Chef's Starter Set No.8

I’ve been using the No.8 skillet with the matching lid for roasting, and the lid fits so snugly that my chicken comes out juicier than with my old pan. The size is great for everyday meals without being too heavy to handle.

The lid fits snugly enough that steam stays trapped for braises, and the skillet itself heats evenly across the base for a solid sear. I’ve used it for roasting chicken and baking cornbread in the same week, and cleanup’s been a breeze with just hot water and a brush.

I've been using it daily for searing steaks and roasting veggies, and the weight feels just right for handling without being a workout. The lid sits on there solid enough that moisture stays in, which has made my braises come out way more tender than before.
