: Every time my mom comes over for dinner and sees that I am still using our set of aluminum cookware, she shudders. She’s told me for years that we should move to stainless steel when not using cast iron. While I think her science is off about why aluminum isn’t great, there’s no denying that the $65 Misen 10″ skillet is nicer and more substantial than the expensive aluminum stuff we’ve got. Made of 30mm 5-ply steel and aluminum for better heat conductivity and retention, at almost 3 pounds the Misen skillet is extremely stout and well made. Granted, it takes a little while to get used to using a “stick” skillet (as opposed to a nasty non-stick Teflon coated skillet, if that’s what you’re moving up from), but this is a pan that will serve mom well and last her a lifetime.
