My favorite pan is an 8" cast iron skillet that I use for campfire cooking. Omelettes and bacon on a campfire can't be beat. |

I love my Circulon Buffet. It seems to be my "go to" piece of cookware for everything from browning a roast to popping popcorn. I can get my roux going and finish a sauce in it. The surface is a quick easy clean and it can go from stovetop to oven. It's truly perfect in its versatility. |

I have a copper embedded set from Costco that's really pretty decent.
However, for my fav. I have a larger 13" lodge cast iron skillet that is pretty much indestructible. Totally non-stick now and handles everything. |

Really we just need a good popcorn pan for the induction stove, but a whole set would be cool too! |

The most useful pan I own is a 12-in. diameter high-sided stainless. I've gotten to the point where it rarely even gets put away, just gets washed and placed back on the stove for the next time I need it. Cooking for only two people, there's very little that is too large to fit in it unless I'm planning for leftovers.
I use it for everything from pork tenderloin to veggie sautes, works pretty well as a one quiver pot in almost any situation. |

I feel like a tool opportunist, this being my first post, to win a set of pots!
Pots rule!
I think my current favorite is a blue 8 or 9" Le Creuset skillet I picked up at a thrift store for three dollars.
It's perfect for any single serving one pot meal; reheating left-overs; grilled cheese; over medium eggs, omelets... okay, so maybe one might need a little skill too, cast iron and omelets being what they are.
I have mad skills.
and no, i am not a pot head pot head.
My second favorite pot is Bona Vita stove top kettle. I'm a bit of a coffee snob. |

My favorite is an 4 quart stainless steel pot with small handles on each side. I don't know how many things I've made in that pot in the last 5+ years! It's the perfect size for the recipes I make on a regular basis. My stainless steel skillet is a close runner up though. |

My favorite pan is a 14" wok that I got from walmart. They no longer sell them and the company name has worn off, so I'm not sure of the brand. I love using it to cook Asian food and and stir fry. |

I think the 12 inch "International Pan"s I have (Anolon & Circulon) are
my favorite all-purpose pans, but I'd love to have a new set to test out
to find a new favorite ! |

I love my 12" cast iron skillet. I bought and seasoned with real lard. It works better than teflon. |

fisherman83!
I pulled all 117 comments, removed mine, duplicates, and those where I did not have email addresses (the few guest posts where the user provided identifying information were included but the couple guest/anonymous posts without any information were excluded). The final tally was 112 entrants. I used random.org to generate a random number and it gave me 109 which equated to fisherman83 (who was the 109th qualifying post [and the 112th comment overall]). |
