American Road Trip: Padella in Ghisa Stagionata da 12 Pollici, Florida

The 12-inch size is perfect for Sunday cornbread, and the seasoned surface was non-stick right out of the box. Made my first Key lime pie crust in it without any sticking at all.

The handle stays surprisingly cool on the stovetop, and the Florida outline on the bottom is a fun detail that makes me smile every time I use it. I’ve already made a perfect batch of cornbread in it—seasoning was spot on right out of the box.

I was worried the state outline might just be a sticker, but it's actually etched right into the seasoned cast iron. It arrived perfectly pre-seasoned and has been great for searing steaks. Minor gripe: it’s heavier than I expected, but that’s the trade-off for quality.

The Florida outline on this skillet is such a fun detail, and it heats evenly for a perfect sear. I’ve already used it for cornbread and eggs, and cleanup is a breeze with just a quick wipe.
