No.5 Cast Iron Chef Skillet

I’ve cooked eggs on this every morning for two weeks and the smooth surface releases them like nothing else I’ve owned. The 7.5-inch size is just right for a two-egg breakfast, and it heats up evenly without any hot spots. My only gripe is the handle gets hot fast, but that’s easy to work around.

The curved sides make flipping eggs feel effortless, and the 7.5-inch size is perfect for a single serving. It's already my go-to pan for weekend breakfasts, and the smooth surface cleans up in seconds.

The smooth surface is so slick that my eggs slide right out with just a light wipe of butter, no stick at all. I've used it every single morning for two weeks now and it's become the first pan I reach for when the coffee's brewing.
