This enameled cast iron skillet earned The Best rating after comparative tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute showed that it cooked the best tasting food and prevented food from sticking. A professional chef was commissioned to prepare steak, cornbread, and gravy in each skillet. The chef lauded The Best model for searing steak that was "perfectly browned on all sides" and "extremely moist and tender," unlike lesser models that produced steak that had a "leathery" exterior and was "dry and bland." The Best model's cornbread was described as the "perfect balance of flavor and moistness," far superior to another skillet's cornbread that was "overwhelmingly dry." The chef preferred The Best model because it "heated quickly and evenly" and its dual-handle design made it easy to move the skillet from the stovetop to the oven, while lesser skillets were "too heavy and awkward." The Best model's enameled cooking surface helps prevent food from sticking and its dual spouts enable ease of pouring gravy. 19" W x 13 1/2" D x 2 1/2" H. (6 3/4 lbs.)
