The dad who has never owned a pan he could put on the barbecue and in the oven
What it is
A 12 inch Lodge skillet with a helper handle, seasoned and ready to use. Oven, stove, grill bars or straight into a campfire. Made in the United States.
Why we picked it
Cast iron is one of the few gifts that is genuinely better in thirty years than on the day, and Lodge is the version that costs a fraction of the boutique brands while doing exactly the same job. The helper handle is not a detail: twelve inches of cast iron full of food needs two hands and everyone learns that once.
