I just received a green pan skillet 2 months ago - and it is amazing! I love that you don't have to add oil, and nothing sticks (not even blackened fish!) It is so far superior to my old teflon coated skillets - I use it all the time. The whole set is on my wishlist...

I have a 16" cast iron skillet which is by far my favorite pan just for the novelty effect. I take it to potlucks with cornbread (I have to triple the recipe) all the time and it's a fabulous conversation starter! Not to mention that we actually have a wedding picture taken with that skillet! Can you say redneck!!! It was a gag gift from my Mother in Law but now that wedding picture is one of my absolute favorites--it reminds me of when we were young and silly and still dreaming about the fabulous future we are living today!

I don't have any fancy pots or skillets. Most of what we have are things my husband already owned when we got married. I know it is time to invest in something new, I just usually would rather spend my money on something more fun. But I just need to break down and do it. I probably use a big skillet we have (can't remember the size) with a lid for most things.

When you marry into my husband's family, you receive "the red pan" as a gift from his grandparents. "The red pan" is a 6 quart cast iron, enameled coated, Dansk lidded casserole. Since everyone in the family has one, many recipes are referred to as "red pan" recipes in family conversations. I love it because it is a great dish and is sentimental.

Just tried to find one online, but could not. Hope they are still available!

I love my preseasoned Lodge Logic cast iron dutch oven. It sears meat so nicely and holds heat like none other. Plus my husband gets to make dutch oven jokes. It's a dual purpose piece of equipment.

Le Creuset dutch oven in lemongrass. Love. I love the color, the weight of it and the fact that it cleans so easily. I like to make marinara sauce (from Mollie Katzen's cookbook), my daughter's mac n' cheese, soup, coq a vin - anything. It's my go-to pot.

I love my two huge Cathrineholm Dutch ovens. Stovetop, oven, braising, roasting, you name it. Scored them on eBay and secretly wish I could get a third. And we just got a Cuisinart Green Gourmet 12-inch wok pan for which I have high stir-fry hopes.

I have an oval, kiwi-colored Le Creuset dutch oven that I cook just about anything in, if I can. It makes anything feel fancy. My most frequent is pantry/fridge soup using the random ingredients I have on hand on those nights when I need dinner but didn't make it to the grocery store. It always turns out delicious and with a glass of wine, I almost feel French.

We have an AWESOME dutch oven that my in-laws got us as an anniversary present. It's Lodge - in crazy ass 70s brown (though it was gifted in 2008), and costs WAY less then the Le Creuset version.

I cook EVERYTHING in the damn thing. Braises? Check. Soup? Check. Tacos? Why the hell not! Enameled cast iron is the best thing in the world for my ancient cranky apartment electric stovetop. I will never go back to caramelizing onions in a skillet.

I love my 12 inch all clad stainless saute pan. It's not as heavy as the 14 inch but it's big enough to make a one pan family meal for 4. I usally get the pan just below smoking point, sear my meat then throw in my seasonal veggies and sqeeze in fresh lemon to deglaze. Turn the pan down as low as it can go, while flipping everything around and put a lid on it and let it cook through the remaing time. It cleans up perfect everytime. I love it. It is my work horse!

I love my dutch oven and pretty much decided that there is no other way to cook except with serious cast iron and an oven. Unfortunately since I've been pregnant (halfway done), the most action my dutch oven has received is from my husband cooking brats in beer so some inspiration is needed at this point.

For my wedding, one of my Mom's "recipe group" friends got me a deep cast iron skillet. It's not the most used dish in the house (let's be honest, that would be the microwave turn table), but it is my gourmet cooking pan. My hubby knows when that dish is out we're eating something really good.
