Smithey No. 12 Dual Handle Skillet

Finished a whole chicken in this thing—seared it on the burner, then straight into the oven, and the dual handles made hauling it out and serving at the table feel effortless. The cast iron holds heat so evenly that the skin came out crackly and the meat stayed juicy. Just wish I'd bought it sooner.

I was skeptical about the extra handle but it genuinely makes moving this from stovetop to oven so much easier, especially when it's full. The skillet sears beautifully and goes right to the table without a fuss, though I've learned to keep the mitts close by.

The dual handles are the game-changer—I can actually carry this thing full of food without burning my forearms, and it goes straight from the stovetop into the oven without any fuss. Served right at the table last night and the guests were impressed, though I did warn everyone about the mitts before
