Five American-Made Cast Iron Skillets for your Kitchen

My grandfather was an unassuming chef. He was a San Francisco native who baked sourdough bread and made delicious sauces – but always failed to write down his recipes. He was a maverick in the kitchen and he loved his cast iron pan. My sister was the one who, when my grandfather passed away, had the presence of mind to keep and maintain his pan.

Cast iron pans are truly heirloom pieces, especially when you get the quality ones. Luckily for us, good skillets aren’t relegated to the realm of vintage. There are still several really great American companies manufacturing excellent quality cast iron skillets today. Take a look at these American-made cast iron skillets!

Butter Pat Industries is the happy outcome of a sad moment for the company’s founder. On that fateful day, Dennis Powell dropped and cracked the skillet he’d inherited from his grandmother. To memorialize his favorite kitchen tool, he figured out how to mold and make skillets – an endeavor that eventually evolved into Butter Pat Industries. If you are looking for a smooth and lighter weight option, this might be the skillet for you.
