Skillet

A skillet is a flat-bottomed pan that is used for cooking on a stovetop. It is typically made of cast iron or stainless steel. Skillets can be used to cook a variety of foods, including meats, vegetables, and eggs.

The history of skillet recipes is long and varied. One of the earliest recorded skillet recipes is for a dish called Egg in a Hole, which was published in The Virginia Housewife in 1824. This dish consisted of an egg that was fried in a small amount of bacon fat and then served on toast.

Over the years, people have come up with countless different ways to prepare food in a skillet. Some of the most popular skillet recipes include breakfast dishes like pancakes and eggs, as well as lunch and dinner staples like burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. There are also a number of desserts that can be made in a skillet, such as brownies, cookies, and cakes.
