- What pan can I use if I don't have a cast iron skillet?
The best choices for cast iron skillet substitutes are tri-ply stainless-steel skillets, nickel-plated skillets, Dutch ovens, saucepans, or Pyrex casserole dishes. Your substitution will depend on the recipe you choose, cooking method, duration, and temperature called for in your recipe.
- Can I use a regular skillet instead of a cast iron skillet?
While your recipe will likely work fine with a normal pan, it won't develop the same kind of crispy exterior that it might with cast iron. If you don't have a cast iron pan and aren't willing to buy one today then use what you have. Even if it doesn't work as well it will be better than not making anything.
